So you're 60 years old?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I would never accuse anyone of lying. At most, I would claim that they were being extremely economical with the truth. 
You also neglected the possibility that JSOP is older than 60, and that at one time he was interested in soccer.

I'm more concerned that it might be construed that you were calling him a girl.
Stand a bit further away, eh? This is a good shirt; I don't want blood on it.

As far as I know, there are no girls on CP; there are a few women.
There is also at least one old woman pedant who, by casting aspersions on my writing, is doing his best to get me shot.

That's for sure. DD scared them all away.
He's since moved on into conservative politics, so that's not surprising.

That's terrible!
I myself never cast aspersions on people's writing!

That's absurd on the face of it.

Didn't you do any stupid things when you were a kid? I admit that I did.

You are a wise man, Mr. Wallace. These kids would do well to heed your warnings.

Someone in the US stated that they could be convinced to care about soccer, and he was shot.

That's because it's a girls' game in the US.
Shame that the girls aren't as feminine as our players.

Statistically, short duration (~5 days) round trips are way cheaper. The English players seem to know this.
