Ever since you were 'outed' as a CBer, you've been engaged in this
damage limitation exercise which, to be quite honest, smacks of effort.
Nobody really gives a toss whether you own a CB-set or not...its your

However, at least I *can* criticise you without fear of having my door
smashed down by the police and being arrested for intimidating you. You
can also be sure that, should you criticise me, which you are equally
entitled to do, I will take it on the chin like a decent chap and not
get all stroppy about it at the local lodge.

Spoken like a gent, Poos. You're probably Jim's hero tonight.

for centuries.
