A friend's family recently told me that my friend suffers from this very complaint. Very unfortunate affliction indeed. All the best mate.

Not quite sure what to make of this--It certainly is intriguing though - in an explicable sort of way! Most unusual. My warmest regards, H. :) john

"a gas" for me means something funny. I wonder if you were doing a play on the two meanings here!

Well If the cans empty and the airs full, there must be a reason...? Anyway I am left to peruse.' well enjoyed by the way Harry, thanks for the input on 'wrinklys of remain' its a bit disheartning yet the statements of the establishment, are 90 percent of the time to be viewed as the very opposite of the real situation, what a way to live..' Or it it exist..? OH I forgot.' cool Britainnia everyone..)

I was still working on the title's connection to the senryu itself, Harry, when my eyes fell on Danny's comment...now, funnily enough, that's influenced my perspective! Regards // paul

I find this very funny, Harry. Not sure that's how you intended it but it made me smile:)
