    Patience Gen, Pickles has to write it first, :rotfl:

    You know that thing about a gang of monkeys on typewriters and the works of Shakespear.....:rotfl:

    'm very tempted to post this:
    It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralize the long-range effects of our national stupidity.

    But I don't want to imply that Snr Pickles is stupid as I don't think he is!

    To be honest, I don't read most postings made by most people ... I skim and am looking only for the interesting or amusing.

    And there's no way I can follow a discussion/argument across many postings by many people over many days. It's not in my skillset. So I have to deal with things on an "post by post" basis... "did this one make me laugh". I don't make notes and compare, I don't remember details.

    I think what Pickles forgot about is that the higher managers and PR people only work a normal Mon- Fri day work job so there's probably no one there at weekends able to work a keyboard or issue statements.

    So come on Jetski, spill the beanz mate, whaaas happening?:confused:

    You reckon? What do you think the distance is from Suffolk to Bungendore, NSW?!

    Anyhoo, I have much respect for pickles110564 postings for the most part. I don't agree with him usually but he writes well and isn't agressive.

    I suspect he isn't going to want a 48 hr journey to have some unintended slight out with me face to face!
