Received worm in fine fettle, and thank you, a fine bunch indeedy.
Manners works as a poem I reckon because of the tone. The outrageous things
that one is called upon not to do. "Do not activate nuclear weapon to clear

your wife Mr Silenceofthelambs? Excellent. Should be on the syllabus of
every education course.
