Back of the black stump is the place where I live. It is a place of peace and serenity.
Serenity is one of my most sought-after attributes so your place must be lovely. "Peace and plenty" as the medieval people called it.
It was bloody awful. No cars, no buses, no trains, no microwave dinners, no roll-ups or ons, no rock and roll, no relief from peasant drudgery and a bunch of black-robed dirge chanters stopping you shagging.
shagging could that be plural to shag a type of bird?
Bird watching is a very popular pastime. Why I can't image: they all look the same when you've had a few.
Few beers dulls the mind. I prefer to watch birds cold sober.
Sober people are rather boring I find. The conversations of sober people never seem to reach the heights that come naturally to a bunch of piss-artists in the last hour in the pub up to the Landlord shouting "have you no homes to go to?"
To be or not to be that is the question!
Question is Black tulip. Why don't you answer in two sentences as this thread demands. :wink:
Demands on the time of modern young business people are far greater than they were in my young day. People are constantly available by phone and Blackberry.
Blackberry Way, The Move, 1968 or so, happy youthful memories. I though they were quite musical and inventive, especially Roy Wood who went on to form Wizzard and seemed completely mad.
Mad Janet is what I call my sister-in-law. She combines mental imbalance with religiosity.
Religiosity is not one of my favourite subjects. I much rather discuss world affairs.
Affairs of the heart are discussed more than any other type of affair, when two or more women are together. At least. that's what men suppose.
Suppose you had to give up either electricity or indoor plumbing. Which one would you least like to lose?
Lose your shirt means to risk all your money on something because you are sure you will win. Have never ever gambled my money away.
Away with indoor plumbing, to answer Firefly's point above. I would be lost without computer, heating, TV but able to run off to an outhouse when necessary.
Necessary toileting behaviors could be performed outdoors, although that would be far from convenient. I am so glad I do not have to make such choices.
Choices are indeed luxuries for us in the developed world. People just don't realise how lucky they are.
Are there still people around who do not understand how the other half (the poor) live in THIS country? I wish some do-gooders would open their eyes and see what is so evident.
