Heya Karen, it's definitely dark humour, but I have inadvertently spilled the beans when a little worse for wear cheers David

I can tell you all night long your secret is safe with me, but if I have one too many drinks, oops, cheers David

A legitimate excuse is forgiven; an illegitimate alibi is not. Your Tanka is a good one...soup mail, David.

Heya Jenna, yes I'm afraid I've let the cat out of the bag in the past, my willpower was compromised by a few excessive drinks, I know sounds silly but it's true, cheers David

I'm guilty as charged Tom, I've let slip a few whilst under the influence, I couldn't even remember til reminded, was probably just the drink talking, it's not an excuse, but it was my alibi, cheers David
