I NOTICE that Eric Leaver is still inflicting his "blunt" (and wry?) opinions on us. Funnily, my thesaurus offers 'dull' as a rather apt alternative to blunt.

His recent attack on firefighters really did take the biscuit, coming as it did from the safety of his swivel chair.

He really should try to get out more. The work obviously isn't challenging enough for him (given that I managed this during the 'adverts') and can only assume it's for pocket money.

Isn't it time to let this bitter old man go. It wouldn't be hard, we can use most of the same letters, so go on Eric -- Leave!
