You're a real class act, Col.

To paraphrase Obama - you can dress a pig in an expensive suit, but it's still a pig.

"But there's something about fake, exploitative emotion-mongering that makes my flesh crawl. Reminds me of the worst aspects of the 60's hippie generation, where preying upon the emotional vulnerabilities of others became an international pastime."

I understand, but English is not Antonius' first language, but thank you for your rethink. I know where you are coming from - I had my own unprovoked attack on Foxy recently.

And I do get your feelings regarding hippy mawkishness - "The Young Ones" really got it right.

“I had my own unprovoked attack on Foxy recently.”

Let it go you gumboot wearing champagne sipping carrier of guilt cause from what I saw she already did and you're dragging the chain.[smile]

Col, You're poetry; I'm a little shocked, and thoroughly delighted.

And we all know you of old,

Now Rover, no more chasing cars, it only gets you excited.

Ih I love it.. especially the “guilt cause” and

Actually, somehow gumboots seem the appropriate attire when one is engaged in “chain dragging”

"Col, You're poetry; I'm a little shocked, and thoroughly delighted."

HA HA.. one of many… but that one was of the “OLO publishable” end of the scale.

There was a young plumber from Leigh
Who was plumbing a maid by the sea
Said the maid, "Cease your plumbing,
I think someone's coming"
Said the plumber (still plumbing), "It's me"

or that other old fave

A nudist resort in Benares
Let a midget in, all unawares
How the members did weep
For he just couldn't keep
His nose out of private affairs

That was too funny. Cheers.

About Foxy, not 'still dragging chain', just enjoying rubbing it in that I have no regrets over anything I dish out to Anti, Col, Houllie et al - they should be grateful I actually edit out a lot of what I'd really like to say.
