Well, he can't make his mind up whether he is a steer or a pike.
He has no chance of posting to the correct group IMO.

Still think its "Mike" from Isle of White(Wight) and
wearing his boyfriends underwear.

FYI Steerpike was the hero of a novel by Mervyn Peake..........but I
guess you probably arent that familiar with literature though?


You're not exactly 'au fait' with the two books of Mervyn Peak (Titus Groan
and GormenGhast) yourself are you Christopher Stevens?

As Steerpike really wasn't a hero - more of an anti-hero really, and a
bloody irritating antagonist (and I can see why he's *YOUR* hero *eg* )

Just out of interest, have you really read those two books? - It would
appear that you haven't (or if you have, you've misinterpreted the role of
Steerpike). vbg

Yep, still keeping an eye out for you Chris - and not surprised to find you
still up to your (rather lame) old tricks of muck-raking, misinformation and
blatant lying.
