Actually I do not approve of the modern usage of the word "gay". Apart from anything else, it quite ruins the name of that old party favourite, the Gay Gordons. Smile

Hogmanay lasts but a day
(Like Brigadoon, or so they say)
And those that once were blythe and gay
Are over the hills and far away

mctag :
any chance we both might obtain the status of "poet laureate" ?
if not in our respective countries , perhaps right here on a2k ?
perhaps an "honours list" could be established - even better if some award would be included - a bottle of the finest from scotland ?
from one poet to another : have a happy 2007 !
(what would we do without ican and baldimo ... Crying or Very sad :wink: ).

Gordons wine bar can be found in London. A great place, lovely wines and delicious cheese.

Cheese, reminds me of Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in Fleet Street where we had a meeting a few years ago. I recently noticed a pub of an apparently similar age (pre-1650) in High Holborn called the Cittie of Yorke.

Yorke Peninsula is within an easy 90 minute drive from Adelaide, South Australia. Once there, go fishing from historical jetties, boats or beaches, in tranquil bays or the wilder Southern Ocean.

Oceanside properties are too expensive even in Australia. I got quite far looking for one in Mackay, Queensland.

Next time I go there, I may try harder to buy something, since the price of my house here has increased hugely. I will die richer than I live.

Live produce, that's what Molly Malone had in her wheelbarrow which she once wheeled though the streets of Dublin's fair city. Cockles and mussels, I believe; shellfish.

Here she is in her eye catching outfit. In two lines she wants to know what's been happening, what cheek!

"Cheek-to-cheek" is so uncomfortable for men that it has been left out of the Kama Sutra. That is a book written for male chauvinist pigs.

Pigs are lovely creatures, there is a breed of curly haired pigs that purr when happy. Although I don't purr, I have been known to grunt.

Grunt is slang for a soldier in the U.S. military. The equipment laden soldiers were said to emit grunting sounds under the weight of modern combat equipment.

Equipment for soldiers is scandalously lacking in the British forces. Complaints are being heard in parliament.

Parliament, stone me, another French word! Have you heard the news this morning, that in the 1950s there was a proposal from France to make us all Franglais?
