I'm sure she'll love The Wizard of Oz for her first trip to the movies, Tonya...though I remember being freaked out by the monkeys first time I saw it. I think Disney's Pinocchio was the first movie I saw.
Coffee for me please, Curvy ?
Good luck with the move, Annie.. I'm sure it'll be worth it
Good morning.. weather update from Ireland is 9° ? like spring has sprung.. I'll have a coffee.. hope everyone has the Friday feeling, I can almost smell the weekend already
I'll have a tea please.. nice and soothing....
Annie, I can't imagine that heat.. it's a balmy 5° here today.. all the snow has melted.. think an early night and a run tomorrow morning before work is in order.. ?
A hot rum would hit the spot nicely, Rump.
I definitely promise not to be good ?
Raises my glass to Curvy as she enjoys her post work beer ?
Survived Wednesday and driving to work through snow.. home with the fire lit.. a hot whiskey would be just the ticket, Rump ?
Good morning.. need a coffee before facing the week.. apparently today is Blue Monday.. the most depressing day of the year.. . well I say screw it.. let's just stay in the bar, it is also Super Wolf Blood Moon Monday ;)
I'm a philistine.. well not really but most poetry doesn't move me.. I like stories, I like plot.. I love descriptive plot that paints me a world so real I can touch it but I still need a story.. poetry gives me a feeling, not an experience.. having said that, there are poets like John Cooper Clarke who used humour and biting satire in their poetry.. His poem 'I wanna be yours' is now on the gcse syllabus so things are changing but most poetry taught when I was at school was just so dull.. with the exception of Seamus Heaney.
Also, having an anguished Smiths fan writing me bad poetry when I was 16 also didn't help and perhaps led to me being determined never to write anyone a poem
Anyway, not sure if I answered your question Nicola.
Happy birthday Larry ?
I need a drink or several.. a gin and tonic will do for starters ?
Congratulations to you all... I don't think Christmas would have been anywhere near as much fun without all those competition stories to read.. it was impossible to call so well done to the judges on somehow selecting a top 3.. and 10. Looking forward to the next one already x
Kiss above, looking into her eyes
Id love all three, but start with a drink anyway x
Red wine.. a nice Bordeaux superior ;)
A fistful of cunt (dollars)
