Well there's no use crying about this. I brought it on myself. With no internet access today till just now I wanted to get tonight's TSP comp up and running at the earliest opportunity.
In what appears to be a mistake of the most enormous magnitude, I foolishly phoned the old dear at 4pm and asked for his assistance in starting the thread, based on the fact he'd probably be at a loose end whilst everyone else in the nursing home was watching 'Countdown'.
'You're a legend' I texted him, when he told me he'd started the thread. I did, however, add a proviso: 'I may retract that statement once I've read your opening post.'
Ladies and gentlemen, I retract that statement.
A couple of legal corrections to make to your majesty's opening post....(1) I was NOT late on Sunday! I was in the office writing show scripts whilst Uncle Albert was swanning around in the makeup room for two hours. (2) I did not throw a mardy strop. I expressed a mild irritation with Tikay. No more than my usual mild irritiation with him. Or indeed anyone else's mild irritation with him.
As for the bit about me being in love with him. Well, that's true.
Good replies so far, keep 'em up please. And it's T-Minus one hour now to the TSP Classic where tonight I predict I will finish 6th! You heard me, 6th!!!!!!

"the old dear"? "Uncle albert".....
Outrageous.
"Old dear" indeed. You can't say that, I'm an institution.

No, you're IN an institution.
Burgundy Fields Retirement Home for The Utterly Deluded.
By the way, are you judging the winner of your second TSP comp tonight? I ask only because you threw an almighty wobbler the other day when I announced the winner of your show thread on TV.
"Don't you know who I am?" you minced to anyone who could be bothered to listen in the studio.
Although unfortunately, due to your advanced years, it came out as "Don't I know who I am?"

Judge it yourself. I'm officially being difficult, now.
Richard / Tikay This petty bickering has to stop. Now, remove those 2 pillows from between you and both roll over and cuddle. See ? Better already. Posted by inka2003
