Ive never had any doubts about CH going at a decent pace, think he’s pretty much always done that.
I saw enough this season from him and his rivals to be pretty confident he can cope with whatever is thrown at him.you’re guessing right and playing your old tapes hoping that the only reason the new tapes sound any different is because they haven’t been put in the super duper tape deck yet.

There is no evidence to say he doesn't.
Then there must be a God.

Just not recently.
So faith in this instance is definitely not without hope.
My analogy was in respect of "absence of a negative is not a positive"
Think there's actually a passage in the bible about this. Faith and Hope
Not that I've ever read it fully.
As a bizarre coincidence, and this is completely true - a couple of nice elderly ladies with furry hats knocked on my door this morning, and when I answered they explained that they were Jehovah's witnesses. I immediately told them I was an atheist, at which point one of them asked me why ?
I said "common sense"
I told them I obviously wasn't interested and wished them peace and love and said my goodbyes. Not being sarcastic either as that's exactly what I said pretty much.
Love a bit of synchronicity.
