So.... "the toad" is not Jim, but instead what he said or proposed.


OK, I believe here in the states it's "EATING CROW"....same difference...ok I accept the explaination...it seems that a few of us took offence at the remark even Scotty...it's a good example of what Bill..
Semi-Live -Music stated, to know where a poster lives could make the difference in how you (or we) understand the true meaning
or the post..at least we all agree to respect each other with our rights to have different opinions...Andre, it was very good of you to come to the defence of one of our members, I respect you for that, setting the
record straight....well done....
