I prefer my Lillet straight, though I am willing to experiment as I did several years ago when I placed in my pipe some tobacco which was bought elsewhere than the Dunhill House.

I never smoked it, mind.

sheesh! does this guy ever tire of trying to make himself sound impressive?
For what it's worth (realizing I'm tripping the rockets of my own pain by dignifying an undeserving, ungentlemanly and juvenile post)

my consistent span of direct organizational control/profit & loss responsibility ranged upwards to 400 exempt and non-exempt staff

during the last three decades of my Fortune 100 corporate career. Still think of many and their contributions. Still in touch with a few.

Long ago in Boston discovered Lillet about the same time as Aquavit.

Bottle of one or the other was usually smiling well chilled from the frig.

i don't believe you. no-one with your abysmal communication skills would be given that kind of responsibility - except through nepotism perhaps. it's easy to make big claims on the internet - all you have to do is type in the words.

so what is the story we're supposed to buy? that you were a big-shot manager, and sometime between then and now you became an idiot - is that it?

Quite conundrum. How far do lies and hypocrisy go on this site?

And how much road does the truth garner?

#1. "...it's easy to make big claims on the internet - all you have to

do is type in the words." -Blackamp. Your modus operandi isn't mine.


#2. Repetition aids learning. Repeat, "Given you raw facts. The choice

to accept or reject them is up to you." Facts are a novelty to some.


#3. "so what is the story we're supposed to buy?" There's no story to

buy, only individual RHP Member lives to appreciate, enjoy or scorn.

Shut up, gringo.

I have more class in just one side of my mustache than you have in all your genealogical tree dating back all the way back to the brothels of London.

I may do your garden or clean your toilettes, but I have 10 times more class in just one side of my mustache than your entire family dating back all the way to the brothels of London.
You tell him the straight of it, Mr Seitse. My impression for quite a long time that Mr. Cold needs to be taken down a peg or two.
