To me, mousey is a natural hair colour. I would describe friends as having mousey hair without any insult intended or received. All of them (the women anyway) would love a comparison to a 20 year old Taylor.
You can decide that that is disingeuous or argumentative. I can't help how you interpret it, but there's no need for us to be tetchy on it. You generally have a pretty good take on stuff, but on this occasion I disagree with you and think you're being unnecessarily harsh on Tony - who I don't know, and as I nordie, probably don't want to. The world won't end. We can disagree and move on, but I won't question that you're holding an honest opinion, or think you're trying to be argumentative. It would be great if you could reciprocate.
