SPQR,

Give Poirot some credit for at least being a teensy bit canny.

The LNP in govt for me were entirely predictable.

Although they've surpassed even my prognostications as to their ineptness, crassness, and secretiveness.

They are an embarrassment.

But they're an entertaining one.

This is the only way I can picture you as "canny":

Not sure about the heart but, that might be overdoing it

SPQR,

You're not labouring under the misapprehension that I could actually be bothered to waste energy clicking on yer petty links - are you?

<<You're not labouring under the misapprehension that I could actually be bothered to waste energy clicking on yer petty links>>

And why ever not? you're OLO's specialist in PETTY links.

"See here, Naomi Kliens says yada yada yada ..."

"Look here, the Guardian says yada yada yada ..."

" Take a peek at what this geologist on Skeptical Scientist says yada yada yada ..."

SPQR,

Your "petty" links are in a league of their own.

My links usually pertain to the subject at hand.

Yours, on the other hand, are puerile little digs at me.

That's what you do.

When addressing moi, you rarely address the subject at hand.

You're sole object in such interaction is to attack Poirot with childish critique and petty innuendo.

It's all very well, as it exposes your lack of substance, but let's not pretend you turn up to rebuke me for anything else but that.
