Or how to win friends and influence people.
The last party I went to was to pay my respects to the gentleman who sat next to me in the ground and passed away in June aged 82. The dress code was City shirts, and there wasn't really much call for my customary joviality I'm afraid. But thanks for the summation of my character from my user name. On a scale of 1 to 10, your assessment was around the -17 mark. Was I as close on my analysis of your user name?
On the vast majority of postings I read, I try to make an objective view of what is written, and try to make a humourous reply where possible, if the circumstances are appropriate. if someone, such as
@Magicpole, has a similar outlook on life as I have, there is often a frictionless dialogue, where humour is expressed. I certainly don't get "taken in" by others, I'm far too old for that game. Nevertheless, you both made some interesting points in your postings.
Carry on the good work!
