I was laughing at the references to my beard. If you cannot laugh at
yourself then what hope is there?
People should lighten up a bit on here sometimes.


Ah, OK.
I thought you just found it funny because he was having a go at Dawlish.
Upon re-reading it, the beard reference was pretty good

Default Good grief.

you cant change subject headers on REAL USENET

that makes no sense to anyone using a real usenet reader.

****!

(to those with real usenet readers, "it" has resorted to changing
subject headers on google groups)

So you have a cushy life. If only you knew how widespread was
the practice of posting from work (a phenomenon of which I have ample
and contining proof even though retired) I don't think you'd have
felt the necessity to regale us with your latest musings.
Furthermore, I have a beard, though alas of higher albedo than
formerly.
What was the weather like? It was alright in Sydenham on
Tuesday night (warm, stuffy, normal, 8/8 Sc, nice for a fag outside).
Why weren't you at the Golden Lion to hear Dick Pearce, not the worst
jazz trumpet player in the world by some distance. Wossa ma ' ' er
wivvier. Cloff-eared or sunnin(k)? I dunno.

weather to speak of. Sorry)

Those people posting from work must have an extremely easy going (or
non-computer savvy) employer. Where I work, posting to newsgroups, social
network sites etc is, quite rightly in my view, not allowed at any time.
Having said that I think Paul of Dawlish is a self-employed consultant
nowadays, which is quite different.

Boring weather in Haytor again this morning, sunny, misty, warm.

much

I must have missed the funny bit.


Me too. *Actually it wasn't funny at all, it was snide and nasty, typical
right wing sociopath.


I Will encourage this stupid feud
between Lawence & Dawlish.
And it,{?} just like he encourages that Tibbs idiot.
