wait wait, Mick is
still hoping??????
wasn't that past tense??
no, hoping as in present tense is impossibility, just ask many of the chiffs on this board. they know better than Mick.
he's just stirring the pot.
(although completely unclear what reason would he have to stir that pot and potentially make SN mad?? but i'm sure chiffs will come up with thousands of reasons. cause you know, Mick is always the bad guy.

)
