Honestly Bonnie - this is dead interesting from an outsiders point of view.

There used to be this guy on mudcat - his handle was Divis Sweeney. Pro IRA, but helluva nice guy. He used to think I was a pacifist (which I was, compared to him!)

Anyway him and Keith usd to go at it hammer and tongues, like Keith and Jim just did.

I used to get these anguished pms and e-mails from Divis - Oh God!Keith is winding me up so-oo much! Anyway in the fullness of time Divis buggered off to spend his time more fruitfully.

I said to Keith - now look what you've done!

Keith wrote back, You got it wrong Al! Divis is my mate, we talk about all sorts of things in a very friendly way...
(This may not be precise quotations Keith - I'm just trying to give a flavour of it)

Could it be - you're misinterpreting the signs Keith - like Ralph McTell's parrot? (the parrot thinks Ralph is sending love messages when he keeps repeating words, trying to teach it to speak)

What I mean is Jim (correct me if I'm wrong) isn't sending love messages.
