Lex Adept Boomer Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 12,365 Isle of Man	A few more thoughts: shaky beginning, slight start, stuttering/hesitant/jerky start, slow start, five point start/handicap, extended opening, long introduction, unimpressive start, ...in the beginning (long ago, and probably in a galaxy far, far away...) (This is the moment when Cheryl comes in with the right answer and makes it seem obvious!) Last edited by Lex; 02/04/18 03:27 AM. Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
