I'll get back to you in a while, just after I finish writing my letter of admiration to Reg Empey... Sorry, Sir Reg Empey.

I think the implication was that stovelid's posts combine sexism, excruciating cod-colloquialism, cheap unwarranted digs and imbecility.

lol.. or maybe I'm reading too far into it?

If you substitute awful puns for imbecility, it's pretty much on the money, one must admit.

Please don't tell me that Stovelid is a Sasanach after all his comments about football being "bogball"? Jesus, this is way too much of a stereotype to be true.

Is it pronounced Conn-awt?

No.

Doesn't matter though. Certainly isn't a matter of intelligence or nationality.

I wont tell you, because I don't know. Hence why I used a question mark in my post. Maybe Oisin's theory was closer.

Busted.

I wanted to call it upstart-yeoman-ball but I feared my cover would be blown.

Alas, I was clearly speaking about those individuals over 90. So that's a non sequitur.

I only indicated I am not 90. I write letters, not 90, by your equations, I am over 90.

I win, I'm the oldest person using the internet.

Alas, while Connacht is leading, the closeness of the vote suggests no real unanimity on the topic.

One can only surmise that the corrupting influence of clandestine Brit mind-waves are to blame.
