oh and on a different but slightly associated subject; that saying about whether you see the glass half full or half empty. It doesn't make sense, it clearly hasn't been thought through. For instance if you were pouring something into the glass and stopped half way you would have half filled it so it would be half full. Yes?! But if you started with a full glass and poured half away you would have half emptied the glass, so the glass would be half empty, surely?!
When you think about it your glass can be both half full and half empty.
I don't wish to sound pedantic about this...what am I saying?! Pedant is my middle name...well actually it's my first name, I was raised in the wild by hethans who liked mythology but were too dumb to even get pandora right! (I am now re-united with my beautiful and intelligent biological family. The family by whom I was raised, after they found me in B&Q, I slaughtered for making me wear brown corduroy trousers worthy of a 1970's OU proffessor.)
