    I've respectfully stayed clear of the ORFFA since the events of the other week. Might be wise if you did likewise.

    Thinking you meant ORFFL and not ORFFA...

    I wouldnt agree to that TiB. Just cause he is, doesnt mean we have to. This is our league. Im not steering clear of the ORFFA. And I doubt Relton will either

    Shucks ant, about time.

    But perhaps slightly misunderstood. Which is not unusual around these parts.

    "We" as in the royal 'we', i.e., me. With a generous slathering of irony. By 'likewise' of course H. meant ORFFL, but he quite out of character fumbled the sentence construction, allowing us (me, that is) to take the sentence literally. Of course I cannot stay clear of the ORFFA if I am in it. No more than you can.

    And perchance there is someone passing by this conversation who normally dwells on a higher plain they would immediately detect the paraphrasing of one Richard Wayne Penniman, sometimes known as the Georgia Peach, who, when asked by management before going on stage not to excite the audience too much, promised that he would try his bestest not to get carried away. H. will be green with envy over that little sentence construction.

    Maybe we should open a school around here. Fitzy can be Headmaster and CR the Principal.

    X, you might find this interesting, http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10805890

    It is an article about academe so it comes with a reader caveat ;)
