Not like the rest at all ?

Gosh, that's just the kind of thing the departed scottycelt would have said... uncanny! sometimes you feel you're somehow in his presence.

No - that scottycelt was someone one enjoyed engaging in religious belief arguments; this one has gone down in the world.

Mon Dieu! - you mean that there are two of them???...

Or, equally possibly, as I replied to a lady who asked if we had ever met before, "I think you may be confusing me with my unfortunate double".

Both Catholics though, aren't they?

[Serial_Apologist]

Both Catholics though, aren't they?

I would think so, though if correct, the latest model did throw us off the scent by expressing sympathies with the late Ian Paisley in an earlier thread.

[ahinton]

Both Catholics though, aren't they?

Well, they're hardly alone in that!

[Flosshilde]

Both Catholics though, aren't they?

And both from Glasgow, and both live (or have lived in) Manchester.

Golly - they could almost be the same person.

...the latest model did throw us off the scent by expressing sympathies with the late Ian Paisley in an earlier thread.

It wasn't sympathies exactly, rather a recognition that the old brute had mellowed somewhat as he aged. I feel the earlier model might have agreed.

For all his faults, Paisley was always sound on gay marriage, after all.

Now that's strange ...

I used to firmly believe that Richard Barrett's greatest fan is himself but I've long discovered that accolade almost certainly belongs to ahinton.

Uncanny indeed! ... :laugh:

Unlike S_A's gross "misunderstanding" your first sentence is a wholly accurate reflection of my previously stated view on the matter, I can reliably confirm.

As for your second I feel I cannot possibly comment ...

If being so wrong on two out of two counts at once is "uncanny", then so be it.

It would seem that all this P. G. Tipps is bad for your constitution, psychologically as well as physically and it evidently dulls your perceptions and powers of reasoning considerably; you would do yourself a favour by dropping it in favour of proper tea (and, although Richard might not necessarily be the first to tell you this, proper tea is not theft). Indeed, why not start with some fine Scottish tea (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...ntral-26955938) from the admittedly rather unfortunately named Wee Tea Company in Perthshire? OK, it cannot hope to hold a candle to fine Welsh whisky, but the company name at least suggests that it possesses effective diuretic properties...

Mr Pee's favourite if I recall?

If mr Tipps had been at HCMF last week he would have encountered many folks in the Merrie England tea shops talking in hushed voices about Mr Barrett :WINK:

And even he's not that keen.

But now that you're the centre of attention you can reclaim the accolade.

Is that a type of 'energy' drink?
