Interesting film - I get your point about ideas over personality - but perpetuates the Guy Fawkes ‘lie’

A very philosophical friend asked me, “What is Earth without art?”

I just looked at him and said, “Eh?”

Hey, Gene can i get extra frosting please?

Impressive…

My obsession with removing splinters is getting a little bit out of hand.

I once had to drive 50 miles through snow and ice to get a computer part I needed…… It was a hard drive.

It’s horrible to be laid low. Thanks for asking - I am ok. The pain comes and goes. Currently enjoying some rather effective anti-inflammatory jabs but it was a huge step for me to have them.

The dog is a good comfort but he would be a useless sled dog. I let him pull and then when I do let him go he sits down and wonders why…. he’s an odd breed for sure!

George Harrison’s involvement is one of my favourite facts..

Hope you are feeling better!

I really would.. and have done a couple of low-key SN ones lately. I think ‘master’ would be a stretch though!

As we have discussed before; the tightness of the form and the freestyle nature create a thoroughly satisfying/frustrating tension :)

That is sooooo good. Bravo.

Great fun seeing who could post first.

‘Where snail?’ lol

A marvel of consistency (for the snail) and frequent intelligent comments (on economics)

And I hope he is still exercising… and ‘getting as big as a barn door’

Deleting comments is no different to a conversation in real life….

Whispers on the breeze, Carried by restless wind, And leaving no trace.

And @nemo is around every once in a while.

"The axe forgets what the tree remembers"

Running in Japan is quite a unique experience by all accounts..

Adharananad Finns ‘The Way of the Runner’ and some of the races in Murakami’s ‘What I talk about when I talk about running’ are both very insightful.

I used to have a fear of rock climbing… But now I’m feeling a little boulder

El sueño de la razón produce monstruos

Is there a greater monster than being turned into a crowd of mindless automatons? And yet we are literally sleep-walking into that. No one actually watches a zombie film and says ‘I want to be that’ do they?

Rain whispers softly, Waking a world from its sleep, A new day begins.

I have an injury that make it difficult for me to type (hence my infrequent posts)

Really enjoyed the England vs India Test. That last day though…

It’s very, very dark humour. It’s gritty and French (with subtitles)

Anyway, you have the free time as there isn’t any decent cricket on till December now :D
