Why thank you.

ChrisGaff1000 , no way round it I like the persona I have seen from you here.
Fail to understand, or even try, to see what drove that last comment.
See we nearly know one another here.
We say [apparently this irks you, what we think].
And yes even our worst combatants, say me and Rechtub, could enjoy each others company.
Paul is a mate, and if he promised not to call me comrade, I would let him buy me a beer.
SM has a valid point, us here in the basement, the forum, are well behaved in comparison with many other sites.
Do you believe in free speech? or should we line up north Korea style chanting the party,s mindless line and dressed one like the other.
Look at any time of the day, at those active here.
You will find we are so very different and just maybe that is what brings us.
As you past job saw you learn some things, it too may have seen you change, it can be seen in some Police, a local member of Parliament 20 years ago was shocked as he drove past us at a fatal smash.
Not by the death and trauma, but by the young Cop, running towards him.
*Shouting stop that scumbag*
He is on the Mobile phone.
That National party member was indeed on his phone.
A road smash had killed his wife,he after stopping told us he was ringing the roads Minister, to demand a fix for that death spot.
He has passed on no friend but respected, a man who was far from a scum bag.
