Like the concept Tristan, though I'm getting tangled in that question mark.

Hi Phil,

Pleased you like the concept. Don’t know how that question mark got there. It wasn’t meant to be there. Thanks for pointing out.

Cheers,

Tristan

Hi Tristan,

SHort and pithy, with a fine last line. You might put a space after 3: i first read the opening line as Jam!

Cheers,

Firebird - I liked this. Sometimes we need a second skin in this world to remind us of our first one still there. Intriguing! Thanks for sharing Tristan. Namyh
