EBarnacle, I read that as "...hit it with a meat tenderiser..." and assumed you meant that one intense kind of pain would supplant the other!

A chap in our village has had a beautiful wall built along the front of his house. It's the kind I really like, traditional Norfolk flint-and-brick. It must have cost quite a lot, as it took a while to do (a skilled craftsman did it, not the chap himself) I want a wall like that, it would keep the litter out that drifts into our garden. Passing children on their way to school chuck their sweet wrappers and drinks cartons onto our front border.
