Ah, sorry! That was me. In a tired state I deleted the whole line rather than just taking the bold off so I retyped it.

 

No worries!  At least it lasted longer this time instead of being deleted by the very next poster.

It was just prompted by a memory of a friend prancing about singing it while holding a courgette as a microphone.

The people removing my little Prince joke.

About the first time... I'm afraid it was me.

I didn't know it was a joke, I thought it was a mistake. 

Please accept my apologies, @Toast. I promise it will never happen again.
