    Don't over think it Steve, you don't know what you can't do until you find out you can't do it, but first you have to try it.
    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

      ....and try again, until you can do it and then try and understand why you thought you couldn't do in the first place!

                  Not sure Chris, but that one is famous. It’s Tilly Shilling, one of the great engineers of her time and the inventor of ”Tilly’s orifice”. The device that stopped spitfires and hurricanes cutting out in a negative G dive. Here she is again in her other career as a motorcycle racer….

                    Chris there are many who claim to be Matron, but as you know well there is only one true one. Has the injection mark faded yet ?

                        Matron has many incarnations and she has trained up many clones. Be afraid, be very afraid. She is coming!

                              Brilliant stuff!

                              When I first introduced Matron to the masses way back in the early days of S.M. I didn't realise just what I had unleashed or what she could morph into.

                              Seeing this latest apparition made me jump to the key board and sincerely offer my head on the block for causing such distress to my buddies on here.

                                I bet she'd be a big pussycat if you complimented her bike... I'm not offering to test that theory though, I'm too busy having a panic attack behind the scanner table!
