Please Remember

And to think all this started a week ago over a knob. Beats the war of Jenkin's Ear into a cocked hat (if you don't mind the metaphor).

Wonder if it will go on as long?

The War of Jenkins' Ear was a conflict between Great Britain and Spain that lasted from 1739 to 1748, with major operations largely ended by 1742. Its unusual name, coined by Thomas Carlyle in 1858, refers to an ear severed from Robert Jenkins, captain of a British merchant ship. The severed ear was subsequently exhibited before Parliament. The tale of the ear's separation from Jenkins, following the boarding of his vessel by Spanish coast guards in 1731, provided the impetus to war against the Spanish Empire.

I believe, (though am willing to be shot down because I'm working from memory), that Jenkins was a liar and it was later rumored that his ear was removed when he was a pirate, but our Government had been looking for an excuse to go to war, so they did, (nothing new there then).
 
I think your's and another's view seems to be 'I can put forward my view without reading what went on before, I won't read their stuff why should I? They should pay attention to anything I say however'.

As for being a know it all as your posts have proved, that is something I would never accuse you of.
:D

It was Houseboy who said he hadn't the time to read previous posts of a thread he contributed to.

They are like Ant and deck difficult to tell apart, one merges into the other, I'm sure he's posted something similar if not I apologise for him not posting that he doesn't read threads but I won't apologise for the way he answers posts within them.
:D

i can apologise myself for the way i post threads, as i have done in the past, if you would like to draw my attention to any posts that you believe warrant an apology, and i will certainly re read, and if an apology is due, it shall be so!
 
does the link work for anyone else?

I don't know, I haven't asked them, should I do it in the form of a poll?

Does the link work for you?
Yes.
No.
Don't know.
Don't care I've read this carp before.
Wouldn't read this carp but will insist you pay attention to anything I say.
