Isn't Joe Meek dead?

OK Nik, I apologise for my ‘firm’ response to your previous post.

We have a difference of opinion

I’ve just done a week long course on negotiation techniques for my job (possibly a reason for my combative mood yesterday) and one of the first things you learn is that you cannot negotiate beliefs and values, only issues. I think the same could be said for debating opinions which are based on intrinsic values.

And that’s what we’re doing.

Of course I can’t help but point out that all of your examples aren’t strictly analogous to the Meek discussion. But there probably are other instances where the same thing has happened, and that would bug me too. I’m not suggesting that this is unique.

To say I’ve got a bee in my bonnet is probably fair but it’s a Saturday, it’s my girlfriends birthday and it’s unlikely that this will be on my mind as I drink beer and eat Indian food later this evening. You’re right, it’s not that big of a deal.

Have a good weekend.

I think you're great and I hope that next time I'm down south that we can go for a szummerrzet cider and I can laugh at your southern accent.

To be fair as well, I wrote some of my arguments earlier immediately AFTER a lamb dopiaza and several 4-packs of Carlspissberg. So you see we're not so different after all.

And you'd be welcome.

I'm not sure you'd be able to hack the local brews though if you're a Carlsberg drinker.

Nik,

Have you heard anything about the Eggle factory having closed down back in Aug '05? I know of numerous people who have not been able to get a response to emails and the phone apparently diverts to a "home" address. The story came from someone who worked there till the end.
