Reminds me of my first day at secondary school. History class with a deranged 70 year old Irish nun. Her opening line was "Now, I never give an A because people who get an A get big headed so the highest mark I give is a B. So if you get a B it's really an A."

And you got lots of Bs and still became big headed?

No need for what, Raven? Humour? Bullying? What?

No just personal insults. I know ypu and Billie aren't the best of mates but that did seem a little antagonistic to me

Never an opportunity missed, Belton, it seems. Let's not get personal.

Quite right, Rob. I try to never miss an opportunity to be humorous.

Anyway, Billy has, ahem, blocked me, so he will be neither humoured or antagonised by my comment. I’m more worried about a nun being called deranged because she never gave him an A.
Actually, that explains a lot.

That’s humour again - just to clarify.
