Yeah, right. And just what on earth are you on about? [Edited at 2021-02-05 03:01 GMT] In his own inimitable style which has earned him quite the reputation round here, Mervyn is asking for an update, while simultaneously demonstrating his frustration at trying to help someone on this forum who doesn't bother to let us know the upshot, whys and wherefores. | | | Mervyn Henderson (X) 西班牙 Local time: 11:34 Spanish西班牙语译成English英语 + ... What exactly and Why on earth | Feb 16, 2021 |
What exactly am I so worked up about? Me, worked up? It was you that was worked up about something in the first place, remember?

If you don't want to tell us, then don't, but shout at your customer, please, or don't shout at your customer, but don't you dare shout at me in your eternal, incomprehensible rudeness. I might not be the best ethical model, but if someone listens to me on the forums, I don't end up shouting at them, because why would I? Every single post of yours, if memory serves me right, is to carp, to complain, to dig at people, to make snide remarks, but never to help, but you also feel you have licence to shout at people who were sympathetic to someone who never ever gives a helping hand to anyone else. You could say "sorry" and/or "thanks" to those people, but I think those two words stick in your craw, so better to crawl back into your cage. By this point, given your attitude, I think it's safe to say that nobody gives one single, solitary bugger what happened anyway. Thanks, Kay. ▲ Collapse | | | the necro stuff... | Feb 16, 2021 |
