OK women - you've convinced me. I'll be there.

Just make sure the tucker's good and there's plenty Shiraz (and single malt for afters).

:)

Apologies to Bronwyn for the :)

:P

Apology accepted, CJ. LOL

Yes, I'd be disgusted with myself too if I was you. Fancy slipping up on something so important. And don't think a glass or three of Shiraz is any excuse!

Regarding this "coward's cloak of anonymity",

the advantage CJ has over myself, when looking "Morgan" up in the telephone directory, one finds a cast of thousands of "Morgan".

If you look up mine name, you see me and some immediate relatives.

All claims to "anonymity" by CJ is of the crass hypocrisy which attends his posts.

Because, regardless of log-on, real name or non-de-plume, CJ's "cowardly cloak" is a matter which was "certified" on the occassion of his birth.


Bronwyn "Who amongst us hasn't fantasized at some time or other about Col Rouge getting his comeuppance in spectacularly humiliating fashion. "



Nothing like a good "Comeuppance" to round off the evening...

Although, I doubt it would ever be mine....

With CJ's rough-house rhetoric, threats to throw dinners at people and school yard spirit,


Well before my "Comeuppance", we would likely hear the words of one much sought guest, Mr Oscar Wilde, duly admonishing CJ with...

“I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.”


My personal wish would be, of course, as pelican has anticipated, for the humour and goodwill of the grown ups to prevail.

This "Comeuppance" business is a fickle thing.....

"My personal wish would be, of course, as pelican has anticipated, for the humour and goodwill of the grown ups to prevail.

Well spoken, Col. I agree entirely, comeuppance can be a fickle thing and has no doubt ruined many an evening, not to mention many a good OLO discussion.

Humour and goodwill shall prevail. All I ask is that you refrain from dropping Maggie's name too often! Once or twice would be okay. Afterall I know she means a lot to you.

Look forward to seeing you there!

Spikey: << You know as well as I do that Col would be so inarticulate and out of his depth that he wouldn't get a word in - couldn't hold two thoughts together in above-average intelligent company. >>

In his last comment Col proves you right, by curiously misapplying Wilde's words. His inevitable and typical recourse to childish insult is of course due to the fact that he can't deal with "brute reason", and I imagine that he wishes dearly that someone of Wilde's intellectual calibre would "admonish" those of us who - apparently unfairly - use it in argument with him.

Somehow I don't think that his inference to be able to "stand brute force" instead would be borne out, were he to end up being festooned with his main course in response to the kinds of waspish, puerile insults that he likes to dish out from behind his coward's cloak.
