Moonbird - I love you like a brother.
Not a favourite brother, obviously - more a sort of half-breed, illegitimate backstreet sprog, the fruit of my fathers' overactive loins - but a brother nonetheless.
So long as you can take it and dish it out as I can, and without being offensive to ladies - you're OK with me, my friend, and I'd buy you a drink anytime.
A small one, obviously - but a drink, nonetheless!

Epictetus: "He taught a gospel of inner freedom through self abnegation, submission to providence and the love of one's enemies (Chambers Biographical Dictionary)
Hmm.
And he has both Moonbird99 and Adman1961 as fans?
Poor old b***er must be spinning in his grave.

Does Epictetus translate into "Big Head"?

"Let truth be a maxim you employ with care; entreat your friends as you would your foes; use words, actions and displays according to the need; and confound those that would interpret your meaning and intent."
A good maxim for TPTT and this Forum, is it not?
