You need to explain to Indiana Troy that on your side of the puddle, public school means what private school does in his god-forsaken neck of the backwoods.

Only used by 'Depressed', 'Wail', and 'Torygraph' readers, and others who miss the dear old Empire, don't you know. Nothing you read will ever help you understand anything. It must either confirm your prejudices, or else be rubbish.

Constant reading does not necessarily imply any retention I am afraid. Constant repetition of the same few phrases, on the other hand, would seem to indicate an inability to remember how frequently one has used them in the immediate past.

Absolutely. Is there any chance you have mistaken him for a human being in all the time he has been posting?

Hell, no. I wouldn't think of treating an actual person like I do him. Especially one who is so obviously mentally handicapped. :laugh:
