Cheers.

I think I'm going to sit this one out and not vote.

I think it's the stance - I'm leaning backwards slightly, and one leg is slightly out to the side. I don't think it's a belly issue. Having said that - I'm not sure whether the cut and hacking pockets do me any favours on the hip front. I'll try and get a perfect pose at some point and ask

Does that mean SW&D has some extra spring in their step?

Must have been polyster poisoning doing the talking. I see he has overcome his affliction and edited his post.
