Id post it if i could, but the interweb is a funny thing here, and moving image is only the stuff of dreams....but the message is, make it loud, make it quick and make it so i can get back to sleep, theres work the next day and i need to conserve what little energy i have left...
Yes, i did get your joke, but my POV remains exactly as i had written, I would not miss nobody here if they left...those i would have missed were or are in my closer social group now....
This was posted on Michael Moore's FB page.... I really couldn't have put it better if id tried....
To show solidarity with the French satirical magazine -- and with all who stand for freedom of speech and press -- what if next Wednesday every newspaper/magazine/website in the world changed its masthead for just one day to read: "CHARLIE HEBDO." The message would be loud and clear to those who seek to silence any voice: No one fears you, you are vastly outnumbered, and no one will back down. If you don't get the joke - or you don't like the joke - get over it, move on, or make your own satire. You don't like the West illegally invading Muslim countries? That's fertile ground for some devastating - and justified - satirical attacks. Yes, if you are invaded, you have the moral right to fight back and defend your home. But that offensive cartoon you didn't want anyone to see? Well, thanks to you, the number of people who've seen it now has expanded from the 60,000 who had read it in Charlie Hebdo, to the BILLIONS who've seen it in the past 24 hours. Nice work. The Prophet, I'm certain, isn't smiling.
Certainly, with the forums at least, its a case of people having breathers inbetween the creative (however that is) and dry spells... Id agree with HC, if your going to leave, leave, simple as that, no-ones gonna miss anyone from here at the end of the day... The single biggest thing on here is maintaining your identity, being who you really are, and that isnt always something thats welcomed, either by argument or indifference, contributors leave, but new people come and fill the gap, how engaging they are will remain to be seen, but hey, its just a game, right!....
I organised the 2012 CS meet in Bunratty, Co Clare and met 18 people there, 15 of whom were CS regulars, there were 3 others who decided not to be part of the larger group.... as for 1 to 1 meets, im not altogether sure, but id hazard a guess at 5 or 6 over a three year period, culminating in my present lady, who has been my constant companion since march 2014....
..and as a callow youth, we had our insecurities and none of us were born worldly wise, but hey, were better now with the onset of our twilight years...
thats a good looking turkey ,but whats with putting fruit with meat... dont get me wrong, i like fruit, but not with meat...c'mere to me now, would you have beef and custard for pudding, or chocolate sauce drizzled on your lamb cutlets, probably not.... Ok, ill leave it there for now, ive got some crisps to eat, sure, i dot wanna be loosing weight on the run up to the christmas binge......
Mornin Stan..... Well, as we are probably aware by now, me is fat, and me dont care... however, other people do, and i have been approached on occasions about 'looking after my health' by 'concerned' parties... Like the word ni**ger, fat is a dirty word, plump, portly, rotund, big boned, puppy fat, its all window dressing to save offense... Could i tell, a friend they are overweight, NO, because not everyone is as thick skinned as me, I have been fat all my life and there isn't a slur or insult i havn't heard, and thankfully, it matters not one iota what other people think about me, probably because im not, and never have been about image.... Realistically, fat people who care enough about their self image and what others think about them will make an effort to effect change, all others will just carry on carrying on, I am one of the latter, but no sadder for it... Interesting topics, a reminder of what the forums used to be about...
Dame Helen Mirmen (though i know shes not strictly british) and Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) would be 2 of my choices, but i did vote for Judi Dench, absolute perfection in 'Notes on a Scandal'....
....all the blood and guts stuff is a major yawn, unless its played for laughs, the black night in monty pythons 'holy grail' film is a perfect example of gore for fun sake.... stuff that makes my skin crawl would be psychological drama, and some of it seems pretty innocuous on the face of it, but the message that people can have untapped reserves of evil and can unleash it at a moments notice has a far more unsettling effect than any gorefest....
Keep your expectations here sensibly low, a large number of men just want an easy lay, and where better to find it than a free and pretty much unregulated dating site.... there are some success stories (im one of them) but these come out of the left field, that is to say, they were unexpected turns for the good... some say, 'love finds you' and not the other way round, I'd say, add this place as part of your dating 'tool kit', but keep up out there ITRW... Good luck and i hope the good stuff comes your way in due course...
I guess there will be differing opinions about this, but coming at it purely from a point of language and metre, i cant see a problem, the quality of some lyric writing can be by its very nature poetic....
a favorite lyric of mine would be from a song called 'crystal gazing' taken from an album by Be Bop Deluxe, and just shows how lyrical language can be, when used by an artist (in this case Bill Nelson)...
The man who owned the heartache That lived on the stairs... Passed me in the night whistling "Memories of You"...
I stared, too frightened to move For fear my eyes shone a light On the darkness he drew like a cloak All around his shoulders...
And the church on the corner Marked the time for the mother Who was giving birth to a child across the hall...
And I waited half in anger, half in sadness For an answer to the call for help I had written on the wall
And the rain fell like jewels On the heads of all the fools Who wandered crazed with their souls ablaze for me...
And the blessing of the hour Was the twilight and the tower With its golden bell from the bottom of the sea...
And the moon through the window of the bedroom Where lovers slumbered Made a silver dance of such dust beneath the bed...
And I waited for a moment in the lamplight, Crystal gazing Listening to their hearts And the changing of their breath.
Listening to their hearts And the changing of their breath.
