Howdy Peter,
I'm glad my little entendre had the desired effect on you.
I really do think that laughter, mirth and merriment helps us a lot with the rigours of life. Personally, I find it helps a lot with frustration. Poking fun at something and sharing a joke is good for maintaining sanity through a crisis, or crises, whatever.

Well I hope there are plenty of them available (MIWC's) coz I can think of maybe a century or more who could be using such a service soon - once Baghwan has finished his little stint at the Harry Potter University.
Oh do forgive me other forumites. I have dealt out so much fodder elsewhere I am just indulging myself in a bit of banter here that may become obvious at a later date.
Peter and I are just sharing a jocular moment together. Pretend you are just looking at the clues of a cryptic crossword. Don't worry about it. Just let me go. Read something more sensible somewhere else on the thread. There's plenty of other good stuff here.
By the way, Peter, I'm not sure if you are all that familiar with the rise and fall of the so-called "orange people." Baghwan was just an appetiser.
Over here in Western Australia Baghwan was such big news because they had a major commune in our south-west. I wasn't sure how far across the globe that lunacy was spread. We copped a pounding over here - chanting, insults, glassy eyes, frolicking nude, ridiculous unintelligible gibberish, free sex - all that crap.
Of particular menace was the self-appointed "matriarch" of the sect - one Ma Sheila Silverman - who, during an interview on national television, sneered into the camera, stated that they were the new world reality, raised the middle digit and spewed forth: "if you don't like it - tough titties!"
Just to cap that off, I think she is still in jail in California, or somewhere and Baghwan has gone to that great big commune in the sky. Anyway, she was a twit and history will record her as that.
I understand you have also had a similar experience. Well, don't worry. We all come across these folk from time to time. To be insulted by such a person only makes my resolve all that much stronger. I expect you are the same.
The shipment? Heh...heh... glad it arrived in time.
Sorry, Linda, for using the forum as a private message board with Peter. It won't happen again... er, unless Peter revs me up some more. I just find this so comical. Yes, we are naughty boys! Take it out on Peter. I'm too far away to worry about... thankfully. I would fear that wet cabbage leaf that le-Bob is want to refer to from time to time.
10-6, over and out.
Gary Simpson.
