Oh for goodness' sake, Mr Morgan, get a grip. How you could read an attack on dyslexics into that is beyond me. It's mock cockney.

Ah the pleasure of seeing a man riled! Your previous article annoyed me slightly I'm very glad to have returned the pleasure.

In future I'll try and punctuate my posts to you with winks and smiley's as your grip on the art of sarcasm is comparable to that of our American friends.

Look, there's a wink there ... I'm joking ... do you see ? I suggest that you have a lie down and take two episodes of Fraser, I'm sure you'll feel better.

Bumping into Schumacher like that would be a dream come true for this Kent Schuey fan.

I read somewhere that, in the 1980s, Ayrton Senna got pulled over for speeding in Britain. The officer asked him, "who do you think you are, Nigel Mansell?"

Mr Combo, I think that is a rather unkind thing to say about Stephan.

Look there's another one!
