About ten past nine, though to be honest you should probably just buy your own clock.

Is that English tea time or the rest of the world time?? I like to keep my Calculator watch accurate??

Not too bad, Seamus. All the better for your recent foray. How's it been, old bean?

Life has been good. The sprogs are all growing nicely, number 1 son is now 30, he and Mrs JP went to Dublin and were all touristy for his bidet. Drinking Guinness and the like no less.

Both he and number two son are living with their respective domestic partners. Number 3 son and daughter one are still living at chez moi.

Frankly it seems unlikely they will ever leave. Though the wean is now deciding which University she will attend.

How goes thing with you, other than winding up the delicately nurtured online.

Inevitable turn of events since last we spoke, mate. Pseudo-divorced. You can't get divorced if you weren't married in the first place, yet you can. There's a moment of decree nisi in these things. She's now free to carry out acts of wanton obsessive compulsion uncritiqued. She recently joined St John's ambulance service. Don't get squashed in a crowd, mate.

But that was yonks ago. Now got a spastic corporate career and the kids at the weekend. I like it. Except existence is futile and all that.

Maybe you can explain something to me, do you in some way think that using two question marks rather than the more traditional one (I never use them at all as I find it too elaborate) somehow makes it more interrogative. It's just something I've always wondered about, along with multiple exclamation marks, why would anyone do that.

[chalice]

Any exclamation mark is completely unnecessary. They are stage directions, not figures of speech.

I fucking hate them. And I don't need a fucking exclamation mark to express that.

I suppose liking things makes the whole futility of existence a bit more bearable.

I have now had what can only be described as an epiphanic moment. True Story.

This is my new motto "I suppose liking things makes the whole futility of existence a bit more bearable."

Wurd.

I'm not really understanding that, given your aviator. You could be a merkin, from Canadia or Palestine.

Do any of those actually understand irony.
