Ee - by gum!

I treks off for a few weeks doing thingy-wotsits elsewhere, and when I get back I find that our poor Shambles is yet once more at the middle of another hell-fire controversy : a controversy of which not one bit has in any way been caused by anything he has said, done or written.

Sheesh!   Why can't you all leave the poor man alone?

Dragnabbit!   Now I shall have to call a meeting of the DKSS a.s.a.p. and get some help for our poor beleaguered champion of freedom of speech.

Don't worry Shambles, we members of the Dirty Knives Secret Society are on your side.

(er ... you couldn't possibly spare a few seconds of your extemely precious time to say a few words of encouragement to the members of the DKSS, could you, Shambles old chap?   - we are very disappointed that you never turn up to any of our secret meetings ....)
