Ooh, that was easy (pun intended). No trial by combat? No mental cross-examination? No swimsuit competition?! Everything Ayriel said was wrong........and I couldn't be happier about it! Although I do have a rather dashing pair of Speedos that will to remain in the drawer. For now. I shall poke away...
