Oh- I don't know Mathos.

I think I could hold a video camera and press the button after three years in a creative film school. It might shake a bit if I had just come from watching smorgsie perform one of her dance routines.

My essay had a moral. One can be debauched in other areas if one is easily bored and have the cash. The thresholds forever recede.

Which joke did you like best?

I didn't isolate jokes Spendi, the read was good. Miller too, you want to stick to that sort of writing, you appear to be familiar with the fluency it deserves.

You mentioned the late A. W. some time back, he was interesting to read as well, he had a good tutor though with his father. It's somewhat essential to have the knack of getting fluidity into literature, with even a lyrical feel to it. I often thought William S. sang in his bath tub. Good writers appear to have peculiar notions about where they write.

Oscar Wilde and one or two others, whose names I cannot presently bring to mind used to enjoy spending months on end in the world famous Oriental Hotel in Bangkok. They were in the habit of spending the later evenings in a palatially restored rice barge on the Chao Pryah River too, purely to smoke opium. It gave them sinsights apparently.

Some writers have no problem writing at home, but the interesting ones usually have a story too it. It might be the garden shed, and I have heard that off one or two writers, a tent, a cafe, half way up a mountain, at sea even?

Once they press the right button, they very easily put it down to the place of writing, I think I can understand and concur with that. However, such thoughts automatically create a self imposed fear of writing in any alternative spot, no matter how pleasant or isolated the same may be. They become rather paranoid that it won't work in any alternative.

Jimmy Grimbles magic football boots being a similar distraction from the skills possessed.

Superstition is still a strong word to some.

Mathos-

I don't recall hearing tell of Oscar Wilde even being in Bangkok. He was banged-up though.

Frank Harris claimed he had a boat ready to take him to France the night before he was sentenced but Oscar wouldn't listen. And now chaps are laying it into each other with a will.

It's a funny old world. There's an MP up your way, I heard, called Burrows who got married to a chap recently. Right name I must say.
Do you know him?

It wasn't in a church I don't think. Probably a tax and expenses fiddle I should imagine.

Yes; Reading Gaol, did you never read his masterpiece; The Ballad of Reading Gaol? I'll re-check on the Bangkok claim, I'm pretty sure I'm right, but I'll let you know in time, one way or the other.

David Burrows Labour MP South Ribble.

Never met him, I saw him in town once just after he got elected in, he was trying to look important. There was no knowledge to the public in general then, that he was gay. It came out some months later from memory, he came out perhaps I should say. Rumours were about that he came out because of a newspaper threat. There was a wedding a year or two back as well. Each to their own in my book. I have no problem what-so-ever with gay's. In fact I think the camp gay's are hilarious, they really do make me laugh. Then you go the other extreme, the two Kray boys, both of them gay and ruling the London underground and crime scene in general, by fear. That was quite a surprise, to learn they were gay. There are or were two brothers in Manchester of late with a history of violent rule, The Dougan Bros. The older of the two was stabbed to death about 18 months or so back, the younger one, apparently a very violent man is quite openly gay.

It takes all kinds to make a world Spendi, we get a good assortment on these threads. Sometimes I spend a while simply reading threads I don't bother making comment on, it's amazing some of the tales that are told. Especially by the ladies.


You seemed aghast that David Burrows was gay and had gone through some form of marriage ceremony, have you never met or known any gay's, if so how did you feel towards them?

I have no idea Mathos how I feel towards a gay chap.

I have felt towards many a young lady in my time, and a few not all that young. I have not only felt towards them, sometimes in the dark, groping my way blindly, but I have grabbed them impulsively despite their attemps to wriggle free which I thought a big act designed to cost me more.

Can you do that with chaps? What's the bloody point when chaps are not trying to wriggle free to put the price up.

Where's the fun? Where's the challenge? Getting the pious Sister Ursula grunting and her cowl all lopsided is more my idea of fun.

s&m carry on

am reading

TUT...

wassamadda? Is it not normal? Has all my reading and experience led me astray? I've been twisted around a little finger more times than the threads on Penelope's loom.

Not that I'm complaining. I never criticise ladies for their deviousness and cunning. It is the equaliser to our superior strength and intelligence. And that's underestimating it a bit. It left one Chief of the General Staff staked out in the desert. It takes a Sven Goren Erikkson to force a draw.

Honestly spends (tut)...

It's because of all your book-learnin' and experience (alleged) that I find it shocking < note suitable emoticon.

What kind of women have you met? I don't know ANY gold-diggers, none of my ilk are after any man's assets (ahem).

If you consider the men you refer to in your post as having met there downfall through subjugation by women, then surely that's their fault, isn't it? They should have kept their minds on the job in hand...

It's not a woman's fault that men can't multi-task.

That's why you need a woman in charge, they stay focused.

I think it's a true test of love (for a woman) - love is distracting...

are you lissnin spendi?

smorghsious...ever thought about psychology?

It left Samson with his bloody head scalped and his eyes burned out!

I wasn't even thinking about John The Bloody Baptist!

neither was I

JTBB interesting though

Most definately not!

But I am thinking of doing evening class...

Harmonica for beginners (I kid you not)

If I get dead good - I could put me on youtube...

Flight of the Bumblebee by smorgie smorgiekov.

Apparently, you have to clean the spit out (urghh). Put's me off a bit. I'm prepared to suffer for my music - but there's limits!

The "hey-doncha ya jurst lurve tha' lil ol' gooooold-diggin' moi " ( moi emphatic).(Out loud). Bend left knee, lean forward and cock up derriere ever so slightly position made famous in the Can-Can in days of yore.

And yes- it must be admitted it has its attractions. As long as one doesn't think of the downside potential I mean. Which gets easier in direct proportion to the number of pints one has sunk.

As I haven't been to the pub yet I'm more or less immune. When I'm sober you have to bend the knee further than that.

winkwink.

you go girl dont let the sh1t piss or sp1t put you off

yeah, yeah (yawn)

Grow it long then!

After all, men with long hair are sexy, arn't they?

Let's see.... you've got:

Peter Stringfellow
Status Quo
Bill Bailey (no, forget Bill, he's sexy because he's very funny and he saves wildlife habitats)

Can't think of any others - they've all seen sense. What's your 'doo' like spends? Apart from being un-washed that is...
