Hi Foxy,

As real as the bloke who once claimed on the Forum to be a millionaire Bentley owner, then recently claimed to be a "blue collar worker" Hummm. I think of him as Il Duce, bald head, chiselled jaw, arms folded, head nodding in recognition of his supreme greatness. He could be a budding Julius Caesar for all we know. Every now and then I like to rattle his cage, just to read his next post to see him go berserk.

Hi Paul,

He probably had a very domineering mother or Nona.
I suspect the women in his family were very
controlling - hence his discomfort with women
not only in position of power - but in general.

Dear Paul,

I've just found a link that may explain a great deal:

It's worth a read.

Paul, it really isn't!

Is ALTIE taking a leaf out of good old Silvio's book? Yep, me thinks that Silvio could be the roll model behind ALTRAV's problem, two peas in a pod you could say.

Good one Hassy, by any chance did you charge up San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt? July 19th 1898? Its right in your time scale.

Hi Paul,

So many things make sense now.
