Whoops! My bad! For a minute there I got the impression Dave Drum was capable
of ordinary conversation, without a lot of childish insults thrown at one.


I was wrong. He isn't capable of much of anything beyond the `buggering' he
seems to be enthralled with! I will address no posts to him in the future, and
he can bugger himself all he likes with no interference from me.



ENJOY!
