It's nice to know he's not dwelling on it though

Been the victim here twice old boy, firstly with a serious shoulder injury that required three seperate operations all in one day which resulted in me being off work for 9 month, and secondly off of financial times ably backed up by fil when I mistakenly put down Gateshead instead of Newcastle just like the op, the insults I received from both were not warranted, not sure if you were having a laugh, or you genuinely think I'm trolling, or maybe they're your mates and are defending them out of loyalty, you chose which it is if any, please don't think that I give a toss as it goes as I am only exercising my right of reply, if my posts have given offence then I apologise in advance, if not then I'm sure you'll appreciate my reply, btw the wink was to take away any possible thoughts of any antagonism towards any poster what might have taken offence.

Not sure why you feel the need to comment on my post anyway unless you are bored and are looking for an excuse to amuse yourself at somebody else's expense, or simply looking for an argument, either way I have no personal bitterness towards you and have no interest whatsoever in engaging in insults.

Please feel free to elaborate Wayne, as I genuinely do not recall this incident ?????

I didn't take offence at either yours or numbnuts comments as above, I merely pointed out the insults made by you two to me when I commented on the OP on this thread tongue in cheek, hence the wink, it's only been prolonged because vastman or whatever he wants to call himself now decided he'd resurrect it, incidentally if you read the underlined sentences' as a man who portrays himself as a moderate thinking person then I'm sure you'll agree how easy it was to misinterpret the city bit, although i'm not sure why you'd want to get involved and throw in an insult against me on such an insignificant point when you don't know me or had anything to do with me before, hope the explanation is satisfactory for you.

Where was the insult in my post ???

I merely pointed out that you had incorrectly read FT's post and then jokingly suggested that you may have read it whilst under the influence of alcohol...I was not having a dig at you, so apologies if it came across this way.
