Hello MC,
Glad you liked my rip-off of a Simon and Garfunkel classic. I once heard someone do, "Fridge Full of Muddy Water" about a canal walk.

Wotcha yerself, MC.
There really is a railway underpass in Castleford called "Tickle Cock Lane", so named for its use by "courting" couples.
I gather there was also Gropec*nt Lane, much frequented by ladies of the night, in London until the planners got their way and renamed it.

..oh, and thankyou for trying to hunt down Yvonne.
I think the problem was with her Profile, not with any of us.
It seems sorted now.

hello MC,
Thanks for your thoughts on "Progress and The Diggy Box".
Curiously we had a small portable which we used in the caravan which could pick up East German TV when we were at Filey, but struggled to pick up British channels!

Hello MC,
Many thanks for your thoughts on "Our Gert" and "The plays of William Shakespeare...". The former is as close as I've got to writing a love song! The latter was inspired by an old joke about a bloke who wrote some of the world's best melodies but they never got published, like, "Life is just a bowl of f****g cherries".
On another front I don't seem able to write my thanks on Yvonne Brunton's Profile page. It tells me I don't have the necessary permissions.
As a favour do you think that you might post on her page to say that I am unable to do so? I feel terribly impolite not being able to respond to the kind comments she makes.

Hello MC,
Thanks for your thoughts on "You've Met The Met". My own role in the strike as a manager was to help staff the pits on a care and maintenance basis, preventing them fopm gassing up or flooding so there'd be something for the miners to come back to!

Hello MC,
Thankyou for your thoughts on "Sell-By Dates". I've worked in my time in a number of food factories so I have seen the care that goes into keeping food safe. But I can't help suspect that supermarkets enjoy the prospect of us having to chuck stuff so we have to replace it.
How long before there's a "Discard Date" on clothing

Hello MC,
Thankyou for your thoughts on "I Blame The Scapegoats". It really does amaze me that people seem not to realise that we are all the problem. It's the mentality of being stuck in a traffic jam and blaming all the other motorists.

You're right MC. I like work with a good verse and a good -I was going to say ryhme but thats not stictly true, I like a good rythym and something with a good lyrical quality, and yes, something thats uplifting rather than negative or downbeat is always appealing.

Glad you liked "If". I had a lot of time for Cloughie - probably the best manager I've seen.
He took 2 mediocre teams from the lower divisions, Forest and Derby, and won 2 Championships and 2 European Cups with them.

Hello MC,
Thanks for your thoughts on "The Walrus and the Carpenter" and "White Rabbit". I seem to be giving Lewis Carroll a bit of a battering, which is, in fact, the very opposite of my respect for him.

Hello again, MC.
Just noticed your comments on "Cat Nap". A shame you're not familiar with the original "Rat Trap". It really is very good and doesn't deserve to be so poorly parodied.
On another level, I wonder what sub-conscious machinations were going on my head. (We have just moved my dad into a home).

I wonder if we will look back in 50 years time (I know I won't) and think, "Facebook, tweets, celebrity status, budget TV - what was all that about?".
I hope so because if we don't we will be in a very shallow place.

Thanks for your comments on Malcolm's Memorial Walk, MC. It's funny about some blokes and poetry ... they're a bit surprised when you suddenly reveal a penchant for it after years of being apparently 'normal'. Actually, long-standing friends, male or female, can be a bit like that, I find. They think they know you, and then ... sorry, maybe I'm straying off the point.

Thank you MC, for your comment on my piece. There are times when cathartic release is your closest friend. I felt, I thought, I wrote.... I felt different. Emotion is so selfish, for want of a better word.

I have been reading some of your work. I really enjoy the way you have a knack of seeing beyond things..... and creating an image out of something, (which could be mundane) and then forcing the reader to create his/her interpretation of it. I read your last posting four times and each time I found something more.

Well done.x
