Guest Peter Foldes Posted December 21, 2008 Posted December 21, 2008 I'm pretty sure that BoaterDave first became suspicious when I said to him - "I do understand your frustrations when you lose a child". He seemed to feel that a good guy would have used words like ..... awful, dreadful, heart-rending, tragic, terrible. What's wrong with using frustrating? Maybe that's why it's a special day today - it's the birthday of Dave's deceased son. I'm sure he's also seen this item, posted in Annexcafe after he'd been banned:- "Grybeard" <grybeard76@yahoo.com> wrote in message<span style="color:blue"> > news:jde5l0GTGHA.4276@GAMERA.annex.com... > Reckon he finally figured it out?</span> <span style="color:blue"> > Sure was dense for a supposedly English gentleman...</span> "Peter Foldes" <okf122@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:u2PeUW4YJHA.1532@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...<span style="color:blue"> > Most if not all Englishmen are extremely bright but when a Englishman > is stupid then he is really stupid.
