you mean we agree on something !! ?? are you drunk ??

[Strix]

Now, look here, Mrs
I don't know what time you stay up to, still swigging Kiwi White or when you start on the vino collapso in the morning but I can assure you that a) It is many decades since I stayed up long enough to be drunk at 6 a.m. and b) I have never ever started drinking that early in the day!
So less of the pots and kettles !!!
