Yeah.

Sorry Tom. Yes I saw the nice things you said. And I saw the little hair-splitting thing in there too.

I'd just like to say YOU TRY IT SOMETIME and see if you do any better.

I remember long ago when I'd only ever been on the sidelines I used to do the same. Then I wasn;t on the sidelines anymore and it was me in front of a crowd, expected to say all the right things and be perfect.

Let's just say, it ain't nearly as easy as it looks.
