#2 European friends?
He should have been more accurate by saying our friends the Brits and Eastern Europeans, along with our non-hostile advesaries in the remainder of the EU.

#3 Mike, itsa diplospeak, euphemism.

For some reason, I use it too, like: "Now I am going to rearrange your face, my friend".

Maybe because of some inherent humanistic conviction that I am actually providing a service, do-gooder thing.

But of course you are, Sobiesky. You are helping a bully/idiot/fool learn something about the effect the universe has when he causes problems with his behaviour/attitude. As such, you are the tool the universe uses at that moment, and we all hope most sincerely that he will learn from this first application of effect to cause, thus becoming a better human being... and obviating the need for further applications of this most important learning. ;-)

On the other hand, you may just be being pompous and condescending.

#10 On the other hand, you may just be being pompous and condescending.

Without a justifiable cause, that would be, indeed, the case. I used that sentence perhaps thrice in my life.

#11 Thank goodness! I was so afraid I'd misjudged as a nice person all this time. ;-D

#12 That is, of course, I was so afraid I'd misjudged you as being a nice person...

So glad to know I was right about you being nice :-D

#13 TW, I admit, I can't decipher what you are trying to say. Switching to mind-reading mode.... ;-)

#14 Ha! It worked! You deciphered it for me! ;-)

I am affraid I have a switch in two positions, Mr. Nice Guy and No More Mr. Nice Guy.
Sorry. ;-)

#15 I'll try not to move the switch to No More, then. But you have to give fair warning if I do, 'cause I'm kind of oblivious to such things, unfortunately.
