thanks for the comment on 'domestosterone' John - I'm not acquainted with any 'flash' ladies I'm afraid - perhaps you could point me in the right direction ;-)

Thanks for the comment on the war one.

You`re right about the medal, that custard was well worse than the bombs.

That young blond, who sat languidly licking stamps and eying all of us contemptuously, was my very first impossible Godess.

thanks John
'the sparkle' words & vocal by yours truly, music by yours truly and a guy called Nev Barker, who is the bass player on the track - there are some more in the vault - I'm adding them one a month at month ends - the next one 'Northern Lights' is quite psychedelic - some of the earlier ones are on my profile page - glad you liked it :-)

Sewerby park wow playing golf on balmy red hot days,late afternoons happy times for me.
The boats, you said you didn't love Brid, but do you not remember the pleasure cruises on the Bridlington queen etc? I remember being 17 and so full of myself looking pensive and feeling handsome day dreaming in all these places along the ne coast. Truly happy

Hello Richard.
Danes Dyke - yes. In fact, we've just had a week at Sewerby.
The boats? I'm sure I will have as a kid. I'm absolutely certain about the Hispaniola, though; and bashing the Germans in Peasholm Park!

thanks for commenting on 'noticed' John - I know what you mean about life/wife/knife/strife - but like to think you can be creative with adjacent words to give them a bit more of a unique slant - hopefully that worked. Glad you enjoyed it

thanks for your insightful comments on 'drunk' John. The music was an attempt at a carousel (spinning) and a music box playing a lullaby (sleep) so you were pretty much spot on.

Also loving 'I have a bream' - reminded me of what i used to shout when i got home from school - "Mam, Im here"

Hey, John,

No probs re: comment upon schadenfreude. I can understand your position, mine being somewhat different is bye the bye.

Besides I can always be relied upon to waffle out an opinion. Hehe

Glad you liked my latest - thx. 11 elections - crickey!

Best

JC - thanks for the courtesy, especially as I can appreciate your own situation - both physically and career-wise. No one can doubt the achievements and importance of unions. Regrettably, a great industry was taken for a one-way trip by less than honest political leadership. I have a friend here in town - retired from London Transport (mechanical side) and he is scathing about the prevalent union leadership in his old job - no names, no pack drill!
Personally, I accept being abused as a sign of a paucity of worthwhile argument from the abuser.
Cheers.

Thanks for the comment about "Paper Chase". I used to buy the broadsheets, then none at all, followed by the occasional purchase of the D.E. - with its free TV magazine on Saturday (and its campaign agin' an overbearing EU). The London Evening Standard is now FREE here in town - so that makes up most of my current newspaper reading these days. I was telling Yvonne B. that I once had a letter published in The Times (THOSE were the glory days!) challenging noted pundit and author Bernard Levin about his use of the term "agent provocateur". Nowadays, it's more likely to be a moan printed in a local "freebie" letter page!!

Now I notice that Julian( WOL) has left her
address above. I'll leave that to you.

many thanks for your kind and insightful comments on 'Beneath The Watch Tower'. I hope I do know what I'm doing, but day by day the doubts grow :-) I notice you give very positive feedback around the whole of WOL and it's a genuinely commendable gift that you deliver

JC - I have tried to locate Yvonne B. by clicking on her name when locating comment by
her - and also by searching under her name. In
both instances, there was no sight of any PROFILE PAGE or place where I could see I was able to leave a message.
I hope you can resolve this with Isobel - apropos my previous comment about my own problem with "permissions". ALSO - does YB
HAVE a profile page - as seen in yours and mine?
If not, has this been deleted and does she know? As I said before...weird!!
Cheers.

JC - as a matter of interest, I have been in
touch with Isobel (moderator on WOL) about having that "permissions" issue with another
site (from a post on I tried to read from 13/2/2013 - "All Grown Up"). In that instance, she said the user profile had been
deleted and that the post in question had
hung around for whatever reason and should go in due course. Weird!
I will pass your message to Yvonne and hope
I don't get a repeat of the problem myself when
doing so.

A big black kit n' kaboodle,

With his arse up a tree full of shite!

Hello Frederick,
For some reason the site wouldn't let me get onto your Profile page yesterday, so apologies for the slow thanks for commenting on "Sonnet 8". Also in respect of "Hotel Fawlty Towers".
Yes, they have started doing re-runs of the series and surprisingly the humour hasn't dated one bit.
