Who are these urglers?
My theory is that if people had any idea what the other urglers looked like
it would help towards less misunderstanding. I don't know why I think that, but I think I'm right. I always think I'm right. If I see someone in a pub covered in tattoos and wearing rigger boots I will address them differently from someone wearing a twinset and pearls. Here is a Marvo pic. It features neither tattoos nor pearls. http://www.backtrack.org/images/marvo.jpg I don't normally dress quite like that, I'm usually scruffy. You may guess why I am wearing whatever it is in that pic. |

Thompson writes Boggle. What if they have tattoos, rigger boots, and also twinset and pearls? I understand what you're trying to say, but speaking personally I couldn't care less what people on this group or any other look like. They could have two heads for all I care. The most important thing to me is the quality of their gardening advice and their reaction to others. Absolutely ,Sally, you have hit the nail on the head - it's the quality of their gardening advice and their reaction to others, not their nationality or their age, status or class, I'm grateful for any gardening advice, from whatever source, so long as it is accurate -- Judith Lea |

He didn't get on with the other customers. gSurprising, that. I did say I always /think/ I'm right, not that I /am/. And I always try to react appropriately to others. Please let me know if I don't. You're doing pretty well. Nice sense of humour. BTW what is boggle? And how do I get rid of this spare head? Don't you ever boggle at something? (No, it's not rude.) As for the spare head, I think a little judicious pruning could come in handy. You may of course need to resort to a chainsaw but that can be messy - not to say dangerous in the wrong handsg - see, back on gardening. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church: http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk |

I subscribe to a few technical groups. I discovered by chance once that someone who gives consistently good, mature advice was in fact under 20. It was the maturity and the quality of the advice that shone through, not his age - because I didn't know it, didn't care and what's more important (to me) _he_ didn't show it by his responses. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK bed and breakfast near Ludlow: http://www.stonybrook-ludlow.co.uk Burne-Jones/William Morris window in Shropshire church: http://www.whitton-stmarys.org.uk |
