You posted whilst I was typing, oldbroad

But somehow I got printed twice !!

Tough, oldbroad. Try another?

Excuse me? I clearly beat Mad out - by a smidgen

This is really weird, ladies. In order, I've got the first post from Mad at 19:41, a post from oldbroad at 19:43, a duplicate post from Mad also at 19:43, then a puzzled post from Mad at 19:44

As Mad surmises, looks like she somehow queue-jumped you, oldbroad. Apologies, and a belated cigar

Mad, try another?

That is weird and it is no biggie! I was just ing you!

And, I had seen that you did post that I beat her out but then you changed your post.

I can see the Barry Gibb likeness...
