Laura:

I have to ask-which is worse, a berk or a pillock?  My knowledge of 
contemporary British slang isn't what it should be, obviously 
(although I'm not bad on Victorian era usage, being a Holmes fan.  
Much good it does me now.).

As for the rest-you're just looking for a fight, and I choose to rise 
above your provocation.  Sirius IS the man.  *grins back*
