I truly in my heart feel for the people of Britain, and any other place that has gone through what I went through on 9/11. I know how it feels.
For oldandnew....The bombings in London were horrific, I wondered if you were alright.....I know you are distressed, these horrible events have a way of reaching out and touching everyone. I took some comfort in the fact that you sent me a PM. Please don't think I am ignoring you, the moderators have taken away my PM privileges and their suggestion is that I publish my email if I want to keep in touch with friends. So if you need me, my email is in my profile. And until I hear from you, know that we are saddened by the recent terrorist acts and will pray that you and yours are safe and protected from madmen. GB
GB, dear. They haven't taken away your PM privileges. There are simply some new rules in place. As I understand it, John cannot e-mail nor receive e-mail as yet, but I'm not certain why. It has something to do with the fact that he doesn't have a pc.
Letty, dear.
John sent me a PM just a day or so ago. I used to be able to use PM's and now I can't. You can call it new rules, that's fine with me, but the fact of the matter is "I can no longer send PM's and have been told by the moderator that I am not a member in good standing". I'm not sure how much more blunt it could be. So, to be precise, they are no longer allowing me to engage in PM privilege. If I could do it before and they have now prevented me from enjoying this perk, I would have to say that they took my privilege away. Apparently this has happened to a number of other people as well. Unfortunately, when I wrote to the moderater asking how to correct this, I was told the criteria would not be revealed to me. But......it's not my site, so they can make any rules they want.
I haven't the words to say how I truly feel in a situation such as this. Suffice to say, I feel the same as the other Americans on this thread.
Well, I think I'm confused again, so the best remedy for this is to go to BED! <smile>
I'm proud of my American citizenship--but my roots are in that sceptered isle. I also lived there for three years. One of the characteristic comments of the Brit in the Street, is "Mustn't Grumble."
Let's us grumble for them because they won't whinge for themselves.
Noddy
Must'n Grumble ? ha ha.
nothing wrong with us Brits that a nice pint of warm beer wont put right.
I don't think we know how too spell WYNGE. HA HA
Eva ---- keep up those magic steps, it's jive talk dancing
now here's a litle son too raise our spirits
OUT IN THE MIDDLE EAST
A fellow in the forces was writing a letter
From somewhere in the East, talk of a blinking feast.
He said "It's just like Blackpool sands, we play with hand grenades
If we had known we would have brought along our buckets and spades
Out in the Middle East you can have a lot of fun,
Out in the Middle East by the Mediterranean.
Join the forces, they used to say, and see the world it sounds O.K.
But you see now't but sand all day, Out in the Middle East
And when you're hungry, they never serve you up some hot-pot
You never get a gentle breeze a-blowing round your what-knot.
On your heads you've hats like saucepan lids,
You take off your well I never did's
It gets a bit hot round the pyramids Out in the Middle East.
La la la la la
Out in the Middle East you can have a lot of fun
Out in the Middle East by the Mediterranean.
The ladies don't wear too much gear,
It's much too hot for that I fear
You ought to see what we see here,
Out in the Middle East.
And our old sergeant, a little lad who comes from Preston,
You'll hear him singing "Bless 'em all" with nothing but his vest on.
Our fat old cookie, Corporal Platt, is now as thin as a cricket bat,
The sun got at his lump of fat, Out in the Middle East. La la la la la
Out in the Middle East you can have a lot of fun.
Out in the Middle East by the Mediterranean.
The Tattooed lady, what a gal, she lives down by the Suez Canal.
For twopence she'll show you the Taj-Ma-hal
Out in the Middle East.
That girl is tattooed all over for your close inspection.
The officers say "Gad sir, what a nice schoolgirl complexion."
On her chest there Winston can be found and, if you care to look around
There's Goering's mug where she sits down,"0ut in the Middle East.
Rubbish has been a part of human civilization for millenia, Lordoftherollingeyes, where would archaeologists have been without it?
HI MARGO ----how's that cranky knee of yours ?
I was reading recenty that you can get climbing tours of the Sydney Harbour. It's a long way round too work up a thirst.
watch your step Margo, don't crush tother knee
without RUBBISH, TRASH OR JUNK, lots of people would be out of work.
letty --- gb -- thankyou foryour concern
when i was a mere mite of a few months old, i lived under the flightpath of nazi bombers & machine guns. on their way to the docks. a timber yard across the road got trashed and i was blown, along with my father half way acrosss the back yard and into the air raid bomb shelter.
nazis, muslims ? no worries
Does put it in perspective, doesn't it, OaK. I like your attitude.
I'm SO glad you're back here! (((HUG)))&{{{SMOOCH}}}
hi eva ----- when push comes to shove, life can be a real pain,
take a deep breath & hold on tight.
HI LETTY, I BOUGHT A NEW CAR INSTEAD OF A COMPUTER. THAT IS WHY I'M IN COMUNICADO
John of England, I know that, brat. You may have a mind like a sieve, but Letty's is still pretty good considering all the worry and such. <smile>
What sort of new car did you get? I had to get one as well after hurricane Frances.

John! It is so good to know that you are well, brat. Thanks for the links. Hard to keep your little island down for long. <smile>
