"James Annan" wrote in message ... Well, it hasn't been yet. But it has been threatened. Interesting situation. If the person has the power to send you packing, and you really want to stay, then I'd suck it up and pony up for some mama charis. If he's just all talk, I'd continue to tell him to **** off. But just be polite about it (I'll talk it over with my wife, I need to consider my finances, ad infinitum) This is almost good advice. Never say no, say manana. "We are striving to correct the situation..." "Looking of suitable single bikes....", "Yes thank you, we are doingour best to comply..." |

Maybe the result of an unsupervised spell-check? I thought he'd explained that he had "dictionary" on the brain having had to use one to look up "recidivist". He therefore keyed it by mistake instead of "distance" but left it in because he liked it. That was my interpretation of his rambling anyway. :-) Mine too. But that bit didn't get quoted, and yes, maybe I was careless in not putting it back in.... __________________________________________________ ______________________ Louise Bremner (log at gol dot com) If you want a reply by e-mail, don't write to my Yahoo address! |

Based on personal empirical observations over the course of three visits to Japan, I'm telling you that I have seen more squeaky wheels greased than I have seen protruding nails hammered down. Ah the instant expert Thanks for the link, but the day I need the observations of some pointy-headed academic warming a chair at the international studies department of some jerkwater US university in order to form an opinion about whether the squeaky wheel getting the grease metaphor has supplanted the nail being hammered down metaphor I'll just pack up my carpetbag and be moving along. Since you've already made your mind up it I'll leave you to your quaint views. Good luck with whatever business you are doing there. He hammers down protruding bikers. Rafael Caetano |
