I llike breasts, but I dont like wings. Does that mean I dont like Chicken?
Chicken is a package, like T21, I dislike Chicken as a package but I like bits of Chicken.
What's the problem with that?
T21 is, as I have been pointing out since last year, nothing new. There is absolutly nothing new in T21, its the same stuff, all in a new package. The individual bits all have the same merits and demerits as before. Anyone who thinks otherwise should have their vote taken off them.

I thought my anology and metaphors with T21 as a poker game was dodgy enough, but this chicken one is fantastic.
As I have watched a lot of bizzare astromony programmes from the USA on Discovery Channel with their Baseball Analogies used to explain the gravatational field of Saturn's mass on its ring stucture to the great unwashed, I would like to take the chicken concept further.
T21 is like a Bucket of KFC.
P11 wants the Breasts with Extra crispy (satisfies the most people, plenty of meat for all = Interconector, MetroNorth etc) while WestonTrack/IRN want the Zinger Chicken Sandwich (overpriced, narrow customer base, labour intensive, not very appealing and only available for a limited amount of time = WRC).
P11 on the other hand consider the Zinger chicken sandwich only good for the meat in the middle (Ennis-Athenry-Oranmore-Galway) and throw the bun and the dodgy dressing and salad into the bin (Tuam-Claremorris and Burma Road).
CIE is Pat Grace's Famous Fried Chicken (1970's undercooked and greasy Irish poor quality copy of the real thing).
