In true CUK style when replying to a cyber jouster with such 'personality':

Maggie Tulliver is the main Charecter in the Mill on the Floss, had to go and check to make sure.
Velcro was based on thistle Burrs, even the website has the story on the front page.

Maybe where you live, I've played against the current Brain of Britain champion. That might be a bit below your level, I suspect you are in the CUK 1% club!The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
