Interesting. I remember going straight and being a bit concerned but not 21 concerned (I usually swear a lot more on 21s). Maybe it was the mindset of 'it's only an 18' that got me through it :-)

Thinking about it now... comparing it to two other 21 corrections (Starman and Friendly Fire) they are all probably about the same... soft 21s all three.

oh - thank you Simon for downgrading Friendly Fire...
