"As I am only invited to contribute and not invited to the recruitment process - my knowledge of this is limited and it would appear to be a closely guarded secret known only to a favoured few entrusted with the code. I think that it may involve the rolling-up of trouser legs and the swearing of oaths - in meetings held in Jeri's treehouse."

Maybe you are right Jeri and that it is a game.

On the other hand, do remember the sad case of ghost who was convinced that messers H&P ran a business enterprise and got angry with Mr P who had a band that weren't traditional (a fact Mr P openly admitted). She wound up in such a state where if she was to pass comment on any festival, she couldn't without informing us it was not ran by the "evil empire" or if traditional music was described, she couldn't pass comment without telling us "it's traditional - not like Mr P's band".

I fear Shambles is heading down that road. I sympathise for him but will no longer take any of his posts seriously.
