No, 'glueman', I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - you're probably not stupid enough to be a racist - that requires a degree of stupidity which even you haven't quite attained yet.

Although, come to think of it, when I think of you the word 'idiot' keeps bubbling to the surface and I keep having to suppress it (don't call him names!).

So, does ALL (note: capitals for emphasis only) of my dialogue remind you of Terence Rattigan? That's odd because I don't think I've ever seen a Terence Rattigan play. Of course, I may have seen the odd TR play on the telly and subconciously been so influenced by the script that I've slipped into that mode of expression without realising it. How amazing!

So, getting back to my original point, you've told us what you're against (sundry inventions, myths and stereotypes) but you've not told us what you're for. Unburden your soul 'adhesive one'!

That last coining was, of course, an homage to Mark Twain ... or was it Ernest Hemingway? ... F. Scott Fitzgerald? ... drat!
