Beautiful, soul enriching, glorious music No contest!
-
The shiny wants a nice relaxing time with me
-
Err ... no, we're not mad. Parker put it so well. Perhaps we should agree to differ!
-
I forgot to say in my last post - thanks for the invitation, Tim. I do find myself back here often. One thing you don't have to worry about: I won't be writing any poems. I love working with the language but I lack completely any creative spark - which is one reason why I enjoy being around those who do have it.

Shell shock was a term coined during WW1 but most of the time it was seen as an excuse to avoid frontline action. Pat Barker's Regeneration triology of novels (involving Sassoon and Owen as characters) shows both the new approach (recognising the psychological harm done to people and treating as such) and the old (revolting, dehumanising, almost torture).

We don't want 'the precious' to be smelling of fish. Come with me ...
-
Same here - I'd look at the notification and wonder what I'd signed up to... Never mind, starting to read it properly now!

While you're hugging each other, I'll look after the shiny, ok ...
-
Not if I 'exchange' it for some Pepsi Thank you very much!

To forgive somebody who has hurt you so badly needs the sort of strength I don't think I have. Not only that but Rob allows David back into his life wholeheartedly. I would still have suspicions that the leopard hadn't changed its spots. Truly, love conquers all things... in this story at least!
-
I need to take MY shiny for a walk.
-
*The poet loses the power of speech when his ears are assaulted... * Can't charm me! Mine
-
Where's that bottle of Pepsi I bought in specially...? Got it! Mine, I do believe .
-
*Scares the bird off with some truly awful 'playing'* Mine
-
Oh god! Lectures, training sessions, conference offerings ... You describe so perfectly the tedium of being trapped somewhere I can't escape. Because I have to be there, I can't somehow allow my mind to wander freely so yes, I stare at things I wouldn't normally even look at in a fug of tedium where time seems to stand still. The first four lines nail it for me. Wonderful!
-
Errr ... Let me explain: I have everything, you have nothing. Clear enough?
-
Not scared! Mine..

It looks like it. When some one asked the same question about another author last week, the answer was that the stories had been removed at the author's request.

It is one of my favourite stories, period. As the review says, not for the faint of heart but an enthralling, wonderful piece of writing which took me through a whole gamut of emotions. You know it's good when, months later, passages and scenes keep surfacing in my head. Unforgettable!
-
*Plays the Dance of the sugar plum fairy (or tries to ) * *Fairy flies off in disgust but leaves the shiny behind* Mine!
-
No ... Let me correct you: I have the shiny, you have nothing.
-
That's probably a matter for discussion *drones on and on and on until the lemur keels over through boredom* Mine
-
*The musician tickles the lemur until the shiny is back with its rightful owner.*

Although I've been receiving notifications for this, I haven't been reading it seriously (I'm one of those people who don't like reading episode to episode generally ). I've dipped in occasionally to see how it's going and whether I think I'm going to like it, but now's the time to take the plunge and start at the beginning, properly. I'm going to enjoy this!

*Assumes this is a compliment as it happens regularly and so the shiny is the prize ...* Thanks, mine.
