John Dunne - The Flea c.1635
MARK but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is ;
It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be.
Thou know'st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead ;
Yet this enjoys...
I believe this is known as a half rhyme - a technique used by many of the more famous poets. I say well done for utilising a half rhyme to produce a witty ditty (which is a full rhyme for those in the know) which is a half ryhme.
Simple really. (that doesn't rhyme at all)
Chap with his hand shading his eyes...."OK shipmates.....I believe that with a fair wind and tide we should be in port in time for tiffin.....Hurrah!!!!"
Not strictly true - was prevented from taking a particular road between Wadhurst and Crowborough due to an "incident". In fact, police were raiding a large building that has been an Islamic "school" for the past 6 years. Everyone is aware of its existance around here but no one really knows...
She does not know the best way to transport soft fruit around the World or have a favourite way of transporting soft fruit. Useless - she's now ignoring me!
I was at that MK U2 bash - you are spot on about the rain and U2 coming on. Also seem to remember that the only stage prop used by Mr Bragg was a pot plant.
Icy - that's the problem though - I am devoid of expectation - infact I am too indifferent to even be devoid of expectations.
This is not what it should be like!

For the first time in just over 20 years of support I find that I am totally indifferent to the start of a new season. No anticipation, no expectation no nothing.
I need inspiration...please. This is a horrible empty feeling that I cannot remember feeling at the start of August before.

Does anyone have my biro? It's blue with a special clear body so that you can see the workings. If you press the sharp end against paper and move it back and forth it leaves a mark. It has great sentimental value so I would really appreciate its return.
Its return would also make my black biro...
Here they be in no particular order - this is a Tuesday list and I reserve the right to change my selection on other days of the week.
A House - I am the Greatest
Undertones - Undertones
Sex Pistols - Nevermind......
The Clash - London Calling
Slade - Sladest
Ben Watt - North Marine Drive
Blue...
Victims of the Riddle - Toyah. No, really....go listen. When Toyah was a band not a personality driven by a money hungry label. Joel Bogan - where are you now?
The Clash, the Undertones, the Ramones, Blue Aeroplanes, The Popguns and A House in a photo finish, followed by the Sex Pistols (because they were instrumental in waking the lethargy of a nation).
Throw in a little Siouxsie and the Banshees, Tom Waits, Echo and the Bunnymen, Buzzcocks...
