Courage is not the absense of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

And the 2 0 1 2 also forms an athlete about to move (semi-starting block position).

It's interesting - and the colour pink is very Diana-ish.  Gentle reminders everywhere.  Plus the British Empire was always pinkish-red in our atlases, and the yellow maybe represents the sun never setting on the Empire.

Keep looking folks - you'll find the deeper meanings!!

I usually get annoyed about threads about 'Brits' (the ones about us all being hooligans with bad teeth who can't cook  asasasasas) but I'm with you all the way here.  The main problem with the UK right now is that there are far too many overpaid 'experts' who somehow wrangle their way into positions where they can produce junk like this and get paid a fortune for it.  llllllllll llllllllll llllllllll llllllllll
