Many a true word spoken in jest, Richo! It's nice having a seniors thread to use expressions that a lot of the youngsters have never heard of. eg. a tiger in your tank grabbing a tiger by the tail etc.

Oh how I can relate to that.

On the old M2M board I was answering some questions from a newish member and used the expression "a trap for young players"...she flared back in high dugeon that she was not that young (in her 30s I think) and that she was not playing at anything.  It took quite a bit of explaining on my part that I was not insulting her or being rude.

I though everyone understood that expression....but it did teach me never to use a throw away remark about anything for fear of being misunderstood.
