I just went to the last page and was totally confused about the feathers thing, go back ah it all makes sense.
I like the idea.
I would have to say i sit on 6 feathers atm. I was sitting on probably a 1 or 2 for a while but crawling my way up.
Good to see things are getting better for you Arthur

A slight hijack here, but don't teach your kids to drive. Honestly, if it's at all difficult, don't do it. I've just finished three years of teaching driving, and a lot of it was undoing the damage dads did before I got to them. Mind you, it's easy being patient when you have your own set of pedals handy. But seriously, keep your feathers and send her to a school.Quote:

The full gambit of emotions, went into the training he received and I do agree that the cheap ( ??? ) option of trying to teach your offspring to drive, is very much the wrong way to go.

He is busy looking for accommodation near the Golf coarse starting in July, does anyone know what prices he would expect to pay?

Thanks Superquag, that's a really good effort and the list is looking now to be a good yardstick to measure this hidden menace by.
It's going to be a lot easer to pass on how you are feeling to someone that doesn't really under stand where you are at with your emotions, by using that scale.
I need someone else to pop up now and fill in the number eight position, or a least make some suggestions on how or if any improvements can be made.
