eric,

I can assure you I'm perfectly calm as it is.


.....and what is your fixation with male genitalia?


No fixation at all. What's your fixation with full stops?

I forgot to include the explanatory witty reposte at the end of that post. I
won't bother to include it now, as it was far, far too witty to remember.


please!


Thankyou!

Non-BMW branded Minis, anyone?

erik.


I don't know how to reply, you make no sense.

Because you end with a question. That means you have no answers.

To you it might mean I have no answers; to me it means it's a rhetorical
question.

rhetorical
adj: concerned with effect or style of writing and speaking; "a rhetorical
question is one asked solely to produce an effect (especially to make an
assertion) rather than to elicit a reply"

top post? you mean like this LOL, thats actually how I preffer it....

rather be thought a predjudiced fool that be one LOL...

and Im well aware that this NG was started by an American, in fact we've
meet a couple of times....nice bloke is Rocky, as are some of the members of
the Detroit club, a few from down Florida way, and I meet a really nice
Texan on my grand tour of the US & Canada...which I did in my Rover Cooper S
Works during the Spring of 2001.

if you read my thread from several posts above you'd have followed that
theres Yanks and theres Americans....same as theres Englishmen and Poms.....

but at the end of the day your opinion means squat to me, and as far as I'm
concerned thats all that matters this side of my keyboard

nothing Knee Jerk about it. Its a personal opinion, and last time I looked
they were still allowed.

If you want to sound like a prejudiced fool, that's up to you. Some of
the greatest Mini enthusiasts - including the founder of the this
newsgroup - are from the US of A.

Line length? Busines cards? sorry all greek to me. You only gets what the
machine gives.

Well, you appear to have sorted the problems, don't you? All you have
to do now is learn not to top-post.

actually its not strictly speaking a bird, it does share many common traits
to the Avian species, but then its also warm blooded like a mammal.....

Turkeys how ever are not flightless, but they do have a name often borrowed
to use to describe certain mammals
