A pint, when Leanne already has the excuse of sipping a wee dram 'there's too much water in it already' because of Burns month! You risk depriving children of a mother, and the site of a valued meber---- if she is not completely out of it already...She is very suggestive, you know.....
as an admin and thread policeman, i have no problem with a poem being used in discussion, all i'd like as a non thread police is that the pint it's trying to show is clearly mentioned. and as a thread policeperson i'm okay with it going slightly off topic. just as long as someone brings it back on course.
back on topic, the wow factor. i can get the fish thing i've seen giant rays and sharks behind glass but for me that as an example is the opposite of the wow factor. the wow factor for me isn't or should i say, has little to with it being encapsulated. it an outside experience (which i know is what you said) yet often the fish tank often shows the wow factor for years and years.
