Yeah, OK, Liz

Point taken.  I forget that there are new people joining all the time, plus
lots of "lurkers" who haven't got big mouths like me that open all the time.
I guess, being a confirmed helmet-wearer, that I just get annoyed with the
intractability of some of the pro-choice camp.  Flame away pro-choicers I'm
feeling invincible today.
I've had two serious falls in my life where not wearing a helmet would have
had me being measured for my coffin so I don't need any persuading.  Going
out without my helmet is a bit for me like going out without any knickers.

Yeah, laugh away guys, but thats what it feels like.
