Dear Poirot,

Don't you get it - we went on the assumption that
we're dealing with intelligent humsn beings here.
We were wrong. I now realise that the reason they
don't find the term "ape" offensive is actually
quite simple. They're probably the first in their
families born without a tail. That explains a great deal.
;-)

poirot & Lexi. Am I correct in assuming that, what you are asserting to is that if a person is not, "a Politically Correct, do-gooder, Muslim Terrorist loving, un Australian, Greenie," then they are "Apes." Is that true?

Talking of "tails." I've still got mine. ;-0

I have the feeling that you pair want to outlaw the time honoured art of sledging from any sporting event in the future in the spirit of a; Politically Correct, do-gooder, Muslim Terrorist loving, un Australian, Greenie, World.

As I said before, I can see all sport is going to be a quite affair from now on. No Cheering allowed, especially talking aloud, someone may be offended.

Everybody attending a sporting event from now on will be required to sit quietly, lest we offend the Political Correct, do-gooder, Muslim Terrorist loving, un Australian, Greenie and that may cause them to cry. Having a good time in now outlawed.

What bl00dy Planet do you people live on?

Dear jayb.,

If sitting quietly is going to bother you all that
much, well you can always return true to
form:

"Aba daba daba daba daba daba dab,"
- in your usual fashion.

Or -

"Baba daba daba daba daba daba dab."
;-)

"What bl00dy Planet do you people live on?"

The one apparently, Jayb, where you still have a tail... I bet it is a small one.

But haven't you solved the potential problems without realising it, if we amend your comment slightly?

"As I said before, I can see all sport is going to be a quite affair from now on. No Cheering allowed, especially talking aloud, someone may be offended."

They don't have to be quiet. Only allow cheering (as loud as you want). In fact make it compulsory. No-one can be offended.

Then only jeering need be disallowed and no-one can be offended.

Well done, Jayb. What a clever little monkey.

How many footballers and how many typewriters do you think it would take to reproduce a script of Hamlet?

Cheers,

Tony
