		<description>To be honest Sid, you would have to sympathise with Sunny if he was to ban Muzumdar.

He is not Amer.

Its not often I&#039;ve invited people I know to cast an eye on a PP commenter, but this reincarnation of Naxal seems to be attracting universal revulsion.

The common response is, &#039;we can do without communalists like him&#039;.  And the other one - &#039;you&#039;re wasting your time with fascists&#039;.

But there is something about Muzumdar. Invaluable entertainment.

I am still not convinced he is what he says he is. He rejects the Khalistanis of 1980&#039;s; and now has found an alternative model - Zionism. And goes about the laborious work of fitting facts around a policy.

We&#039;ve all seen it before.</description>

		<description>I think Sunny&#039;s way too trigger happy with the ban button. Muzumdar, I think you&#039;re posts are invaluable even if I do get pissed off by them. And yeah, I miss Amer too.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d never seen it. Heard the music. I guess we&#039;re coming up to the Elton John sequence. I&#039;ll have to look away.

Hard to imagine boots bigger than Katy (err explain to her if she reads it the wrong way).</description>

		<description>Vikrant - Katy&#039;s gone out.  I didn&#039;t accept JFF&#039;s offer because it&#039;s not a surgical problem, and I&#039;ve been told to avoid hot climates and anywhere where mosquitos are prevalent.  Also, bizarrely, it&#039;s such an unglamorous branch of medicine that there are very few specialists.

Refresh - Yes I am also watching Tommy and not enjoying it very much.  I&#039;m not even watching Law and Order tonight, as I&#039;ve seen them all before. The Chairman used to do some work for a musical equipment hire company that had Elton&#039;s boots from Tommy over their front door.  At the time, they were bigger than Katy.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Thank you, my friend, I could be worse. I am waiting to be admitted to hospital for approximately 6 weeks, so that I wonâ€™t be as much of a chair woman as I am now.&lt;/i&gt;

I must say Chairwoman, you should have accepted JFF&#039;s offer to set u up an appointment with docs in Mumbai.</description>

		<description>Good stuff. Will be in touch off-line.

Just watching Tommy on 2. Didn&#039;t think I&#039;d like it too much, but its good. Have always liked the Who, but was put off by Pinball Wizard - I think it was because of Elton John stutting in those ridiculous DMs and glasses.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Sidenote to Sunny: Please do not ban Mazumdar. [And can we have Amir back please].&lt;/i&gt;

Sunny may be on a vacation to Amsterdam but Muzu mught just be pushing his luck...

Anyways our mutual suspicions and communal mentalities are really unnecessary here. On streets of Britain we&#039;re all Pakis anyway. Just tis evening i got called a &quot;f***ing Paki&quot; on a street where i used to live for over 6 yrs.</description>

		<description>I just want to be useful again.  I&#039;ve always been busy, and the enforced idleness has been difficult.  Luckily, I&#039;m an only child, so have always been able to amuse myself, but amusing myself day after day has started to pall to say the least.

We&#039;re going to have some work done here, a loft conversion, and possibly re-arrangement of the downstairs.  We need to see how mobile I am first.

But yes, I would be really interested to hear about your projects.</description>

		<description>Hope the wait doesn&#039;t go on much longer.

I am pretty good - too busy with projects to know what to tackle next. Having said that its good fun.

As for the Refreshlets, I&#039;m missing them. See less of them these days, we had to put them off for a month or so as we had the roofers with scaffolding surrounding Refresh Castle. It&#039;ll pick up again.

Do you have plans for when you are less of a chair woman? 

I am interested to know, I may need help with some of my projects.</description>

		<description>Chairwoman,

For a while I had considered Muzumdar was the &#039;turbanned flatmate&#039; Amir had always blamed for his night of madness.

Nevertheless, I do miss him. Brought some vigour to proceedings.

Those were the days.

BTW, I hope you are keeping well.</description>

		<description>Muzumdar, 

I think you should continue with what you started. You will have, no doubt, guidelines for other people too. You should publish them. Here and now.

Otherwise it leaves the audience clueless how they should change for the better.

And if its in the context of a specific conversation, then limit it to the parties affected, for now. 

You can always come back to the rest later.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s be clear about one thing; I gave my guidelines for the Ummah in post #95 during the course of a very specific conversation about Israel/Palestine.

If you want help for your homework re: your list, then you will have to be more specific.</description>
