For the record, I possibly went a bit too far with a 'daft' comment in the 'Clough!!!' thread, and I also think MS took offence at something that contained no deliberate offence whatsoever. To remind you, he tried comparing the skills of a top football player with those of a postal worker. I remarked that such a comparison was daft as footballers have much more diverse skillsets and there is more skill involved in playing at the top level than there is in postal work. I meant absolutely zero offence to postal workers - I have worked as a postie, I have friends and relatives who are in that sector too - but I publicly apologised anyway, whilst trying to explain my point as I might have misconstrued his meaning. Regardless, MY comments were misconstrued and I don't recall Malcolm acknowledging my apology or explanation, nor has there been any apology from him for saying at times that I came out with Malecowpoo.
And yes, he has been complimentary about my work but it has generally been followed by negative personal comments, like last night on the now locked thread. Last night's remarks aimed at me (and Mellor too, for some unknown reason) were more than enough to take. I'm not exactly a saint but I try to be respectful and friendly, if taking the mick more than I should occasionally
but I don't partake in this great forum to be sniped at or wound up.
