something from one of my favourite movies , in summary you cant be sued for libel if what was said about you is so far from the truth no one close to you would ever believe it.
"In November 1983, Larry Flynt's pornographic magazine Hustler carried a parody advertisement of a Campari ad, featuring a fake interview with Falwell in which he admits that his "first time" was incest with his mother in an outhouse while drunk. Falwell sued for $45 million in compensation alleging invasion of privacy, libel, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.[54] After a civil trial, known as Falwell vs. Flynt, which lasted from December 3–8, 1984, a jury rejected the invasion of privacy and libel claims, holding that the parody could not have reasonably been taken to describe true events, but ruled in favor of Falwell on the emotional distress claim and ordered Larry Flynt to pay Falwell damages in the amount of $200,000. This was upheld on appeal. Flynt then appealed to the Supreme Court, winning a unanimous decision on February 24, 1988. The ruling held that public figures cannot circumvent First Amendment protections by attempting to recover damages based on emotional distress suffered from parodies. The decision in favor of Flynt strengthened free speech rights in the United States in relation to parodies of public figures."

and finally from larry himself
"My mother always told me that no matter how much you dislike a person, when you meet them face to face you will find characteristics about them that you like. Jerry Falwell was a perfect example of that. I hated everything he stood for, but after meeting him in person, years after the trial, Jerry Falwell and I became good friends. He would visit me in California and we would debate together on college campuses. I always appreciated his sincerity even though I knew what he was selling and he knew what I was selling."

I'm being brought back to a scene in Alice in wonderland, where a large caterpillar, smoking a hookah pipe, breathes out to Alice ( that be you Pirates) HU R U?

Pirates I'm the 45year old that visits Club Tab often but they keep offering me pensioners rates ( not sure why ) I know I'm tired but not that tired but will try find you when I'm there next time. I normally have a nice young lady with me but I'm not sure I'll bring her with next time. Look forward to meeting you but please don't embarrass me and ask if that's my daughter.

Hear! Hear!
No truer word! I was also asked to take up a racist incident; fortunately, I didn't go further!
Those who want to hide behind anonymous.... do so! But, avoid then wanting to cross swords and becoming personal and abusive; have the guts to tell it to the face! On the other hand, why be disrespectful?
Doff my hat (must wear one now with hardly any hair left!).... to those who come forward with their names!
