No problems! That’s the risk an ageing Englishman takes in replying cold to a US audience.

You have a great one, you hear!!

Yochanan – Yeah, I love that Indian Navy story!

AJ – Yeah, I was a little snippy this morning. Uncalled for.

Jon – You would think he would have better things to do – like plot another terrorist attack.

Alan – Sorry. I was tired when I wrote the reply, and I guess my sarcasm detector had malfunctioned.

In reply to the boss (Wyatt Earp):

I am, in fact, shocked! Shocked and totally dumbfounded to hear you are not the great “Frontier Marshall” and my gunfighting hero!!

Of course I did not think (seriously or otherwise) that Easily Lost was fooled into thinking pretty sailor boy/girl was, in fact, Stephen Hawking!!

I was referring back to that post and expanding on the amazing cheek that this guy (or gal) should make the comparison.

Its called irony:

“Any mode of expression that calls attention to discrepancy between two levels of knowledge. The distance between what the character knows and what the reader knows.”

(From Wiki)

He/she thinks they are the greatest living theoretical physicist and one of the 64 top-achieving Commonwealth citizens (plus Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II).

We (the readers) know different!

Alan B – I am fairly certain everyone here knows who Stephen Hawking is. You can’t seriously think that Easily Lost thought that my hate club member was, in fact, Stephen Hawking, right? That is the hate club member’s yahoo page. Apparently, he fancies himself an intellectual, so he posted a photo of “himself” using Hawking.

Believe it or not, I am not the real Wyatt Earp, either. *gasp*

Sully – And yet, people in this country hate ALL police officers for the actions of a few, or hate ALL armed forces for the actions of another few. The list goes on.
