It's practically second nature to me, in effect. However, at the end of the day, by and large, taking one thing with another so to speak as it were, he that pays the piper calls the shots; and so on your own weary heads be it ever so humble if the penny drops that you have bitten off more than you can chew. We must fight fire with fire in these dark days of wine and roses, taking solace that quitters never win fair lady nor come to the sudden realisation that the proof of the pudding is at the end of the tunnel, at the drop of a hat, for anyone with an axe to grind; and forge ahead through these troubled waters until we get to the promised land of milk and two sugars. Only then can we lay down our burden, rest on our laurels and hardly bear thinking about a tough job well done.
Or words to that effect.
Don't that beat all ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
