Oh, Sally-Anne's much better at insulting people, what? I confess I've never had the knack of it; I'm always far too certain the person will realise I'm doing it.
I suppose it's the product of not growing up with so many brothers who'll happily take the mick. I say, I do envy you that.
Besides, trading insults doesn't really get one anywhere, does it? It may be gratifying in the short-term, what, but more often than not one's goals fall by the wayside.
Patil's got her strong points but I agree she's rather exhausting. Still, if you're right and she is on track to be Head Girl (and I well think you're right, old man), then it also pays to remain at least marginally on her good side.
I say, I do know how you feel and how hard it is to smile at someone who one thinks is a liar or a two-faced snob. It's just--well, I think in some ways, we're all liars and we're all two-faced, what? For different reasons, if you follow me.
