OK Yeah I guess thats what he was doing, I made some of it up
actually cause I couldn't quite remember, but I have a fairly good
feel for the technique... I don't qute get you on the 'Take either
hand' part, what do u mean? Thanks for the fast reply!

Yeah I get you there, I remember him saying that, i listened a few
times & it was one of those bits he said quite mumbled, does that
help alot? It doesnt seem like very good language to use, you kinda
have to think about that more to understand it no? Or is that the
point? They try but they will be thinking 'my efforts are in vain'?
Did you mean the harder you try in vain or is it good to confuse them
with slightly off grammer?
PS did u try much of this? If so...
