Gents, can you please **** off.

If you have nothing to contribute to the discussion why join in at all?


One minute it's ok to have a joke on Usenet, the next it isn't. Make up
your mind, Rog! Your inconsistency is making you look vindictive, OM.

"Gents,can you please **** off" is just too subtle a joke for me, I
didn't get it at first. Now you point it out it is uproariously funny.
I don't know how I could have missed that!

Have you done a survey of all keys on the market? I haven't. Maybe I'll
patent the idea if no one is doing it.

Ah an ornamental morse tapper. The HK102 semi-automatic I got at
Galashiels, original box and paper work, didn't look as though it had
ever been used in anger. The settings seemed alll wrong. I've been
practicing with it for 3 weeks and keep forgetting I have to make my
own dahs. I'll never be as cool as DA.

I'm never going to buy from someone who writes compliment instead of
complement. even ironically; it is a bad influence on those unlikely
to get the joke. Which apparently includes me.
