Dearest little Stevie: oh, welcome back. I began to think you had gone away, young fellow, leaving me bereft of all those good guffaws you had been affording me. But you were just off getting on with this gr8 'life' of yours. Well, enjoy. & thanks for latest lot of laughs.

But enuff awready. No more of your posts will be read by me. As I said above to that other sillibugga

"Rejoin if you like. Or not. Up to you --

but I hereby announce that no more answers will be forthcoming from me to your pathetically petty provocations."

So adieu; with best regards, natch --

~M~

Oh: nearly forgot. Happy 63-years-young in 12 days time. But no malt from me, I fear. I gave up all alcohol 12 years ago, & life really is much nicer without, so I don't propose to encourage any young person in bibulous ways. So if you have any sense, you will seize tho occasion to do likewise & celebrate the occasion with sparkling mineral water: really much nicer...

Teeheeheehee: in my dreams, you compulsive young toper you...

Now -- back once more to those Islamic Rads, yes???

Silly man. You will read my posts and you will respond. You'll probably even respond to this one. You appear to think that piling post upon brainless post of this ilk will distract from the initial sore point, which is that you called a man who is nothing of the sort antisemitic.

I might add that there is nothing compulsive about my "toping", that your alcohol withdrawal is your private affair and does not qualify you to prescribe it for me or for anyone else. I could feel the need to stoop to your level by suggesting that a couple of pints might sweeten you recent distemper, but I won't. And call "Islamic Rads" what they are, and avoid the broad brush of prejudice, eh? There are plenty of people of Islamic persuasion who are embarrassed and mortified by the the behaviour of an unrepresentative tiny minority among their number.
