Eddie, dont get carried away, I supported you in your accusations about FA, nothing more.

TBH Martin, I really could not care less. Several on here have "blocked" me as I am very much seen as the pantomime villian of the piece. Which I am not.

It's a forum. We all need to contribute to it fully.

Even an impassive, half-ar$ed vbfg offering is preferable to the vast majority of other posts on here.

There would have been considerably fewer if you hadn't deleted the JVT thread and set in motion our fall from grace.

The superintendent, known to his colleagues as "Shameful Bob", was tentatively poking a live plug socket with a fork, when his luxurious beard began emitting Liquorice vapour.

Which is probably true in an academic / formal writing context, but not here where posts are generally much shorter and there's not too much to take in. That said, the "top" score is 129. I'm not going to say who that is. I daren't even look at it. About 10% score above 30.
