I take it you are not an erk, not related to one and/or you don't read the
Daily Mail ;-)

Kindest regards

Now then Mike, we're not all Daily Mail readers. So please put us out

With great respect, if you are not an erk it doesn't apply does it?

I beseech you - ignore him. He will do *anything* to get attention and
this could go on for weeks, believe me.


Already decided that now for this thread. Nothing against him but I
notice from other threads that he seems to be the only person round
here who has not read his own sig file and seems to have a persecution
complex. Still, not to worry, he's off on a three month trip somewhere
starting in January if memory serves.



Is he? Where's he going?

Mike

I don't know Mike, You tell me? You posted as below on 15 December.
The thread was "Blue Tits nesting ....." You've since changed your sig
file of courser but still don't seem to have read it!

Oh, the miracles of search engines, the phrase "three month" and about
2 seconds!

Jake

"Thanks for that. I did wonder if they were 'practising' with the
going from
bush to bush to tree etc.

When do they actually start building? I will be away for three months
from
January so won't be able to observe.

Mike

What part of ""When do they actually start building? I will be away for
three months from January so won't be able to observe"".do you not
understand?

The nesting habit of Blue Tits or the fact that I will not be observing them
for 3 months?

Please don't hesitate to come back to me so I can enlighten your good self
:-))

A tip. "Read what I wrote, not what you THINK I wrote" You are not the only
one to read into my postings what wasn't written. A good while back it was
announced that I was the President of the Royal Air Forces Associations!!!!
No. I served in the Senior Service :-))

Kindest POSSIBLE regards


Mike

Uuuuh!

None of it. Every word is straightforward and easy to understand.

I didn't write "I will be away for three months from January".

YOU DID!

I read what you wrote! Simples.

Don't bother to reply unless it's to say you didn't mean what you
wrote. Or maybe to say that "I will be away" really means "I will be
sitting here in my home, not going away anywhere."

I can see where others are coming from now.

A tip "Read what you wrote, not what you want us to THINK you wrote".

Cheers

Jake
