RE: look into my eyes

Great poem Dan


I'm not a heartless person but my advice - and I have no idea who wrote it is to..............

pick yourself up, dust yourself down and start all over again

RE: History Questions

oops - I meant *indicative


Yes, Hiroshima was a bit of a shocker for me too when I found out about it - in a way, I am glad that I was protected from all of this in my childhood but that doesnt imply that I think children should be protected thus. When I did start to explore all these atrocities I was quickly running down the road of discovering cause and effect - that journey has served me well.

By the time my own children were at school they commonly were doing projects on such issues - what are the words........... Lest We Forget.............

RE: History Questions

Heck Skimpy, was that traumatic for you ?

Much of this stuff was still under the official secrets act when I was at school - I left at the the age of 15 in 1969, pretty well versed in the Romans and Greeks etc but of modern history I knew nothing much.

When I started looking into all this for myself I found it most heartbreaking - mans inhumanity to man - sort of thing, it left me pretty traumatised and I was around 20 by this time.

I dont think the warnings inherrent in all of this are particularly releveant or undicative of any particular nation but rather of how cruel people can be to each other when they are only considering their own interests.

RE: Hello

haha - I like your opening comment

Good to meet you

Hey Brilliant - all the very best of luck to you

RE: Trust

I have to watch for my own agenda too - sometimes I want to believe so much that it makes those rose coloured specs just jump right onto my nose

RE: Trust

not exactly problems but it does take me some time. I dont trust blindly these days

RE: When a Man says he wants to take it slow...

thats a great analogy Di

Ive taken ages building this wall of protection round myself and am in no rush to undo all the benefits it affords me - if somebody wants to rush me its a bit of a red flag

RE: Freedom

Hi Englishman he will get back to it, he has probably gone to sleep as he works odd hours

RE: When a Man says he wants to take it slow...

its a bit scarry sticking it out on the taking it slow thing but I have done it the other way round and that never got me anywhere either.

'Friends with benefits' is ok but has never lasted for me so this time round Im giving the taking time to get to know him really well option a run for its money.

Slowly building a knowledge of how the other person ticks, their likes and dislikes, views and opinions shows not only respect but is also a built in self protection model too

RE: When a Man says he wants to take it slow...

I think it shows respect when a guy wants to take it slow and I think it shows great potential when both parties want to take it slow - act in haste and repent at leisure as they say

RE: History Questions

wikipedia is always a good place to start with this kind of thing, very informative and it also gives links.

RE: Is global warming an issue as you view it? If so...

I dont really have a big carbon footprint cos I dont have a car but its energy saving things that count isnt it? such as using heating and air con as little as possible - turning down the thermostat on the washing machine etc, low energy light bulbs - i have those too - I do what i can

RE: Hard to believe

RE: Hard to believe

RE: Hard to believe

I never rode without gloves again and wasnt driving when the helmet incident happened but I have to admit - there is a single track road nearby, very bendy and hilly, and on a day like Dknew is describing, in fact it was really hot - i just had to have a go wiht no helmet, it was very nice - in fact it was an idyllic day. I parked at a view point and thought I was seeing things - about 15 hot air balloons went sailing by - a nice memory that one - I miss my little bikette

RE: Hard to believe

Yes, I second that wholeheartedly

I came off one time and had no gloves on - what a mess I made of the skin on my hands

another time, before crash helmets were compulsary, I thankfully had mine on - it saved my life that day - it cracked right down the side - lucky it wasnt my skull

RE: Hard to believe

I really miss my little honda 90 on days like that - could be feeling totally down and within half a mile I would be singing

RE: Has anybody ever missed a bus ?..i'm really angry !..driver saw me slowed down ..then drove off...

Gilly, it is a right royal pain in the neck here - they stop at 7 - 30 so its taxis after that and into the nearest big town, the last is at around 5pm out of there.

I come from inner Manchester originally and although I have been here 12 yrs or so it is still hard to get used to the enforced staying in - a taxi is easily 15£ - I miss the all night buses for sure but not the city bustle - great to visit but thats all.

sounds like you had a heck of an eventful journey home

RE: carla's pre-birthday part!!

I hope you have a brilliant wonderful night of it - Happy Days and
