    A good book
    anyone read it ? :shock:

    Mr Pilsen – bit of a sourpuss at times
    but did post the odd bit of cream.
    An eccentric in the real sense and
    I can spot ’em.
    Started out as Tormentor – returned
    as the tormented.
    Brilliant though and difficult to
    pin down and very secretive which made
    him all the more interesting.
    Forum ticker can relax for a while now
    but he may come back as the second hand
    or the hunchback of notre clock.
    The makings of a good detective :wink:

    Billion – bit of a fusspot at times and
    his own man. Hard to pin down and knew
    what he liked and said it in no uncertain
    times when he felt challenged. Forum
    of the year winner – possibly our oldest
    winner. His age and experience shone through
    his posts like a beacon – possibly on the
    dying list and in need of recussitation :(

    Mr E – he might have been on it :mrgreen:

    extremely clever with words to the point of being hysterical – possibly on a flight to Switzerland but secretly
    bought a return ticket !

    Ginger – recharging his batteries. Brilliant performer
    and may well come back as Macbeth. We are all awaiting
    the encore 8) – very much in the land of the living dead

    To be valued or not to be valued , that is the question:
    Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of outrageous Billion,
    Or to take arms against a Mr E of troubles
    And by opposing them end them. To die—to sleep,
    No more; and by a sleep to say we end
    The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
    That flesh is heir to: ’tis a consummation
    Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
    To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there’s the rub
    and then to wake and take up arms and seek
    out a new Fists of Fury or battle old ante Kings
    and lie in wait for fresh hordse of beelzebubs

    Tis must be said these three men of grey
    including P who also lost his way
    so precious all to lay so deep in hay
    for cows to look in wonder and horses neigh
    at why their limbs lie heavy and not in play

    better be careful about the clock
    they’ll think I’m P or D or a bot
    and completely off my head
    it’s half past three mother
    I’m coming now to bed :mrgreen:
    a sock over the post
    hang on I must already be in
    or maybe its one or other
    of the four bloody ghosts :|

    (P – Potted P***** … D – Dickie D*****)

    Oh, it is so, so late
    and this darkened hour
    is the outpost of the soul itself
    Not one hour had passed
    between tea and the pulling of the curtain
    as these deep and dark knights
    Draw deep and commence their cyclic commandments
    Sleep is for the weak
    and there will be a disco on Saturday
    whether you want it or not
    Man up, be brave
    Nothing is more assured
    than D’eath
    It may be a hover or a more traditional type of tool
    but it will sythe us down the same
    Embrace it
    Welcome it
    Laugh in the face of of it
    Hide from it, run from it even
    Although the odds of 7/4 against look meagre
    Turn from the dark, and the light and run. Run fast
    as there is more grey there than can ever be digested.

    Great version of this with Gilmour on guitar.

    And a rather good documentary of said Gilmour was on BBC 2 last night. Check it out on the i if you missed it. Well worth watching.

    This is a great tune from ELO. Sadly, Horace is now a fat old man and is nicknamed Horace Blimp. Poor Horace

    Some say that knowledge is something that you never have.

    I would doubt that very much.
    He’s got a phone number for a gapless Ian Davies and has phoned him, but still thinks that I invented him :wacko: :wacko:
