It's an easy little game. I take ten seconds to slap McFleitman, he
takes three days to whine and moan about it, then I start the cycle
again.
When I get bored with him I do the same to Phuxstein, the only
difference is Lesley throws the occasional indignant fart into the
equation as well.
The great thing about it is they're so predictable that I don't even
need to read they're posts to get them howling. I don't think that
I've read a word either of them have written in about six months.
