hello damascus,
super job with the case..a man of many talents!
with regards poster signed rwtf..in my early days on the board i was warned re his ignorance and dirt stirring and was advised to ignore. i can only pass on that message.
i have a feeling the poor chap may be ill but shall ignore nonetheless( there are enough plastic paddies and halfwits in this country without having to suffer them worldwide)
cheers

Well hell yes- like the old 1930's ballad- "Missed the Saturday night dance, heard they crowded the floor-- awfully lonely without you, don't get around much anymore- Never heard the phrase "What's your poison, so I'll have to plead ignorance on that bon mot- Socrates perhaps- wonder if he put cream (creme) in his cup of hemlock?? If I stated that I use cream in anything I might perchance imbibe, it sure as hell wouldn't be a cup of tea-- whether Lord Earl Grey or Lord Muckingfutch either--
I am a good self, and when I put my hands to: field stripping a M-1 Garand or running a TIG build-up pass on annealed AISI 4140 with 308-16ELC filler rod, you can bet your Limey arse I know what I am doing, and do it damn well- time after time- then my hands become as the late Vladimar Horowicz when he sat down on the stool in front of the Steinway Grand in Carnegie hall- bet folding money on that- And also like your fellow Countryman, Gough Thomas, my hands are also fluent with a Winchester Model 12 pumpgun- yee olde ergonomic, perchance? I have always wanted, as the late Nash Buckingham discussed a Limey crackshot coming over with his "bespoken" pair of side-by-sides to try his skill at flighting doves- go up against a Limey on either box or columbaire pigeons in a crosswind- He can take any side-by-side he wishes, I'll take my old M12 Tournament grade 30" full solid rib that was made in 1937 and we'll have a go-care to make a wager, Laddy buck??

You are right, and I shall correct same forthwith- but at least I didn't write- "beautifuler" as a friend once said when trying to remember that great poem he wrote in 1912- What a shame, he and Rudyard Kipling's son were both KIA in the "War to end ALL Wars"-- sorry about the "doppelganger" on the quote marks, my Dell keyboard typewriter thingy must have slipped a click or two--

You have some of my brother Micks in the land of single malts? At least that's what I assumed you may have meant with the "plastic paddies"--I am from a long line of bog-trottin' Green Irish Micks, and proud of it, but I have a special place in my nefarious black heart for the Scots- as both Northern Ireland today, and Scotland years ago, suffered the tyranny of the Brits--

I shall by-pass my usual nightcap, sipped whilst watchin' David Letterman of an evening, that being either George Dickel, Ezra Brooks-- Bourbon whiskey, or if I am "in the chips" John Jamieson Irish whiskey, and sip some of your Famous grouse whisky in your stead, if I may make so bold as to do so. Sure and ye must be favorably taken to have seen I spelled your Country's finest whisky without the extraneous "e", as we have done with our sour mash Bourbon whiskies here in the Colonies.

Another fine reason why I favor the Scots-and distain the Limeys, en re: proper spelling and economy of style- The Scots are well known for their thrifty ways, and huzzahs to that- so look how much they save on label printing by eliminating the letter "e" and spelling it as "whisky"-- Now the Limeys, they add an extra letter "O" to certain words, for what good reason I do not comprehend at all. Honour instead of honor, colour instead of color, and you go sense the drift here I am sure. Ta Ta!!!
