So much for a holiday...

I have some possible job news, but in the tradition of not counting your eggs until they've hatched, I'm going to wait till it's all sown up before spilling the beans... What a strange language English is, who came up with daft sayings like that? And why do I feel compelled to string them all together?

Sorry for beating around the bush, but I've got to mind my P's and Q's and I don't want to be caught with my pants down, least I get the short end of the stick.
