          Hey hey hey - before you go stating what I do or do not mean, get your damned facts straight, mate. :mad: I have never stated nor posessed the views you are dictating for me, and do not appreciate you doing so. Either appologise or remove your post. If you want to start a character degradation, then you've picked the right guy, but be prepared for a lack of sleep for many days. ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "DON'T MOVE!

          Lets have others comment on it. I believe that you meant what you inferred and are now embarrased. I bet that others will read your orginal post the same way I have. If they don't, then I appologise, but if everyone agrees that you meant it that way, I retract my appology. I :love: Microsoft and :bob:

Martin Marvinski wrote: I believe that you meant what you inferred and are now embarrased Well I am telling you (and have done all of seven times now) that it was not. Even so, you have no right whatsoever to state that that was what I meant. By all means say you think that was what I meant (free speech and all), but do not make the mistake of assuming you are automatically right and quote it as fact. Martin Marvinski wrote: I bet that others will read your orginal post the same way I have Of course they will, but you did not state how many "others".

                              Can you get chamomile tea in Brazil? It's quite tasty and very relaxing, without the diuretic properties of my usual sedative (Budweiser).

                                I used to think too much when I was going to sleep. I'd find myself lying there thinking about everything and nothing all at the same time. I would toss and turn until the wee morning hours. I find that if I veg out, completely relax, and clear my mind of everything, I never have any problems falling alseep. So relax, don't think about anything (don't even think about not thinking about anything), and enjoy your rest. :) Works for me. I can only hope it works for you. Jon Sagara What about :bob:?

I did not find anything derogatory to anyone or anything in what David said in his original post. The first derogatory statement in your exchange with David was made by you, Martin: Martin Marvinski wrote: Just because England is a backwards country doesn't excuse you from posting such chauvinistic rhetoric online. I live in US, but I've come here from Russia and I know first hand how it feels when someone who knows nothing about your country throwing insulting statements like that at you. "You Russians...", "You Brits...", "You --insert any country, nationality, religion--..." I find your statement about England to be ignorant and insulting. And it is your apology to David that is due as far as I concern.

                                      Martin, although I enjoy your openly anti-English sentiments, I will have to agree with the others. Your critique of David's comments are way out of line. "Thank you, thank you very much" Elvis.

If you could bottle that, I'm sure you'd be the worlds most popular person. And for all the best reasons. :) Any hints on how you manage to achieve such a blissfull sounding state of mind :confused:
