'Depends' - no then.

I can imagine a conversation between Chris 28 and a new colleague:

James: 'Hi I'm James'

Chris 28 'Hi James. Was that the name you were given at birth?!'

James 'Well erm no, it was Paul actually but I changed it by deed poll because I prefer James'

Chris 28 'Oh sorry Paul....I can't accept that. You'll be a Paul around here'.

I'll tell 'Minty' what I do when she lets me have evidence that George Osborne hates Jews.

Until then I'll just assume it is a nasty troll who likes to invent serious accusations about others.

Have I missed something? Or is that so far out of left field that its almost right field ?

Ah, so you [ido[/i remember and were just pretending that you didn't know.

That or you really are losing your memory, since it was a thread that had you frothing at the mouth in indignation.

Mind, I never said that "George Osborne hates Jews".

I said that the accusation had been made – not by me – that he changed his name as a teenager because he thought that Gideon 'sounded too Jewish for a future prime minister'. At the time you were pointed to [iPrivate Eye[/i, where this accusation was published.

And try as you might, that is not the same.

Still, it is the weekend, so a quiet s will suffice. One does wonder though if you purchased them from Coddy. He was very big in Ladies Unmentionables at one time. Alllegedly.
