The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Bloke I used to work with made one, he could never manage it and when he bought it into work I tried it but just could not get the balance right.  Many people at the firm tried it during the following weeks and none were successfull.
