Sorry Cashy.......I couldn't think of any other way to put it.......except perhaps he doesn't know me too well.

Oh it wasn't unnoticed, but like your version of common sense it came across lacking anything worthwhile.

Took you long enough, to think up a reply, though I didn't think your other reply was of the standard put out by someone with the average IQ of a terrier, I couldn't, wouldn't have found it harmful.
How harmful can a terrier with no (metaphorical) teeth be?

Not very humorous is he; I have fish who could do better than him ... I think the age of the intelligent insult has gone the way of the penny dab. Why not something like: "Hey Less, there's a train leaving in half an hour; be under it." And that's only a spare of the moment insult ...

Oh, and before you go; it's your round

I may have been referring to a toy train

Oh, I was aware of that. I just happen to believe that ripostes should be a tad more clever. Admittedly, mine wasn't all that brilliant. It sounded better when one of my exes said it ... altho' I think it was a bus she wanted me under, not a train

England is the home of the witty application of language to insult. My fav is one of Dr. Johnson's:

Dr. Johnson was careless of his dress, and one evening he arrived at a party with his clothes in disarray. His aristocratic hostess said, "Dr. Johnson, your penis is sticking out!" The good Dr. responded, "Madam, you flatter yourself; it is hanging out."

I always liked the Churchill one when Lady Astor said' You, sir, are drunk'.
Churchill replied ' Yes, madam, I am drunk but in the morning I shall be sober and you will still be ugly.'

Come on ChrisSJ, must try harder before you can compete with Less.

I always thought it was Bessie Braddock that he made that comment to - she had the physique of a shot putter and the face of a bulldog licking pee off a thistle...anyway - you'd want her in your gang.

Actually, Margaret, after I posted I wondered if I'd got the wording right so I 'googled' it( I'm learning!) and it looks like variations of that quote started long before Churchill!
So perhaps he never said it or perhaps he just re-processed it?
Would even he dare say that to Bessie Braddock? Famous last words!
