Mini-tour of Toronto included, even a shot of House of Lords hairdresser, a block from my apartment.

I think if I was asking for a complete critique of anything that I published on here I would want a PM, whereas just general comments are fine.


The thing about posting the critique publicly is that everyone can read the story and critique, and hopefully come away with something...

And I heard that Larry...and yeah Scooter...there is a $20 entry fee...

You can just send the funds to my PayPal account, I'll send you the address, and I'll make sure you get a good seat...


I think the reason I would want a PM is that I wouldn't want it turned into a slanging match.

Now about this Paypal account, if you would like to send me your details then I will draw out all of the money (whoops sorry, pay the money in). ROTFL.

I think he was trying to be smart or ironic or hip or something even more lame...You can't direct a horse with the title 'a horse with no name'..it will buck you and stuff...It's just not done. I suspect drugs were involved.



..."it will buck you and stuff..."?

Wasn't that my point?
Gee, and me just getting into it!
Nice chatting with you kiddo.
G'Night - take care.

Yeah, most things are my fault -
The hole in the Ozone layer? Me. Careless smoking.
Global warming? Flatulence, I'm afraid.
Over-population? Nuh-uh, that was somebody who stole my identity (i haven't settled Half the law-suits yet)
Joe Cocker, another druggie. Speed, in his case. He needed help///
This is my all-time favourite Ringo song, his first composition.
"You were in a car crash, and you lost your hair" is sublime, almost worthy of...I won't say it.

Good old Ringo. To think he might have been a hair-dresser.

So, what's a Yellow Submarine, and why do we all live in one?
Or, (whispering), was Ringo Starr on drugs as well?


Drugs...I think you're onto something there. Heroin was known as horse in the seventies. So Dewey Bunnell was a heroin addict, like Sid Vicious, except with puffy hair.

Again, Louise, you've opened up a world of possibilities that, 'til now, were unavailable to me. Thank you.

(giggles) I loved this conversation...always reminds me of it..new forum new ermm music(right?)



I still don't get what the deal was with the horse's name. Why didn't he just name it Bessie or Mr. Ed? Or did he expect the horse to tell him what it's name was in it's own language? Did he speak equestrian? Or neigh? Maybe it was a sexual thing, like he was hung like one and thought, what the heck, they're alone, in the desert, no-one else around...make hay while the sun shone, as it were. Maybe he'd always wanted a pony or he just wanted to horse around. Maybe he was parched from all that sand and felt a little horse, or wanted to. I'm trying to be open minded here but, try as I might, I can't make sense of it.

Perhaps you can enlighten me. You're smart, you peruse Wikipedia.
The most recent things I bought were The Black Keys, Boxer Rebellion, Silversun Pickups, Temper Trap, Metric, Muse, Uh Huh Her, Richard Butler, Feist's new album and, thanks to you, Snow Patrol and The Rifles. Everything else has been older stuff I didn't have.
The alternative music site I was a member of, that sent recommendations based on your buying history, went out of business and I don't listen to the radio anymore because I got tired of hearing the same songs over and over again. You know my taste and I love yours - what things did you buy recently?

That would be interesting (and could solve the homeless problem), but I'd prefer deodorant that smelled like cigarettes.



I was given a $15.00 iTunes card at work. Any suggestions about what music I could buy?
You're right, I've never baked anything in my life.
As far as I'm concerned, an oven is a mysterious device beneath the stove-top burners that people used to warm cold pizza before microwaves were invented.

Glad you're feeling a bit better.

And now for something completely different (to coin a phrase).



By the way, I hope you're feeling better kitten.
