Martin Allen finally explains what happened at City

Would it help if I posted you a packet of Bassett's liquorice Allsorts for you to eat, thus removing them from your mind?

I understand that one member of this forum thought that a sleeping pill and a laxative might have a similar effect. He has not yet reported on the result.

There is a reason why I do not use doctorates in other fields. The general public tend to think of doctors as medical experts. My experience is that Ph.ds in the 1950s and 60s used the title doctor; more recent ones do not tend to use that title.

Your comment on the armed forces is pertinent. If I was in the armed forces then I would respect military rank. Outside it is divisive and I use first names.

BM your comment on "Call me Bobby" is very 21st century. Bobby Robson was 20th century and would have grown up at a time when people used Mr and youngsters did not use adults first names.

On JBs question (is it a question or an attack?) people usually introduce themselves or are introduced. My experience with feminists is that they are usually introduced by their first name and I have worked amicably with them. .

I cannot help feeling JB that your posts have degenerated from merely wanting an explanation which I was happy to do. Either way from my point of view the thread is long past its sell by date .

Thank you to M17 for bringing in some sanity.

That was a question. I'm very sorry if you feel that there is something offensive in my questioning. I don't think you've managed to answer me previously, but as you say that point is past its sell-by so let us move on. I will admit to being surprised at the sensitivity compared to the comments toward Profondo further up the thread though.

Just the pink ones
