Agreed and that may well be exactly how it was intended. However, as I have already noted, sarcasm falls flat on its' face when it is not recognised as such, but is simply accepted as a sincere compliment.dillon wrote:As Daniel described it, it sounded like she was giving him sarcasm, though none of us were there.

I had the very opposite last night in the pub. I spent a good ten minutes of convivial conversation convincing someone that my skirt was not a kilt.
This was from a definite "Aberdonian". We would never have had that chat had I been properly kilted or trousered.
Great fun all round.
