    I've taken to writing business emails in a formal,

    almost Victorian style - the way one used to write business letters when I started work in the 80s, really.

    "We trust that the above and attached are to your approval and look forward to receiving the favour of your valued further instructions." That sort of thing.

    No one's commented on this yet. There must be some people out there scratching their heads, wondering why they're doing business with a character out of a Dickens novel.

    though the one I received off you was somewhat sullied by you using "Hiya" as the salutation.
    “Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”

    And that killer first line: "Hope your well."

    I find I do this with lawyers and accountants, but no-one else.

    I’m here. It’s Dallas. I’ve just had breakfast. Couldn’t face the grits.

    It’s fùcking cold here and I went to the Texas Book Suppository yesterday.
    Bòllocks was Oswald the only shooter imo. Going there has convinced me.

    I thopught it was hot in Texas? Bloody Americans can't make their minds up.

    Here's the thing about the killing of JFK which it has taken me a whole lifetime to realise: I don't give a fúck who shot him. IT'S NOT MY BEEF!

    believe that even a highly trained marksman could've got one into Kennedy's head from that window.

    It’s all the wrong way around, h. The window is at the front top left as you look out. He’d have been in the worst possible position to make those two shots firing right-handed as the car was going away from him, narrowing the angle all the time. And we’re expected to believe he hit him twice? Balls imo.

    Has no highly trained marksman ever been allowed to look out that window and comment?
