It seems reasonable to me Carter than Mr Shafiq should make a single calm comment here as well as closing down the bitter discussion at Rochdale Online in which Mr Hennigan appears to have threatened legal action over the inconceivable idea that he may have smelt of alcohol at 3pm on Sunday.<BR/><BR/>That, frankly, is fairly normal for Dave at 3pm on Sunday even if this is merely a hangover from Saturday's shenanigans.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps someone can confirm or deny (or one of each) whether Mr Hennigan was stumbling and unable to stand up straight as some report. Clearly he could smell of drink without actually being drunk. But if he were stumbling or slurring or dribbling or swaying or ruddy of complexion or unduly bright eyed or especially abusive or nodding of or etc etc etc ... then this would be persuasive that he was actually DRUNK rather than having had a drink at some stage.<BR/><BR/>To be fair, we need to ask.<BR/><BR/>If it were only Wera and not William asked to step up to the plate that would place Henni at fifth choice rather than sixth choice as suggested from the possible five ahead of him, being:<BR/><BR/>Rowen, Ali, Coric, Hobhouse x 2.Chris Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15679067503215414300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38067964.post-78420977030150570212009-01-26T21:20:00.000+00:002009-01-26T21:20:00.000+00:00MShafiq, (for it is he) for someone who is now ref...MShafiq, (for it is he) <BR/><BR/>for someone who is now refusing to comment on this, you are doing a lot of commenting on it Mohammed.<BR/><BR/>The following was posted by you on Rochdale Online tonight at 17:48. <BR/><BR/><BR/>MShafiq<BR/>United Kingdom<BR/>106 Posts Posted - 26/01/2009 : 17:48:37 Show Profile <BR/><BR/>I do not intend to engage an argument with you on this, the private security firm that escorted you off the premises told me about the smell of alcohol along with many others.You do not make vicious and personal attacks against any organisation and then not expect a response.<BR/>Due to possible legal proceedings I do not intend to make any comments on this at all so any questions you have for me can be directed to me diretly.<BR/>---------<BR/>M Shafiq - Working to promote understanding between communities.

But I presume Rowen is the dummy and Henni the vent in most cases? This was the other way round.
