      Careful now. I paid a moody compliment, which I felt duty bound to explain & was moderated. They have no concept of verbal, dramatic, and situational irony.

      BTW, recently in my Comm. Council capacity, a W.D.C. Officer failed to attend a meeting citing attendance at a Clydebank Shopping Centre charrette as his excuse.
