Blair:

I have just beeen presented with an alternative interpretation of your
comment above.

I was not aware of the idiomatic usage by which you refere to a 'monkey
wrench'. It was explained to me that this indicates that virtually
anything in a baked potato with prawns and a cheese sauce would be
good. The type or use of language of the Chef "Emril" was cited as an
example.

While it still seems sarcastic to me, i will admit, less so. And
distinctly leaves open the possibility that i misinterpreted the intent
of your written words.

As a form of humour, I prefere self referential irony over affectionate
sarcasm but to each their own.

I assume the attempted humor of my own responce was enough to render
the more inflamatory aspects of it obviously redundant?
