"Can you place the occasion, Jim?"
I can't Mike - I can only remember that it came around the time you called someone else a Jackanapes - after which, I was willing to forgive you anything (balmy days!)
There really is no need to apologise - we all lose our rag on occasion -
and I have to say it surprised me at the time.
It's just one of those words I find difficult to cope with.
The rest, I have no problem with - as I said, I'm a great fan of 'The Merry Muses' and Wilmott's poetry.
