    A hat trick of appearances on your little notebook. I’m flattered, truly.

    [Daphne – Inappropriately patronising sarcasm in one so young (or any age, really) has little charm and appeal, Matthew. Try wit. It’s more difficult, but more effective.]

      I guess I’ll have to search for some wit on this blog so I can learn from it…

      …

      Nope couldn’t find any. I’ll have to stay charmless.

      Thanks for calling me young. I’ve been feeling a bit old since my 25th.

      Anyway I’ll leave you to get back to your Labour-proof bunker. Toodles!

      [Daphne – 25 is quite young. If you’re not over it in the next five years, are still talking and thinking like this while voting AD, begin to worry. It means you will still be like that at my age, and believe me when I say that there are few sadder spectacles than men of 48 with your flippant, shallow attitude. But I am quite sure your mother must have told you this already.]

        In five years’ time you will be thirty, Matt. Think about that.

        No Daphne, we’re actually waiting for someone like H.P Baxxter to light our path to salvation.

        Flippant I’ll take, and seeing as you mentioned my mum (you have a habit of bringing people’s mothers into arguments, incidentally. Very mature.), you’re right, it is a character trait that annoys her slightly. I like to think it has its uses, though. But you calling me ‘shallow’? Really? That’s rich.

        I look forward to commenting on here again in 23 years’ time, when you’re both menopausal and senile. Until then, I’ll stop wasting your time better spent writing PN’s copy. Laters.

        [Daphne – I’ll say it worries her a lot, rather than annoys her, but she won’t tell you how much. It will worry her because she will know that this sort of character trait in a man is one of the single greatest obstacles to the formation and maintenance of a proper adult relationship with a member of the opposite (or same, for that matter) sex. As a side note, women of 71 are neither menopausal nor senile. And if you don’t believe me, ask mummy.]

        Forsake Norman Lowell, Eldarion, and follow me. I will lead to you to victory.

        I can confirm that Matthew Bonanno has no sex life to speak of…

    And the scary part is that it’s not that far from the truth.

    RE: the above dialogue: what an eccentric performance.
