wasn't talking about you, Bertie..............just thinking out

Careful here..........CAREFUL!!!!!!!! :-))))))))))))))))))))

Ah, whats the difference? We all get there in the end. In fact, in

our
game it's either a mark of your abilities or your good fortune that

I've often said this myself. I think it takes a combination of the two
elements,skill and luck.

The emphasis is on skill but you need a certain amount of luck as

well.
I've had my share of good luck; a few times come to mind where for one
reason or another I apparently left at least part of the skill back in
the safety briefing :-))


Well, particularly at the beginning, luck is key. Can't plan on it
though!

What was it Vince Lombardi said? "Luck is what happens when opportunity
meets preparation" :-))
