MsDiva, as a mere novice poster I am not sure how you have managed to become so world weary and intolerant of my posts. My thread WAS  intended to be amusing and provacative, and certainly DO NOT take anything back. The idea is that the post works on more than one level, sorry if that too hard for you to follow.
What ever you think of my posts or my opinions you will not find me indulging in cheap, direct, personal abuse. I suggest you hang around alittle longer get to know folks a bit better, and what kind of problems they have, and then you might know just how tasteless the use of the word "cretin" is when directed at me.
I dont mind folks having a go at me, or dissagreeing with me, but I just dont follow the logic of complaining about a "flaming" post and responding to it with playgound level abuse.
As you may have noticed (or more likely are choosing to ignore) a number of posters who know my style well (having been around a lot longer than you) got the joke, they saw the funny side of the post. Yes I am irritated by the very recent popularity of Halloween in the U.K. and I choose to vent my spleen in an entertaining way, exposing myself as a grumpy old killjoy in the "Victor Meldrew" stlye (ask your Brit fiance who he is) so I have got one or two themes running concurrently, a bit like walking and chewing gum at the same time.
.....sigh......dont know why I bother sometimes!
