I'm not joken ya one bit when I tell ya that I know at least one Frenchman what says "I yam" - so that Le Pencil fella must be bony fido - cos if there's one, there's always two!

As fer Skins callen me "ma" - fair play ta ya fer spotten that one - that even got past MadDogTed's beedy eye. It's a shocken slur on me, of course, but as Skins explained before - they had never met a teddy bear prior ta meeten me, so mabee they weren't quite sure how ta address one. Or mabee they think I'm a bit of a mother figure or somethin. Ya know them French - they're pure mintil altagather! Or perhaps, some class of a sheep is writen ta me, and were just cleeren their throat before communicaten with me.

Oh the possibilities, the possibilities they're almost worse than the bells, the bells.

Be seein ya

PS Quasi Modem has written ta me too, ya know.

PPS "Bless yer countens" - that's a good one!
