There was no internet. Just 56k dial modems. Also yes.

I wonder if I should've used the perfect continuous conditional with that one.. Oh, wait, I did.

Your conditional sentence was beautifully accurate. The unfulfilled result of the action in the if-clause - expressing the result as an unfinished or continuous action - was sublime. Cool

See, I just googled that, but you seem to know your stuff, so hats off to you.

I'm just a big fan of it, if not its most capable follower.

Holy crap! Mr. Moncreiff!

So glad you're back! So sorry to hear of your divorce, but happy you're doing well now. You made such an impression on me, I always wondered where you'd gone off to.

Welcome back, sir.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I was once known to you as Mr. Moncrieff - but I am a different person now. Much more confident in who I am and not at all repentant for who I am.

You may remember that I was sacked for being a man who professed his atheism whilst working in a Catholic school.

Well now, sadly divorced, I am a Deputy Head of a state school, and loving life.

I hope to become a member who can readily contribute again.

I remember you.  Welcome back.

See, I told you if you stared long enough at them they'd eventually deign to notice you.

Thank you, so much.

The divorce is something I've finally recovered from - but it was an atrocious time.

I lost the person I thought I'd spend my life with.

There we go...life is funny, and sometimes it's a pile of crap.

It didn't have anything to do with your coming out of the confessional, did it?
