Jolly good show. I did it for the King and Queen. I don't mind losing both legs and arms. Really I don't, not as long as the royalty and corporate officers can still have their bit of tea and a crumpet you know. Jolly good show! Cheers!

I would reply if I had any idea what "collapre" was.

LOL Russian schools.

Nice to see the black soldiers getting their badges along with everyone else.

My apology is sincere, so no more outbursts of venom, I'd love to meet you in real life, i like your tenacity, but alas, it can never be, i live in Moscow and you live far, far way in Canada...never mind, alls well that ends well,

cheerio, take care of yourself.

I treat people the way they treat me re: your quote:

"one more word from you and you'll regret the day you were born!"

That isn't aggressive?

If your apology is sincere, I'll accept it, and instead maybe the whole of the comments section is to discuss the video instead? If not, then this conversation is over as far as I'm concerned.

[mikemosocw]

why are you being so aggressive?

maybe i went a little over the top with my initial criticism about you using the word 'basically', so i apologies profusely, OK?

and i am not little, I'm quite tall for my age.

I haven't heard that expression in years, 'dick head'

[FaerieCrone]

Ooh what are you going to do about it? I'm shaking in my shoes! You started this with me - so shut your whining, you silly little boy. You shouldn't start with people if you don't want a fight. Do your worst - I'm waiting, dick head.

[mikemosocw]

what are you on about?

we are in the middle of several wars and the economy is in total collapre!
