: What about your pals TW or PT?
:
: Hey, steady on. You might end up opening old wounds here.
: AFAIK neither TW or PT would consider themselves "pals" of
PA.
: Besides, PA doesn't have any pals - well none he's
prepared to name. :P

What is really funny here is that even the Great Andre Juice
(pal and confidante of Phil) hasn't vomited forth any of his
"pearls of wisdom". Lovers tiff perhaps? ;-)

Seriously now, since Philthy has already insulted everyone
here (and elsewhere for that matter) that are likely to be
of any assistance it is amazing that he expects them to help
him now! Geeeeezzzz! His hide must be thicker than his
skull ;-)

Cheers TT


I believe Phil has been very considerate of everyone on the groups of late.
I think it is only fair that he be now given the same consideration that
everyone expects for themselves when communicating on usernet. I think
baiting should stop.
