Reagan WAS Re:

[Guest guest]

From what you say it would seem that you have ~met~ these people,

while previously giving the impression of knowing them well - you gave

that impression when Fraggle mentioned Nadar - that you knew Nader

well, and Fraggle was wrong. Maybe your idea of ~knowing~ people is

different to mine.

 

I certainly do not have any experience of horse or dog shows, and am

not very keen on the idea. While selling horses and dogs to famous

people may be fun, and interesting, it does not prove that you know

the people well - which is the impression you always give.

 

Just a tip - there are lots of 'ladies' in England - not worth

mentioning that you have met one.
