It's hard /not/ to interpret such a description as an
intentional insult. I can't imagine what it actually means --
in any innocuous sense, anyway.

There ya go then!

Please don't semi-quote Ronald Reagan. It's not becoming.

I'm afraid that's just too 'in-American' for me. I actually haven't a clue
what you are talking about ...

"There you go again!" was Reagan's annoying pet reply to his critics
(read "typical for a Commie pinko socialist bleeding-heart ...").

Good to read that not everyone here reveres this simple-minded wrecker
of what he invariably called "guv'mint" ...

To me, the *plonk...* reminds me of the old man at the public hearing
who stands to make his point, then removes his hearing aid as a sign
that he is not going to hear any rebuttals.
