Northern Monkey.....
Your post confirms exactly what Danny suggested was the situation here. There comes a time to stifle one's self.....partner...this is one of those times. Give it a rest....go for a pint....read some Mark Twain or Churchill and learn how to offer banter that is both funny and sophisticated. Your style is neither. You just cannot take a subtle hint.
When you respond the way you do....you indict yourself with the readers....you do come across as being a very dull person with limited horizions as evidenced by your posts.
One man's opinion.....and I will post your PM's to me about the issue if you wish....just to prove my point. The one you sent previously and the one you are bound to send this time.
Deal with it!
