    I am just sitting back, loving the quality of the writing on this thread.

    What a talented bunch we are. Would love to read some of your (published) stuff, wageslave - you have a very unique, clear, wonderfully outspoken voice.

    In admiration at lemonjelly's quick draw on the metaphor front, too.

    Are you ok, lir? Unlike you to be angry, let alone so angry that you need help in finding the perfect insult? :grouphug:

    Get a pony, not a donkey...donkeys ren't waterproof. A pony will be as cheap.

    The blindfold...needs be. The other...you know what I think. I don't need to type it. I think, more, from thic, that clicker would be good for YOU.

    Perhaps you should keep her for you,it sounds like you, as well as your da, would love her.

    How old is she? If she already jumps well, seems like the logical step is brushing up the flat work (logical would have really been the other way round...lol, but it always hapens this way in this country) Can't really advise on that by internet, not here certainly. You are welcoe to send me some video clip to try and help from..

    LJ, I doff my metaphorical hat to you, or at least I would if I had one,yes I know thats the meaning of meta...oh never mind. I must have read "Love All The People" 3 times! the man was a genius, the voice of reason!

    I wish he was still around, what a sad loss. The world needs more like him, but would they listen/understand? hmmm...

    As for vinyl, I love vinyl! am just beginning to start collecting more of it, for the artwork on the cover/sleeve as much as the music itself sometimes. But then there's also the romance of placing that stylus in the groove and tempting your OH into a wee smooch...:)

    Mind you, I also still buy CD's and books, i.e i like physical product, couldnt be doing with downloads, am I a Luddite?

    No, you are a sensible intelligent human being!:D

    In case anyone is wondering, I didn't create an AE to write this!:D

    You've reminded me, I have both "Love All The People" and "Agent Of Evolution" in my books to read list! I must instantly get them off the shelves and read them. I did start love all the people once, but never finished it. Now I will do so.

    Bill Hicks - still missed to this day. Still very relevant. The world misses the insight. Imagine what he'd have had to say about the past couple of years.:(

    person who I'm crossing swords with is not British. rules out Dr who. Still not quite there.

    I hate being to angry to think of the right words.:mad::mad:

    The right words are usually !!!! right off

    We worry about people, what to do, what to say.

    Mostly, people are easy. Our friends are always welcome and the rest can !!!! right off...........
    Retail is the only therapy that works

    No, its not like me, and I'm not happy. But wageslave might come and practise some clicker on me, that would help. :D I'll feel happier when I have crafted a letter sufficiently intelligently silencing (I shall cross out all the rude words.)

    Oh what I would give.......

    I think what I'm trying to do is a slightly more arch and wordy version of that.:D
