Well it certainly got yourself and the other usual suspects a little rattled.

You have a funny idea of rattled if that's what you think I was, or am. Pity far better sums up my reaction.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

You've put two too many '*'s in p***k.

You do make good sense George and I really do hope that you will have enough time left before the next General Election, given a good climate, that the 'green shoots' will mature at a steady and strong pace and not grow too fast only to become too weak to survive.0 -

I didn't mean p***k, I meant the less insulting p*****k, but if the cap fits, wear it !No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.

Because forum etiquette should prohibit personal insults, so even when they are unavoidable starring them out takes off the edge. Also I think that people who come from the Johnathan Ross school of communication skills are ******g t***s.No-one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions. He had money as well.
