What astounds me, is ..

Even the redoubtable Saint Nicholas of Pelling and the indomitable Reverand Cramer of Gordon, not to mention David the Morganite  .. neither of whom, like me, have exhibited  a bloody clue as to what this wrinkle in the Somerton Man code reveals,  But unlike me, an old surfer from Bondi who likes to take the piss, they disport themselves as being masters of the mysterious coding methods ..

I try not to laugh, but it is difficult.
