No and no.  My wife was extremely responsive and she liked the way I brought
her responses out.....  oooh...uuuurh...aaaahhh...gasp!

The smiley was a weak attempt to make a joke about a slur on the collective
manliness of this here Sceptred Isle!  You sir have offended us, take that!

It's pistols at dawn for the likes of you, my lad.  Choose thy valet with care

Bullshit!  _They_ would never put an American engine in a British bike.  That 
must have been the South American importers idea of a joke.  Strip out the 
very saleable Merlin, stick in an old, 2nd hand ex-airforce aero-engine and 
sell it to some patriotic yanks.  Remember the Mustang?  Didn't work very well
until they got rid of that clunker of a yank motor and lashed a decent RR jobby
into the things.  This way, they sell the Spags at a high mark up and flog the
Road-Merlin for even more. The South Americans don't get bad press in the 
movies for nothing, you know.  Anyway, they're not real South Americans, 
they're just misplaced Spaniards and you _know_ what they are like.  (Franco?)
