    Yeah, I think the mentor/guru etc. can only bring out what you already have.

    Did you see what MU got today? Three good results for City. Four nil up after twenty mins, could have been nine nil at half time. Spurs took a dive at Sunderland and City go 4th.

    Thanks Andy; I watched the Chelsea and Sunderland games - didn't see utd or Spurs...
    Then I watched City - think I fell asleep at half time cos I woke up dreaming they were 5-0 up!!!

    This is clever. It reads like nothing much until you read it again and think it over. Perhaps that makes you the mentor!

    Thanks Ann; You did that for yourself, that's all mentors encourage us to do. Do we really need them?
