I don’t know what kind of self-important fucknozzle you have to be to consider your personal correspondence worthy of interest to site visitors, but it turns out I’m one of them:

re “Still looks like complete pants on Windows, but no surprises there.” (April 8 post)

Isn’t this proof of your excellently muddled citizenship? I mean, to use “pants” at all reveals a man who knows his Amis (and not just his amis), a Londoner at heart; and the addition of “complete” is Canadian through and through; but to say something looks “like” pants is pure American, surely. Proper Ye Olde English usage is simply “looks pants”, no?

Good to have you back – and very glad last summer is gone.

Best wishes to you and Gail.
