Feather Hackles

[Phil]

Actually, Phil, for most of us the cost of our feathers has been the cost of our father's funeral.

I am so sorry to hear that your father died in such distressed circumstances that his estate was not sufficient to cover his funeral expenses but was only trying to be a little light hearted. Please accept my apologies for any upset my comments may have caused and I appreciate the hurt they may have caused.

That post is in extremely poor taste.

I am sorry Phil, but the above comments really won't do.

You are, of course, quite correct and I must apologise unreservedly for any offence that my misunderstanding has caused.

Phil,
I accept that, as a gentleman, you had not intended to cause offense and so, without any reservations what so ever on my part, I accept your apology.

Now gentlemen, let us all repair to the bar for a friendly libation.
