But not ice cream, George. :-)

Watch those empty calories, old man.

I'm a whale these days. At 20 I weighed 8 stone. Now I'm nearly 60 and
twice that.

Actually I'm not sure I understand your statement.

As I read it, John was mock-patronizing in response to your attempt to be
jocular about the deadly serious business of audio publishing. I could be
wrong, of course. (But probably not.)

I'd have said unhelpful or a little defensive rather than patronising.
But as this whole business is a minefield, with any mis-statement by
John likely to be pounced on by any number of posters, that's
understandable.
