La Belle Du Boston, many thanks indeed - I find a turgid sense of humour, along with the famous British stiff upper lip, is sometimes the only thing that gets us through adversity.
What really has hit the biscuit is that work have called me in this morning (it is 08.53 here in Manchester when THEY KNEW I only got back from Atlanta at 04.25 this morning) - I am so annoyed I have just typed up my resignation letter - all this angst for a lousy $50k a year and no bonus

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
I have found that a stiff upper lip isn't always what is called for but I see that you found your weapon and attacked with the mighty pen ... hope they are appropriately apologetic for being such louts as to have you show your "oh so happy to be here" face..for the $50k they so generously pay you for being an indentured servant.
I do tend to be a bit anti-establishment as of late... I apprecate a battle of wits but not with unarmed men.. which always leads me to speak with the janitor rather than the vice presidents.
Best of luck

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
Yes, well um.... the resignation letter worked a little bit too well I think.....
Time to have a career change and go a make a living renting windsurfers off a Greek beach, said beach being infested by augmented female architecture

Sorry GF, just picked this up - ahem... are you suggesting that ALL men are unarmed in the wits department or just the ones you have been scrapping with??
Apologies, the lawyer in me cannot resist the sophist guile, the wit, the craft, the carefully timed final demand
Oops, lawyer? read professional dilettante instead

Dear Tiggles (reverting to previous non-acceptable nominclature)
I am suggesting... or stating if you would prefer that most men taken in the general sense of HUMAN KIND (of which I am assuming you are a member of, tigga or not ) which are in positions of power (supposed or real) are mostly blowing hot air to keep their egos, positions, or self-acceptance up to the over-inflated norm that is basic SOP.
Remind me, my dear solicitor,  , to never offer any back up to you, as its true... tiggas eat their own.
In self preservation..

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
My condolences to you, Growltigga. And on a side note, you are not really fired, are you?!?

Re: Gryphin and Growltigga Thread
GrowlTigg,
Um, er, yes, what Mephisto said.
Or did you do that to get more time to practice SEVI G? More of your guile showing through?
You better not quit this game befor I shred your ships with Plasma torpedos.
Other than that, I have seen your tallents and would hire you anyday. I don't charge much for my referances either.
Edit: PS, the Last person I remember using "Au revoir " was Richard Nixon.
