Maybe I can help...I´ve been there a couple of times lately
First of all I would check how unsafe is steering, an appointment for a test drive could be a good idea, I would also have a look at its history of accidents ....Oh! check your lovely pre-owned vehicle is not clocked ...well, you¨may always have more than one test drive if truly interested .......and you´ll notice ;)
but what the hell I´ve got my style lol ....you´ll recognize me for sure and as an spaniard I´m: would yell: hey this guy is great!!!!!!! Bravo!!!!! come on standing ovation for him! hahahaha yeah I will do that
Each of us have our own reasons my tuneful friend ....one day you´ll maybe say: "who is that crazy lady clapping so loudly at the corner?" Oh she is Cachuchi hahahahha
My first mother in law was born in Casablanca ...there is always a story (or more) behind every song.
You are right, just a song.
*Ride to Agadir is a song by Mike Batt telling the story of Moroccans fighting the French colonial power. It was originally released on his album Schizophonia and was covered by Boney M on their album Boonoonoonoos``. ... Found on
Since the death of Capt Charl Muller during Operation Savate in 1980, the haunting song “Ride to Agadir”, composed by Mike Batt, had been adopted as the unit’s personal funeral dirge. Long before he was killed in action, Charl had made it known that if he ever had a military funeral, he wanted this music played instead of the traditional funeral march. His wish was honoured and his wife Zelma allowed the song to be played during his funeral attended by a number of 32 members who flew down to pay their last respects, and so the song became part of 32’s unique final tribute to its dead.
A tradition instituted by the Officer Commanding at the time Col Eddie Viljoen was that when an officer died, his colleagues would gather at the bar and fill their mugs with their beverage of choice for a last toast to the fallen man. The closest friend of the deceased would then deliver a short eulogy, after which “Ride to Agadir” would be played, and one of the officers present would ceremonially smash the glass bottom of the dead man’s tankard (bearing his name), using a miniature hammer specially made for this purpose. A black ribbon was then tied around the tankard before it was hung in its customary place. In due course, a bronze plate bearing the name of the fallen soldier would be mounted below the tankard
As an extension of this tradition, similar mugs, engraved with the dates 27 march 1976 -26 March 1993 were specially made and broken at a private ceremony following the formal disbandment parade in 1993. It was a fitting way to mark the untimely death of a proud battalion whose credo since early 1977 had been Honesty, Loyalty, Justice.http://www.32battalion.net/32%20Battalion%20Customs%20&%20Traditions.htm
@Robb make her visit =) by the way, just checked a couple of your videos in your YouTube account ....I LIKE IT....you feel music ...very nice sir very nice indeed
@LJ: I just visited Amsterdam too, never lived there ...although red is one of my fav colors, smoke makes me cough lol .....I thought about Amsterdam for you, because of bikes. Hope you enjoy our old Europe one more time soon.
@Theone: I know what you mean ..... as I've never been in your country and have no references, I would think It's supposed to work same way worldwide. Private schools used to open more doors than publics....except in Finland (as far as I know and submitted to different opinions)
I went both, public school in a very poor area and after that to a private religious and elite school, I did learn different stuff in both ...got different experiences too. Better or worst made me who I´m. No regrets hahahaha. But "education"....I did that job by myself and still ....
In any case what you and Incu said, IMO, is the key: good human beings raising others =)
@Non: You were lucky after all, so many didn´t survive those days ....at least they ignored you. Some refused to repeat and revealed themselves....they prayed during recess for months, on their knees, with their arms opened ...but guess what? those troublemaker were tough LOL
@Incu&CC: great music. (Incu everytime I think in "education" Pink Floyd comes up to my mind)
Any goverment and and private school will never offert anyone "good" education (not saying "free"...you´ll pay for it .....with your blood and spirit) ....The only way to get "education" today is become an exiled from our own society. Not easy but ....
@Pat, You own my first morning laugh today. Who? so many people in some cultures. In my family and culture having a priest was considered a high status symbol, one kid for god, other to procreate-perpetuate our family name and lands, and third to take care of us when we become older. Talk to me about birth control ....yeah yeah.
There is only one solution: education to open minds ....education will encourage people to work fo better future and take charge of their lives.
