Hope you guys won't mind a newbie offering a short extract which has some particular significance for me:
We are the Pilgrims, Master; we shall go
Always a little further: it may be
Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow,
Across that angry or that glimmering sea.
From 'The Golden Road to Samarkand' by James Elroy Flecker.
Digga.
Us guys just call it "music" nowadays, but if we have to describe it, It's "country"............and if it ain't country, it ain't music!
Next time you get a problem just send me a pm (.....oops)
There's lotsa talk about morals on here. I believe anyone using this site can easily be described in the wider world as having no morals: "morals" have always been so tightly tied to "religion" it's almost impossible to separate the two ideas.
I would use another description i.e. "principles": nothing to do do with religion, or any legal code. We all understand and stick to our own and others' "principles" in our behaviour and basically these principles can be described as "don't do anything to anyone that you wouldn't want them to do to you".
(Of course it doesn't work if what you really, really want is for somebody to stab you you up the arse with a red-hot spear!)
Last time I cried was my Mum's funeral - at the do afterwards when I'd sunk half a bottle of brandy. The nearest I get is a wet eye at some of the "moving" movies, or stuff like Diana's funeral procession, or the space-shuttle break-up. I don't control it, this is how it works - for me.
I'm brand new on here but definitely would be interested, tho' can't make today or tomorrow. I'll keep an eye on this topic, hoping for developments. Great idea!
Hi all, I'm a newbie virgin on here, spotted the Scottish thread, so thought I'd intro myself. This is my first post, so please be gentle with me lol
