It's pathetic really, and you still don't realise all this ire is entirely your own making.
Well, MJ, perhaps I was too optimistic on dates, and perhaps you can say that I read too much into it, but the media reports were certainly there, and a strong indication came through that a deal would be forthcoming. Everything was fitting together - Liberty's takeover of Virgin Media, the new talks with Sky, the new sense of realism we were told was in evidence, Sky's wish to get VM on board with their new Bravo channel, the recent co-operation between the two companies, etc, etc.

I am not too concerned to hear that dates mooted have slipped, we have already discussed the possible reasons for this.

I can assure you that I have no intention of bigging myself up, I was expressing my view on what would happen.

No doubt if I am proved wrong on this, you will feel very content with yourself. However, I have not yet conceded defeat, but will have no hesitation in doing so if the evidence suggests otherwise. That evidence is not there yet, only your opinion.
