Yes, you are right.

Became extremely verbally abusive.


I think Charles was saying that O'Leary is _always_ that way...

I don't recall ever seeing him not in slagging mode (which I suspect
the man from Middlesex did subtly acknowledge) but then that probably
would not be regarded as newsworthy.

Yes, I was absolutely acknowledging what Charles was saying. Only, I was
saying that he became extremely verbally abusive, as compared to his
normal verbally abusive.
