    No it isn't, absolutely not, at least not the people who matter. Don't give him or his ignorance any power over how you feel - he's not worth it x

    This, absolutely! Somebody who will say what he said, on an actual introduction - he's not worth the dust on your boots. I was going to put it more strongly, but that will do.

    Sorry hear about your cat.

    People say such thoughtless things sometimes don't they?

    I hope you have something nice in the near future to look forward to to lift your spirits?
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Just one addition to Hairy's idea, if once you have tripped him up your stick could meet with his testicles that would be ACE.
    Nevertheless she persisted.
