Went and looked at a few houses that were for sale. They were 142, 143, and 144 on the long list of houses we have looked at since we made the decision to buy here in London. Was explaining this to a good friend who espoused the following analogy.
A hunter goes looking for a bear deep in the woods and comes across a picnic ground, complete with picnic table and bench. To his delight a large bear is rummaging through the remains of a family picnic.
Raising his .22 to his shoulder he takes careful aim and pulls the trigger. The is a loud bang and once the smoke has cleared he looks down to where the bear was and sees nothing. Fustrated he walks down to the picnic table to look for the bear. Suddenly there is a tap on his shoulder and as he turns he realises it is the bear who then grabs him by the collar of his shirt, bends him over the table and violently sexually violates him.
Left battered and brusisd the hunter stumbles home to consider his revenge.
The following week the hunter returns with an ever bigger gun, a .308.
Again he is delighted to see the same bear rummaging through the rubbish at the same picnic ground. Again he takes aim and pulls the trigger and again once the smoke has cleared the bear has disappeared. Infuriated the hunter runs down to the picnic ground and again there is a tap on his shoulder and again he is sexually abused by the bear in an indescribable manner.
The following week the hunter returns , but this time with a military issue Chey Tac M200 with which he has no doubt he will be able to fell the bear.
Again he sees the bear in the same spot and so takes aim, pulls the trigger. As the smokes clears there is no sight of the bear. Wrought with angst and pain and anger the hunter runs down to the picnic ground where yet again there is a tap on his shoulder.
This time however the bear stands there and says
'' Hey come on , let's be honest with each other, you're not really here for the hunting are you ? ''
