Steady on Bill, you can't do that, apparently! Just think we could upset all those thin skinned people out there and give them an excuse to run, post haste, back to their mother's apron strings. The age of courtesy is not dead in my book, which still allows for straight talking without all this political correctness stuff. I see nothing wrong with straight talking, if it gets the point across politely. But you have to be careful, you know, lest you get the label of being, er, well, "gasp", blunt!
