    I find my moderator skills are a little rusty - is that any better?
    Oh - just thought - do you want 'pride cometh before a fall?'

    I had a Primitive Methodist grandmother - we lived with her when I was very young and from time I find I know rather more biblical quotations than I realise...

    My Methodist grandmother came to live with us when she got older, her family were all Methodist miners from Cornwall. There are only two species of humans where I'm from, Methodists and Baptists, and our tiny town had one tiny church for each. About Primitive Methodist I don't know, they're whatever sort of Methodists the Victorian Cornish miners were, no alcohol, no swearing, no card-playing, modest in dress.

    Abraham Lincoln quoted the Bible often.

    Being shown a modernist painting, and asked for his opinion, Lincoln said

    The painting is a good painting and the artist is a good artist, for he follows the commandment: You shall not make any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

    OC, I am sure since you have Cornish miners in your family you must have enjoyed many pasties. You got me thinking of them, haven’t made any in a long time. Might just make some soon.

    I am reminded of a quote from the film; A River Runs Through It.
