I could have chosen a private message to respond to Rick's reply to my alleged sarcastic "reply" on the 22nd to his original posting on the same day,
but since he chose to flame me in public I will reply in kind.
You may not be sure you understood my message; am certain that I do not understand yours!
Yes Rick you are quite wrong on several counts
Firstly I did not specifically reply to you per se but added what I considered to be a relevant GL orientated flashback for discussion,partly for the benefit of newbies but also let's face it because I was quite pleased with my efforts to bind together the series of wonderfully funny mock GL albums.
I had come up with the idea of "Not Songbook" in tribute to an old BBC comedy series that starred Billy Connolly's NZ born wife Pamela Stephenson and was of course designed to extract the urine from the mainstream Nine O'clock News

Next your snide reference to "a very sarcAstic British tone".
Yes I am British, and Canadian and American and proud of all three citizenships
I maintain that there was nothing in my March 22 posting that was itself sarcastic as it only repeated part of an earlier referenced thread.
If anything I was being sarcastic about my own procrastination in completing some artwork. For sure that old thread was inherently sarcastic about Gord in a most respectful way right from the moment it took off thanks to a Canadian, one Jimmy Jones with his wonderfully inventive mock Christmas album

I have now loaded some software preparatory to completing my GL Japanese CD
I'll be back
