A good idea, Valodra. Should I say or should I ... be quiet? Can you guess what it �s about?
You are most definitely allowed to, but you don �t have to, really. |

Well, I �m sorry, you needn �t ask me, because my Doctor says I mustn �t ... but it couldn �t do any harm, could it? It oughtn �t to be too difficult ... ought it? |

Les, if your doctor says you mustn �t, then you mustn �t, and that �s all there is to it! (Not that that has ever stopped you in the past, of course). Bruce  |

Bruce, Lol, I realise that you are a Doctor of English, a Docteur d �Allemagne, Dottore de Filosofia ... or DEAF as we say say here in the UK. But, you really must listen carefully to me! Sometimes, �NEEDS MUST �, and on this occasion, my needs definitely must, mustn �t they? Or, shouldn �t I ask that question? |

My thoughts exactly!
I said to myself - I won �t say anything! (But won �t be totally quiet, either).
I really wouldn �t. But as you say, sometimes needs must. I couldn �t have said that because I didn �t know that phrase, but I have just learned it, so now I can. I needn �t say, I suppose, it is not easy not to say anything when you are a curious person like me. So, hopefully, I won �t have to ask the question, someone else will. Or shall I? |

No, Les, I will not listen to you when you are going against doctor �s orders! Others are listening, though, so you have your audience. |

It �s been a week. Shall I ask? Nope, let someone else ask the question this time...
