Dear Antiseptic,

Stop flogging the same old horse.
It's frankly boring.

Come now Lexi, surely you can do better than that? There must be someone somewhere who once said something pithy that you could use

cont'd ...

BTW: The strongest woman involved in politics
was actually not in the Labor Party but in
the Coalition - Janet Howard - the power behind
John Howard. When the Party was pressuring old
John to step down - it was Janet who told him to stay.
Which he did.

Dear Antiseptic,

Of course I could but then you
wouldn't get it. You can never
see a belt without hitting
below it.

Ah Lexi, that's the trouble when you try to pretend your belt is a halo: even fair blows land below it.

BTW, as far as I know that's an original. Feel free to quote me (with attribution, naturally, m'dear).

Antiseptic,

Nah. No halo here.
Although I've been called a Baltic Goddess -
which is probably more apt. But then you
wouldn't know of women like that.
You don't meet them in court.

As for using anything you've got to say -
Thanks for the offer - but I'll pass.
I prefer a higher level of discourse.
No offense.
