What school of business did you go to AnthG?
You need to Keep It Simple and Stupid and you don't. If you were in business, you would never get anything done. Just get on with it but you are a talker and not a doer. I have read the thread but in the end, I wondered why I bothered. You depress me and actually annoy me with your tone and content.
Do you ever get to see a lady or as you starkly put it, prostitute and when you do, repeat all this theory and send her to sleep? At least she wouldn't have to go far to get some sleep. I would love to be a News of The World reporter eavesdropping when you phone up the lady and ask her, is that Pam the Prossie or Paula the Prostitute. The ladies reaction would be savage.
Just lighten up man and enjoy the beauty of a lady. Ok, sometimes you will pay a bit too much and you will pay too little. Just relax.
I hate the expression, "Get a Life", but with you, you should.
