It's not to be sniffed at.

The price they're asking is fantasy, half that would be a truer value.

A job in politics ... Le Dieu claimed they had spent less money in the
period that was clearly specified in a post and it was shown that this
was yet another on of his "facts" i.e. flat out wrong and you think graf
should be the politician? What a strange little world you inhabit if you
think that pointing out someone is wrong makes you LOL.

Have you ever considered taking classes in grammar and writing, JAB?

It would put you in a much stronger position to mock the intelligence of
someone else.

Just a thought.

What's that pope? For a moment there I thought you were going to answer
the question as to why your all powerful god designed a mechanism that
produced so many abortions. You do seem to have a habit of just avoiding
questions you can't answer, don't you pope?

Mocking your intelligence is oh so easy. Possibly only balders would
find it difficult to do ...

p.s. When did you decide to be a pretend Irishman. Seems a bit weird for
someone who's English don't you think?

I look forward to your normal hand waving ...
