Can you tell me if you are being serious or not
Yes! I thought that was clear when I said;
This is a serious question.
But the mirroring nature of your reply suggests that the answer to my original question is -
no, you were not being serious.
If that is so, then the inference must be that I am a
nincompoop, an
arse and possibly even a
needleblip for asking the question in the first place, in which case I must go and warn the neighbours immediately, apologising, before I do, for any chance ripples that may have been sent scurrying across your golden pond.
