OK, well, I truly hope you get it all sorted out in the end, Colin.

It would be nice.

If I were in your position I would have come to the conclusion that Bob knows that he should not have made the comment he did, even if it was a throw away line, but that he cannot bring himself to apologise, else he truly believes it and feels that no further comment is required.

I would treat either possibility in the same way that I treated kids that called me 4 eyes all those years ago.

We should all know by now that you should never take what people say on forums too seriously, it's not worth it.

There are more important things to life than worriying about personal comments made by people that you may not know or even meet for real.

The only time you should worry about this sort of thing is when someone you meet online from another country turns up on your doorstep with a pickaxe

You sound like you're speaking from personal experience..... Has that ever happened to you?

Erm...no

I am not "following Bob around forever", if I get a suitable reply then the matter is closed
Col

If Bob has not replied by now, it's a pretty safe bet he's not going to.
This is not intended to measure the rights and wrongs of the situation, I am simply suggesting a course of action.
That course of action is...perhaps its time to move on.

...perhaps its time to move on...

or to purchase a pickaxe...

 

[Vassago]

I loved his assistant

Which one? Didn't he have two different equally eye-appealing assistants? I never watched the show, so don't recall.

 

[Vassago]

Colin - What sort of reply from Bob would you ever determine "suitable?"

 

[TessB]

Yes. It was Natalie and Sharona.
Sharona was the original, played by Betty Schramm. She also had a part in A league of their own"

I liked both but was rather sad when Betty left.
As far as I know, they didn't really have a seamless departure.
Am I the only one who thinks Monk's late wife has been depicted by more than one actress since the beginning of the show?

I thought Sharona looked like she was stuck in a 1980s time warp, great character apart from that. Out of the two I'd say Natalie is the prettier.

Ha! I wondered that too about Trudy, but it's so rare you see her that you kind of only remember she has blonde hair. Then again, you'd think with all the photos of her he has we'd take note

Colin - What sort of reply from Bob would you ever determine "suitable?"

Well, it would be nice to get any reply. It would certainly be polite to reply. All I am asking for is for Bob to qualify his statement.

I'm disappointed, I thought Americans were always very polite - seems I got it wrong.

Col

In a way I see where you're coming from Colin, there are only two kinds of people in this world qualified to diagnose insanity, psychologists and other whack jobs

I'm pretty sure Bob's comment would have been a joke rather than a diagnosis, I don't think he's a psychologis, is he?

 

[ColinEssex]

I have no idea of Bob's involvement with either Psychology or Psychiatry.

If indeed it was a joke, then perhaps a smilie would have been indicative of his attempt at humour.

I feel sure Bob will tell me in due course.

Col

 

[oumahexi]

Of course he will.

 

[Vassago]

I'm disappointed, I thought Americans were always very polite...

I'm sure you did...

 

[ColinEssex]

I'm sure you did...

Well Elvis and Cassius Clay always called people "Sir" or "Ma'am" and US soldiers always seem to when they hold press conferences.

In films, US tourists always say "Yes Sir, aahm from Texas", or like in the Posiden Adventure the little lad calls everyone "Sir" or "Ma'am".

So it must be true.

Col

 

[Brianwarnock]

So it must be true.

Col

In my experience it is, but then I'm always polite, I wonder if that makes a difference.

Brian

Not really, because if you are not the first to speak they wouldn't know you are polite.

Obviously Americans need to turn the volume down a bit because they all seem to shout, but oddly, since 2003 they are much quieter and they all seem to be Canadians now. (as advised by their government)

I think it's funny when they ask you for directions - like to Bucking-Ham Palace or Lie-Cester Square.

Anyway, Bob still hasn't responded but we live in hope for a polite reply.
