Reticent was never in my repertoire, but I was a lot bolder forty years ago.

Ago was the shortened nickname of the motorcycle racer Giacomo Agostini, who, in the days before PC nonsense, was, due to his colourful racing leathers when most riders still wore plain black, cheerfully referred to as

Elsewhere on the net there are
probably
other 'circles' populated by people who behave in a logical and sensible manner, who just
use
words instead of playing games with them, but I don't think I want to visit those dark corners with their poor benighted residents.
