Backwoodsman. You really must stop looking over yer shoulder. . You said it yourself. You don't go around shouting Ian Mather at the slightest provocation. Plus you exist in the real world so winding up or serious comment on Mudcat.org doesn't apply. The list of those who take great delight in making out Musket and Ian Mather are joined at the hip include Saint Michael, heart full Keith, Akenhateon and Jerk the Sea Cadet.

None of them exist in real life and neither does Musket.

Must admit, Musket is fascinated with the bitterness towards celebrity shown by many on this and other threads and to be fair, Ian can't see the fascination either.

An articulate celebrity points out the dangers of political apathy and all of a sudden everybody proves him right by rattling on about randy goths and well known granddads.

Fascinating.

The odd prod, as you rightly point out, helps keep the coals glowing. ..... As to my private life. Don't believe everything you read on the Internet. Just because this site is hosted in The USofA, irony is allowed. ......

Mind you, wasted on most. Earnest discussion is something for The White Bear on a Friday night. You get Ian's views, assuming anyone could ever be interested in them. You won't get NHS views though. I make a point of listening to the views and experience of others. I give information on these threads but never ever views. You'd have to read old copies of HSJ or BMJ to see when I was spouting out opinions.

So... Can we get this absurd debate back to Paxman versus yoof?
