Capting

Good job I never did any conveyancing, ain't it ? Apart from Intellectual Property, anything which smacked remotely of Chancery brought me out in a rash.

I repeat : if I had ever overcharged a client, or misadvised one through being remotely under the influence of alcohol, how much longer does anyone think I would have been allowed to continue in practice ?

Let's all stop vilifying the dead - especially Alex Campbell and Ewan McColl.

I posted earlier : who shall we have a go at next ?

I added the 'smiley' to indicate a joke. Went down like a bacon buttie at a Bar Mitzvah.

I think that Jim C had the rights of it in his previous post :

'Where have you ever encountered a serious debate on his singing and his ideas on singing that hasn't been choked up by the weeds of tabloidesque trivia ?'

I have never seen or heard ANY debate on Ewan McColl which has not deteriorated into the 'ethnic' jibe (which I have previously suggested now belongs in the dustbin of history) ; the 'finger in ear' jibe ; the 'what did you do in the war, Ewan' jibe.

These, it seems to me, have become as much cliches as the Clancy brothers' Arran sweaters.

Capting : I had never previously heard of John Brune. and I hope fellow 'Catters will have noticed that I will not pretend a knowledge I have not got.
