"Col":

Yes, I know he's a wind up merchant.

SO, the TRUTH COMES OUT!:-o :-( :-(

Oh but you *are* a wind up merchant.
I know it, you know it, everybody else knows it.

:-(

The "alliance" is INDEED over.

Remember why I am doing this. Because Tom Presutti, Gavin Partridge,
and others, all COLLECTIVELY flushed my youth DOWN THE TOILET in
2002!!:-o :-( :-(

But you're funny

Half a billion dead is NO laughing matter, "Colin".:-o :-(

The alliance IS now over, "Colonel".

Colonel?
Nope, just plain old 'Colin'

Okay, fine then, "Colin".

I just for some reason assumed that it would be short for "Colonel",
that's all.
