  1. Never having heard of Alphaville before (must be something to do with the age difference between us, clo), I just had to go and seek them out. Lyrically not as good as Dylan's (that's just my opinion, of course), but I still like it. Great video to it, as well. And the singer is certainly very easy on the eye, as well!
  2. Yes, but it does sound a lot like the word flattery, now doesn't it, young Albert.... (Especially if you had that speech impediment that Danny Murphy suffered from in his younger days... )
  3. Especially for you, Clo...
  4. Philately will get you anywhere, Bob! (As the stamp collector said to the postmistress.)
  5. I actually got some writing done this evening. (yay!) I've been struggling for over a week with Chapter 3 of my Fragments of Sean story. I've made numerous attempts at starting it that have just been rubbish and only fit for the bin. Finally got nearly 300 words in, and this time it seems okay. Hope to get this chapter finished in the next number of days. I've the next chapter of The Charmed Life Of Danny Murphy basically written now. Just have to give it a thorough edit.
  6. There's probably a very fine line between wise old man and stupid old fool...
  7. I wouldn't know, duggie... Maybe you should ask one of all those there they that say it.
  8. Don't let me see you kicking any puppies. Not if you hope to eventually be as old as I am.
  9. They also say: Only the good die young.
  10. I think it's simply a choice between dying young or growing old. I've made my choice.
  11. But we currently have a combined age of 141... (Unless one or both of us is fibbing in our GA profiles)
  12. G'day, young Albert!
  13. Hope you get good news, Gary!
  14. It's not nuts to feel that way, Albert. It's what's known as survivor guilt (or survivor syndrome). To be honest, what I still feel this day is sometimes an intense anger when I remember the reactions of the media, the governments, and many so-called christians to the outbreak of the disease. So many innocent people could have been saved had there been a different attitude. I'd better shut up now, before someone tells me that I'm breaking GA rules by discussing politics in this forum.
  15. I think my last one was for my 70th,,, But I have a 120th party to attend later this year. My sister's 70th and her daughter's 50th. You and me both, Albert. I thank my lucky star for that!
  16. I'd be more likely to just go and gatecrash the party.
  17. Hey yourself, Bobster!
  18. Nah. Hearsay is more likely
  19. So I decided a few evenings ago to head off to the Wild Atlantic Coast and commune with the natural world... Trusty Nikon came with me again.
  20. Sowwie, Gary
  21. I think Gary may have been called SAM in his early years... (Stone Aged Man)
  22. Hey, Gary! Great to hear that you're feeling a bit better today.
  23. Takes me back, as well. Back to when I was a teenager, and a very good friend and myself would often sing it whenever we got caught out in the rain on one of our many days out together...
  24. I'm good, thanks! Just finished a funding application for a local LGBT+ support group I am involved with. How's yourself?
