its a JOKE. 'kin hell why does someone try to turn every little bit of banter here into an argument :evil:
Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour'

Yes, you are correct. There is no need for humour. It is inexcusable and I apologise heartily. In fact, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact and was in no way fair comment and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future. :roll:

(PS As the 2nd post in the link Stinky managed to find without much difficulty says: search button)

I'm with Sarastro here, I'm not against you AND1 as you are new here, but I think using the serch button is stressed enough on these forums, and if the questioner can't be bothered to use the search button on a common question, then the 'answerer' shouldn't really be bothered to write the answer that he or she has 100 times before.
