    Remember last year you have an interview to the journal, you were the star witness but they called you Michael Clinton, not trolling at all just saying. Relax Michael.

    Do you prefer using “Michael” when being a witness Mike? There’s no need to be so defensive, keep up the good work!!

    I really hate to burst your bubble gonzo but your not as anonymous as you would like to think .
    I don’t rise to trolls,I name & shame them.
    My advise to you is to very careful about your trolling.
    It is a very serious offence and quite a few have been named & shamed on here.

    “You can almost smell the sunscreen and crisp sandwiches”.

    Is the use of sunscreen common in making crisp sandwiches? I thought maybe salad cream, mustard or tomato ketchup but I’ve never tried sunscreen.
