We may just be keeping our own counsel for a while, Les. Beware!

That reminds me of a little story that ozziejack once told me about ozziejune ;
Not too many people would know this but June's first job was actually as a counselor at their local primary school.
Her first morning was rather quite so she decided to use some initiative & patrol the schoolyard during the liunch break so that she might get to know some of the children.
As she approached the sporting field she observed a group of boys all enjoying themselves as they kicked around a soccer ball but to her dismay she also noticed one little boy standing all by himself way down the other end of the field.
She went up to the boy, introduced herself & asked was he ok?
I'm fine thankyou Miss.
Not convinced, she continued on her patrol & returned to the sports field 10 minutes later.
Her heart sank as she saw this poor little boy still standing alone in exactly the same spot while all the other boys were having fun way down the other end of the field.
Hello again, it's me June & what is your name, are you sure everything is ok?
My name is John & yes thankyou, everything is just fine.
As she continued on her patrol all she could think of was the pained & puzzled expression on that little boys face , i just have to get him to open up to me.
5 minutes later & June returns to the sportsfield & again approaches John.
John, i know that you must be having problems so i need for you to talk to me & tell me why you have been standing here all by yourself for all this time while everybody else is having so much fun way down the other end of the field.
I'm the goalkeeper.

Some of all of the above story is of course total fiction.
