What was I thinking, "David Blame him, not me" is not polite is it. That was poor. I'll just stick with the Richard Courtesy if I may.

― Owen, Friday, 3 February 2006 18:15 (twenty years ago)

I can only think of Richard Courtesy.

― Owen, Friday, 3 February 2006 18:21 (twenty years ago)

David Blame Me, as in David Bellamy, then you can add "not him", then that way you're being polite.

I applaud the way you rompingly disbudded Worship That? Never!'s insult with a clanger!

― Nige, Saturday, 4 February 2006 11:33 (twenty years ago)

Those insulting words will die and peel away from this thread's abatvoix, and people will still be doctoring well knowns' names in ten years time, Nige.

Only in the sense that a porpoise is the poor man's dolphin, and I love porpoises more in many ways than one.

― Owen, Saturday, 4 February 2006 12:34 (twenty years ago)

And you are the poor man's me;
The lady-in-waiting let Rolf in
To paint a portarait of the quee
