Default Say what?

Now you know good and well what I am talking about. It is the King Thing! We don't have it, and we are working on getting the popular language straightened out and dropping the phrase 'middle class', as many find it offensive. We have low income, the profoundly dependent, the middle income, and the high income.
We are indeed a strange lot. Some of the most un-educated people you will ever meet are wealthy, and those with brains call themselves 'professionals'.

Well, I didn't know what you were talking about, since I couldn't find anything in what you wrote that pertained to what I wrote!

And, I can't imagine why you decided to clutter up my topic about Bristol Cars and Toby Silverton with your unsolicited and irrelevant opinions about the English monarchy, Toby's country, and manner of life.

Surely, as an Englishman, Mr. S. is entitled to tell me what he felt was exciting news and an adventure! And, I'm entitled to include his happening as a post-script to what I intended to be an upbeat report on Bristols.

Then you crapped on it!

Thanks, for nothing.

It's amusing to look up this gentleman's first posting to find the heading "Anglophile seeking Bristol Project".

One would expect a love of all things Anglo would include its titular head of state, but obviously not.

At the risk of antagonising Our Great Founder by staying off topic, surely Claude you can love a nation without loving the head of that nation. For instance, like Americans but not like Bush (or Obama for that matter)?
