comments are often made in jest, and if you know someone reasonably well you know how to say it and what body language to use, as Cap'n B said he read the body language and made his interpretation accordingly. However I'm sure it won't bother him as in the big picture it very rarely happens! Now I put my foot in it and say I make allowances for the Irish. Thing is who is Irish and who is English? We've all got a mixture of various origins that basically we're all the same!
