Good advice! I also think you managed to include every cliche and metaphor known to man in that reply:)

    "When all's said and done, / at the end of the day / you've got to take the bull by the horns." (My father actually heard someone say exactly that in a meeting once.)

      Funny! In dutch it is possible to talk for 20 minutes in proverbs/sayings, make perfect sense and not repeat a single one. They're also all untranslatable. For instance: He must have been hit by a windmill. Or: He has been pulled out of the clay. In English they make no sense at all.

          Amazing how many of them have made it in to modern Dutch / Flemish.

          Ah so that's what the Fleet Foxes album cover is - http://www.mtv.co.uk/files//library/images/album_covers_2008/fleet_foxes_album_500_500.jpg http://www.mtv.co.uk/files//library/images/album_covers_2008... Sorry, off topic.

    Then I don't feel rude pointing out that it should be "step into", not "step in to".
