Thanks Tatsy,
I'm learning heaps from the posts here and I'll certainly ask any questions I have here.
My only question at the moment is that the image of a deprived Beast, even though I know it will kill me, still brings out some sympathy in me, so I can't have the kick-ass attitude I need. Perhaps it's the Fudge effect!So I'm thinking of handling that by using the term IT instead. Does that seem OK to you?
