Indeed a good question, and one we could debate here, but would cross the boundaries of the 3 Politeness Taboos (discussing Sex, Religion and Politics)

Well, 1 boundary anyway... but I am sure most of us have open minds anyway here.

It's a good question, I'll be interested to hear Brian's thought on that one.

LOL I didn't read the full description of the prize when I entered as I didn't think I had a snowballs chance in hell of winning. So I have no idea of the details. And now the page for entering the comp is closed.
It seems they are throwing a prize pack in as well. I'm hoping it contains books and videos. .

Thats a really great question and one we all have probably given a little thought to in recent times.

Off to the salon and frock shop before you leave ?

Hi jjj,

I'm a bit late getting this in. All the best congrats and salutations have been used up. There's so many of them.

I am sincerely happy for you. You are well deserving of this good fortune.
Particularly because your enthusiasm is unprecedented. I hope it goes well for you.

Have you given thought to starting an exclusive type of teaching clinic? LOL. I would enroll as your first student.

Cheers

You don't think a pair of jeans and an IIS tshirt is appropriate?
