Ain’t life just one great big fake shark fin… ‘He made me do it!’. (I’ll never be ashamed of citing ‘Jaws’ as my - probably - favourite movie). Succinctly put monoku, David. Terry

Really is Terry, we won’t mention politics, Jaws was terrifying to watch as a kid, but was a must see movie, we would brag in school, and pretend it wasn’t that scary, cheers David

Proven true rule. David did you see the young deaf girl Rose who won Strictly Come Dancing. Not that I like or even watch the program. But it managed to tame and heal even my cold cynical heart.

I don't presume to know you David. But if you get a chance do please check out. I think it may just inspire you Sir into penning one of your classical pieces

Always Jenna, I honestly believe scapegoats are the most important (tools) in any rulers kingdom, and indeed figuratively like you just mentioned, cheers David
