        Because most of us understand the risks - Freight Train 2014-04-04 02:20:27
        But it's Brey who has blown up in our face..... - Wolfetone 2014-04-04 09:33:31
        So there's a 50 percent success rate? * - El Kabong 2014-04-04 07:41:24
        Probably but it's better than 100% failure - Freight Train 2014-04-04 08:50:07
        That's the issue -- I don't believe it's 50-50 - El Kabong 2014-04-04 09:51:13
