Tread many thanks for that. I actually admire that hard old generation, not least for what they did for their countries (which of course is the strongest aspect of the bond between the UK and the US, in fact my W's father would never talk about what he witnessed in the army back then but that is of course a whole other story).
Although my father is no longer around he would have stated as a fact that that our generation are probably too touchy feely, especially in affairs of the heart. But at the same time if my wife's plan is to run rings around the MC hopefully I can tease a few snippets out from the MC in my solo session next week. As I do not intend to check on messages I will play it purely on gut instinct from now on (which has been pretty spot on up unitl now).
