    '... But let the crusades rage on in the background,' writes Matt.
    '... lists are half topic, half people, and one ought to be able
    to get to know the people apart from the topic ...'

    Years ago now, even before we had looked into each other's
    eyes & exchanged manly handshakes, Matt endeared himself
    to me by pointing out that off-topic posts are usually more
    entertaining than the dutifully Salinger-tied ones.

    Are we REALLY the only two delinquents around here
    whose heartbeats rise pleasurably at the prospect of a good,
    honest punch up? And Matt probably doesn't even know
    where to find Sauchiehall Street.

    I thought the Rovira-Dougal bout was beginning to rival
    the Louis-Schmelling fight & am truly disappointed to see
    it cut short.

    (You must remember, incidentally, that Tim works in
    one of the back wards where they house the chronic
    psychotics. Like everyone working in that environment
    he's never really happy unless carrying a big 100ml syringe
    filled with chlorpromazine. Most of my patients, on the
    other hand, are over-controlled, tight-assed obsessionals
    who need to be reassured that getting angry will not
    precipitate the end of the world.)
