Justify your grunt

Marcus hears everything, but he has an extremely active filtering system. You know when you read or hear something and, without being moved to actually formulate a comment on it, you make a "heh" noise? Or sometimes "pfuh". Marcus, from the other side of the room, will give you a forensic look and demand "Why did you say "pfuh"? Then you have to make a long-winded explanation to him of what you thought was not-quite-actually remarkable.

But does he take it in when you tell him its TV, not a video, so we can't watch it again? No.

Big cheerios to Philip in Perth who actually left me a comment! Give it a go the rest of you, it doesnt hurt. If he can send me a comment all the way across the burning sands I think some of you could dig deep too.

I didn't leave a comment but I copied your text about Ernie & Bert and emailed it to you explaining why Ernie was better than Bert but nooooo that doesn't get a mention, good old Phil, goody two shoes Phil, good old home-brew Phil. Well I am outraged in my own calm little way and by god no ones going to hear the end of it. Unless they really want to.

Well! If I didn't have a sneaky feeling that this was good old John "pictionary champion" McGlasson I'd be tempted to be offended, or hurt or something. Then again aas a project manager I think that is no longer possible. Somehow in the training process they make a small incision and remove the emotional centre. Anyhow, more power to John for actually taking the time to respond. Come over any time for some fine home brew, there's a passable pilsener happening right now!

Hello lads. Welcome to my world. If i can facilitate pilsener-fuelled interfacing across this wide brown land my blog has done some good.

Who will ever forget Phil's old View Street Number 7?
