Vic,
I know this is none of my business but please don't let anyone from UKIP bully you. That post #17 sounds a bit nasty to me and I'm glad you're sticking to your guns. He shouldn't be posting things like that anyway - if he were a gentleman he would telephone you in private.
Good luck with your new laptop and thanks to Bob too for all his advice.
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".
