@SYNRON,
One might have interesting and valuable discussions with oneself.
For instance- you look into the mirror in the gents on your third visit with narrowed eyes and staring yourself out and say, sneeringly, "by heck spendi you're a ******* arsehole alright."
Then you adopt a pose of pompous dignity or outraged innocence and deny the charge with emphasis.
Once you've done it you have the trick and then it's easy in the bath when you have half an hour to argue. Switching to this format is probably just as good but I would think too slow. It's all you have really to keep your ego on the ground now confession has gone by the board.
