Actually, Al, I’m not the slightest bit upset.
In a funny sort of way, this is becoming vaguely amusing.

No, I haven’t been doing any ‘sleuthing’. How strange you think I might bother!
Yes! I pasted the words, (I couldn’t be ****** to type them out.) I’ve been an Iron Maiden fan for a long time. I think I’m quite a bit older than you.

Shall I let you into a secret?

During the early ‘70’s, I used to sell The Socialist Worker. (Quite a radical newspaper), one that I’m sure you think should be confined to the depths of hell. (Me, too, now. But, hey, we’re all young once!)

My Grandmother was Sylvia Pankhurst’s secretary (Ask a woman if you don’t know who she was.) and freedom of speech and thought have always been important to the women in my family.

Even worse – I own an engineering factory and some of the components I design (CVJ’s, driveshafts etc.) (not the pick and place units, fortunately) are almost certainly now winging their way to Iraq. How’s that for irony?

Anyway, this is probably, bye bye, ‘ cos, frankly, I don’t feel too comfortable here, anymore.
