    it only provokes them and seldom changes their viewpoint
    That's right. I have been guilty of spouting things that I have later had to accept were incorrect or just plain crap. I've believed things with a firm conviction that have turned out to be wrong. But what I fear more than being wrong is being one of those people who continues to insist even when the evidence is overwhelming. It becomes personal and they wont admit they were wrong, because that would mean admitting the person they've had the stoush with was right and that can be a hard thing to do. There's a fine line between pride and looking like a fool. Don't I know it

    Oh no, I think they are a fine example of early Australian architecture. It's the people who live in them that I'm not sure about

    Calling someone a bastard is a term of endearment in Australia. However if you called someone a bit of a bastard, then that's an insult.

    "pulled a post" that isn't a euphemism is it??
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
