Gasp!
Know the quiet place within your heart and touch the rainbow of possibility; be
alive to the gentle breeze of communication, and please stop being such a jerk.

That is really funny!
As I clicked on the thread title, I wondered why such special photo wasn't in the observation deck - and then laughed out loud when I saw this portrait of my two favourite chocolate bars. The trouble is that it has made me start fancying a Mars bar!
