However -> You may have to draw upon your memory from some time back, which maybe a problem for you's LOL. It appears that he cannot be bothered getting into a Big circus, come merry go round with you both, like a long winded one some time back, which wasn't exactly inspiring from you both Hence, it's not the subject you're raising, requesting, but the potential circus type thing brewing.
You know like the Bible quote -> what was will be, nothing new under the sun
