You might at least spell Milton Keynes correctly before you deride 60% of the associated land mass - assuming that is, that you know of anywhere else in Scotland, otherwise more like 85%. You obviously are not aware that I am from Yorkshire, a place you must fly over on your way to Edinburgh from London and without which you would not have had accurate longitude, frictionless gears, a recent poet laureate, bonfire night, and more importantly, Michael Palin and his hilarious piss taking of Yorkshire (well, Barnstonworth). I'll be sure to tell Elkie that Dennis Bartlett is a peculiarly stupid example of the inability to read the posting guidelines, wherein it asks you to at least pay passing attention to culturally sensitive issues. I didn't necessarily have the North of England in mind at the time, but I think it qualifies, given that 4 of the original jBASE programming team were from well North of Milton Bloody Keynes (did you catch that 's' this time?) and that there wasn't anyone else involved in writing it. While none of the other 3 are as Northern as myself, and are therefore classified as weak southern buggers, you have still included their semi-northern origins in your flippancy. I am sure that Pat (Derby), Greg (Bloody Nottingham) and Alan (Scouse B_____d) are suitably impressed by your eloquence and are happy that you use their programming every day of your life. Your post of course is indelibly etched into the Internet, and future historians will no doubt be surprised that the world at the time consisted of crustaceans in the south of England and the world's best bread stealers; rightly sent there from England for daring to object to the London based government keeping them in abject poverty. And we still wonder why they beat the crap out of us at ______ (fill in at your leisure and apologies in advance to my Aussie mates for not taking the time for a thorough piss taking with the usual reciprocation.) It is of course purely an accident that Douglas Adams wasn't from Yorkshire; he would have been, but he missed the bus. If he had been from Yorkshire, which he wasn't (see earlier) he would likely have told you to go stick your head in a fish. Being more polite than Mr. Adams, I will merely say that up until now, I quite liked South Africa other than the airport taxis in Jo'burgh. Now that I correctly conclude from one example that everyone from the vicinity is bloody stupid (it must have been the Bloody Dutch (c) Michael Caine [also not a Yorkshireman]), I guess I will have to say that the best thing to come out of Gonubie is highway 2 and it's a pity that Slartibartfast didn't have time for the Fjords this time around.
