Pierrot Lunaire

Edited for brainfart.

You're still flatulent.

The question to Teare is a real killer

Question:

 

Who will pay for all this - I'm guessing your favourite island?

 

Scaramanga's paying? Result.

Must drag myself down to your level of thought...

You'll never make it.

What would you say is first?

Rubbish you dick.

Rubbish - it's biggest asset is the most under-used. Agriculture...

.....it's second.

You lot are so incestuous. I wouldn't have a clue what a single one of you looked like IRL.

I believe billions of people have ridden around on a bicycle.

Exactly.

No offence to Mark Cavendish, but I believe the Manxmen who put their lives on the line and fought in WW2 might have a better claim to that title.

Nah. Millions did likewise. Hardly anyone has done what the Cav has done.

I think Mark Cavendish might just be the greatest Manxman that ever lived.

Thanks for the replies, but neither Phoenix* nor Window Doctor are glass suppliers are they? I'm sure they'd just send away to the mainland for units. Which I am more than capable of doing myself.

*Note order of letters in this particular diphthong.

Anybody bought any of these on island for refurb purposes? Recommendations for supply only?

How about Nuclear Winterland?

^^..That is Ace.. ^^ ; ))

Release the hounds.

I am gone: it is a natural thing.

Was my going cruel, or a mercy?

But even if a mercy

My going would be cruel,

For you only say such things of ends mercifully relieved.

 

Was it sudden, or lingering?

At home, or hospice, or with tubes and machines?

However it was, its rawness touches you now as it cannot touch me.

 

I am gone, of me little will soon remain,

I will be dust and soil and the things that live and grow there,

And those that eat them too.

 

Where I was there is now just a void

Which I want you to try to fill with memories of laughter, and smiles,

And getting on.

Memories which now make the tears come.

 

And sometimes you will think I am still here,

But it is not true for I am in this box and gone.

 

But yet something does remain;

My life may have reached its end,

But the things I did and created linger still

And I can still influence you through your memories of me

Now left in your care.

 

I hope that what I leave behind will have some permanence.

And that you will pass on my inheritance to others;

And that they will want to make it theirs to pass on again.

 

Remember me, fondly.

Remember the emotions I caused and cause.

Those impulses then and now are what made me a part of you.

And with my death they are all that remain.

Of course, you could always let God into your life. It could do wonders for your poetry.

Chinahand, one of my sons likes to sit on the back patio on a clear night and starwatch. Could you recommend a decently priced telescope that would further his enjoyment. I passed Jessops the other week but the salesman could be less helpful if he tried. I have since discovered that their telescopes are not up to much anyway. Any pointers gratefully received

I have a Meade telescope - they cater for everyone from the beginner to the dedicated. If you've only got a small telescope don't get too powerful a lense - the power really looses alot of light and you'll end up with a very dim image. It's much better to use a lower power lense and go for more open views. You not going to see a dim galaxy with a entry level scope, but you'll have great fun with a less powerful lense looking at Andromeda, the Orion Cluster and the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules etc etc.

 

To be honest you can see all of these things and get loads of enjoyment with just a good pair of binoculars mounted on a tripod.

 

Thanks Chinahand. I will pass this onto him

Sock puppet exposé.

carpet/flooring is flat so you can walk on it, if it were metres squared, you would live in it or on it.

You could use some basic mathematics lessons.

one is two dimensional

the other is four dimensional

 

flooring is two dimensional

room space is four dimensional

 

so, therefore, flooring is sqm

You must live in a parallel universe.

Ramsey bakery bread is awful,shoprite in house for me.

I believe that the ready mixed dough is supplied to Shoprite by RB - Shoprite just finish the bake.

I also believe that. Having been told as much by Shoprite staff. Funny how the mind works.

Mönchengladbake.

PL You must be on a wind up! Ramsey Bakery bread is a disgusting concoction that should not be allowed to be called bread. It stays fresh for about 30 minutes after it's baked and then it goes downhill. I gave up buying it long ago as it was for ever going mouldy before it even has chance to go stale. Give me Hovis anytime

I suspect that might say more about your manky spore infested pantry than Ramsey Bakery bread. Which isn't that bad. Maybe you're exaggerating for effect. Although exactly what effect I'm not sure.

Why does my own personal opinion bother you so much?

I'm not bothered. I just think you're over egging the pudding somewhat.

Nope, it really is vile

No it isn't, you're exaggerating for effect. Although what effect I'm not quite sure. Possibly the effect of heartier blowing of your own floury trumpet.

their bread is vile.

Worst "bread" I've ever tasted...

Come off it - it isn't that bad. I quite like it.

Ooh, my sponge is bigger than your sponge.
