We have been ‘talking’ behind the bike sheds, and via private messages, and have agreed that the basis of a lot of our ‘problems’ is simply us getting hold of the wrong end of the stick, as it were. Couple this with the pressure of my ‘never-ending-tour’, the shock of Joolz becoming pregnant (despite being on the contraceptive injections) and Sam’s own problems (which I won’t disclose here) and you have the perfect climate for a fight or three.
You see, I was raised in the iron and steel business. Mum did all the ironing, and dad did all the......er...rest!

We are making a point of trying to have a better understanding of each others own particular brand of ‘dry wit’. From here on in, I will be in here wearing nothing but lightly-soiled ‘Stars & Stripes’ thong, and Sam, for his part, will be the guy in the crotchless Robin Hood costume – as a gesture of cross-culture peace offering.
I will also be hanging my neurosis and paranoia on the back of the door, with my winter coat, and have already deleted all of my own posts that refer to Sam, and I am sure he’ll do the same, when he finds time.

As an added measure, I have lengthened my annoyingly short fuse, to a full 2 inches, will be keeping the ‘safety-catch’ on my typing fingers (both of them!) and have ordered a DIY ‘Pre-Frontal Lobotomy Kit’ from EBay to erase my short-term memory, and prevent me from ‘over reacting’ to previous posts.

To finish, I also extend to Sam a public apology too, a copy of which can be viewed; without appointment, hanging above my desk between the hand-knitted “No Place like Home” and “All’s Well That Ends Well” wall plaques. There will also be a limited edition CD with the same apology, narrated in sombre tones by Richard Dimbleby, with a foreword by former ‘Bay City Rollers’ singer Les Mckeown.

Thank you for listening, and here’s to rocking good times ahead, and other similar Cliché material. :)

btw. Thamks also for the private messages, requesting that I don't actually 'take a break' from GT for a while. It's nice to have friends.
