@graeme-ogg So it's not a positive thought you're having about it then......which you're wrong cuz I'm sure she's hot for me; my IQ plays a major part in her attraction no doubt.   To be honest it can be a curse at times.........this is not one of those times though.

Absolutely right, JK. We must do all we can to protect the naive and vulnerable amongst us.
