**muses** ... hmmm ... that State member today - had her eating out of my hand the moment I rocked up, looked her fair in the eyes, pointed out we were the same height and said - "Now HERE is a woman I can see eye to eye with!" ... bet she's thinking:-  "Who WAS that guy - our eyes kept meeting the whole time we were in that room.... a wave length thing ...wish I could meet HIM again!"

I didn't even know she WAS the state member until she got up to speak.... but I don't crawl to anyone anyway.... been a while since I said to the lady deputy mayor that there was no need to apologise for her position..... we all understood the failures and were happy to help her out any time...
