Very nice....I must admit all I got was criticism when I put my rides up and it put me right off.

Nope I can't see any point in arguing with lee.
Hi Lee!
You seem to be getting a little het up. Let me try and explain a few things so we can all be best friends again.
First the easy bit. My little 'No' to col's question was meant for comic effect. You see, my previous post was long and rambling and col had asked me if I was going to give another long answer. By answering 'No', I was turning down his request in a way that turned down his request. Its really quite clever if you think about it. But, if it didn't make you laugh, I guess I've got to work on the routine (memo to self - rent Chubby Brown DVD).
Now to the meat. I too had my doubts about the cartoon. Originally, I was going to make the same point about self-awareness by telling you about one of my favourite books, "The Fall", by Albert Camus. Camus was an existentialist writer, but he wasn't up himself in the same way that that windbag Sartre was. Camus was also a pretty decent goalkeeper. He died in a car crash while being given a lift by his publisher. That just proves your point Lee, that crashes happen to other people.
Anyway, 'The Fall' is about this hotshot Parisian lawyer who's rich, handsome, has a string of pretty mistresses and is an all round alpha male. A few things happen that begin to puncture his self-satisfied world, culminating in an evening when he fails to stop a young girl committing suicide by jumping off a bridge. After this, it all goes wrong. He starts to get pi$$ed up, sleep with wh0res, upset his friends and generally go off the rails. After a lot of pfaffing, he ends up in a Dutch bar providing legal advice for theives, gangsters and murderers.
The book is written in the first-person, as the lawyer describes all this to a visitor. The point is that, as the lawyer describes his own hypocrisy, foolishness and idiocy, he gradually turns the argument around and accuses all humanity of the same vices.
Pfew! You can see why chose the cartoon instead, can't you! And the moral of the tale - in the same way that you've decided to wind people up in the past, I thought I'd have a go at winding you up. But hey, its only fishing, which isn't trolling, and I've only done it the once. Isn't that right Lee?
Now, because I'm self-aware, I know that I'm being an idiot and I also know I'm pushing my luck with the mods. So I'm going to do the sensible thing, something I've never done before (because I'm an idiot) and add you and col to my ignore list.
Bye.
