From: Jeffrey Side [log in to unmask]
<<
I see you are at your condescending best, Robin.
>>
Ah, Jeffrey, how well you know me. This acute perception suggests that your
lessons in scruting are at last bearing fruit. Well done, that man.
<<
It’s gallant of you to defend Judy in this matter but as a defence it’s
something of a damp squib, as Judy has already graciously acknowledged that
she overreacted to my comments regarding her “inscrutability”, due to her
pique at having had a bad bout of hay fever that day.
>>
No, really, you are too kind in attributing such an altruistic motive to
me -- you are quite sufficient in and of yourself to be a constant joy to
portray.
Lang may yir lum reek, as is said where I once came from.
Yours in sympathy,
Robin
Original Message:
Oh dear, Jeffrey, I *am sorry -- I hadn't realised your scrut deficiency was
so severe. Have you consulted a specialist about this? I'm told there are
quite effective treatments nowadays, and really quite discreet. No one need
ever know. Other than everyone on the various lists to which you send
multiple posts, that is.
As it is, my thoughts are with you in what must be a difficult period of
your life. I'm sure you will feel *much better when the specialists have
had their way with you. And who knows, you may even be awarded a prize of
the complete set of Janet and John Readers when you graduate.
Robin
