Thats a bit harsh, Jeremy. <\/p>\n
Ill tell you whats harsh and I might as well deal with this now so we dont have a stand-up fight at the barbie whats harsh is you telling the meejah that it was 'quite wrong for me to say the Guy-Gibsons-dog word <\/p>\n

Oh, naff off, Dave, youre being a total <\/p>\n
