Sounds great. But why would I want to kidnap some local kid when there is plenty of totty in the group I could drug and chain? Keep it in the family eh

I think that most people 'can' be smart but a lot of them aren't.. I have just mentioned on another thread the mirror effect. It's relevance here is that it depends how you look at it. If you treat people positively then they are more likely to react to you positively and that brings out the best in them including their intelligent responses. But this is most and by no means not all. And then of course there are different kinds of smarts. Some of them a sneaky, cruel and only do harm. Also I don't think that everyone is smart. There are those who are ignorant because they choose to be, are too lazy not to be or just simply can't see above the shit they wallow in. That is why opinions and stated 'fact' can't be taken at face value and have to be filtered through your own experience, knowledge and smarts. An incredibly intersting topic from a smart guy

I hope you appreciate how hungry I am right now I actually like Spotted Dick if it's done right. It's like a sweet dumpling. I love currants and raisins and if you put sugar in the douh mix it is fab. I love fried cheese. They have been doing them in McDonalds as kind of promotions, with mozarella and they are awesome

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUN:music: Hope you have a great day and a great year to come

Ah couldn't I do with a JD right now.. not with coke though eeew. Straight on the rocks is the only way to drink any whisky or whiskey. I had a simiar experience years ago. The stripper was awesome. He was about 6ft with flawless ebony skin, the most kissable lips and to die for eyes. But when he decided to wrap me in his cape and flap his cock in my face... and trust me it was more than 9" When he was standing with his back to us on the stage he could get it to slap the crack of his arse... it was just eeeew... get that thing away from me. Now those who know me will know that I am very partial to sausage but there's a time and a place and that wasn't it. Sigh. I can only picture that scen if the people involved were 25 which they are in my mind's eye. WOW there's some hot chiks in there... and you're cousin is smoking hot too. Of course it's all in my mind. Unfortunately I have never had the experience of finding myself in the 'surrounded by beautiful people' situation which is probably just as well because I would overheat and blow a gasket.

:wub:I agree with Menorain and Mark. You are one awesome pussy cat. Don't kill the passion hun Sometimes there may be need to apologise for what you do (and that's not a personal you) but never, ever apologise for who and what you are.

Stephen King

That's me

Hell if there's enough of us we'll take Soho TO the British Musuem

I'd certainly listen to yours, not sure I'd have the courage to try it myself. Go for it. What's the worst that can happen

HAPPY BIRTHDAY:music: Have a good day my friend, :wub: and an even better night

Me too. While you are looking around as you clearly are better than I am at finding things I have been searching for a particular paintng for a long long time and I can't find it. I can believe that I ever allowed it to be deleted. Not going to belabour the point but it means a lot to me. if you see it please let me know where. It's actually an angel of death although the wings are kind of graffiti'd on the wall behind. The painting itself is of a man in a dark suit with long black hair. He looks tired and kind of word down and someone I used to know could have been the model I would be forever in your debt it you found it.

I have been a totally besotted fan of this wonderful artist for years. Many of her paintigs have inspired my work... stories, characters, art.. etc. I had no idea there was anything on you tube about her and I have seen most of her work on Deviant Art. However Phana14 very helpfully mentioned that he had seen a you tube and I went to look. I hope this link will show you what I saw. If you haven't checked out her work please do.

Oh just great!!! We've been telling you that all along and you just push us aside. And then this 99 year old walking scarecrow comes waltzing in and suddenly it's all... oooh I'm blushing. HUH!!! *flounces off* Jealous much?

Paul Newman. Okay so he's dead and I wouldn't want to look like like his corpse but as he was in that picture... hell yeah. Imagine all the hot women I'd get to bed looking like that Men too

Awww.... You have a flowery pillow

I wouldn't want to look like any of them... even if I was a man. And I wouldn't want to go out with them either. Ugh Good Gods man!!! I would SO want him... to look like or sleep with... those eyes!!!!!! Okay I'm afriad I have to disagree. I would so want to look like AND sleep with most of them. And if I could sing like her I would even want to look like Celine. And I'd sleep with her if she sang to me. Shudder

Forest every time. I have a dream that one day i will find my true love and we will live in a cottage with a river flowing at the bottom of the garden with the forest coming down to sip the water on the other side. We will be totally self sufficient with a wood burning stove and a generator (I'm not prepared to give up ALL my comforts). I will spend my days painting and writing and he will do whatever he wants. We will share the work in the garden, although he will have to chop the wood. I will bring him cold glasses of cider to slake his thirst while he does it. I will grow herbs in my herb garden and make potions and preparations to treat us if we are ill, to make the house smell good and to attract bees to the garden. Every day we will walk along the banks of the river hand in hand and bless the day we met and the chances and choices that brought us to this place together. Until I meet him I choose the city because being stuck half way up a mountain in a Welsh mining valley is not the place to meet a man who would want to share the dream with me.

Yep. Been reading the story and a number of things come to mind. It's a tired old topic, time travel but I like the way that it has been given a somewhat inspirational twist. The humanity of the experiences was what impressed me the most. tTe bittersweetness of meeting with people who have died, the tension of trying to decide whether or not to take steps that change the future, the initial hesitancy and growing confidence in making bigger and bigger changes. I initially wondered at the fact that almost all of the referenced to the future Davey made in the beginning of the story were about military events but that was made clear when it was mentioned he was in the Navy. I suppose that would have focussed his mind on those things. I'm not sure that if I went back 20 years I would even remember what happened globally in between. I like Davey's logic about keeping changes in his close circle rather than extending them to the world as a whole. The chances are that the wider the group of people who knew about him and the further away from his own family and friends, the more likely it would be that he would be manipulated and exploited. I am surprised that he told anyone the truth, and I am somewhat suprised that he was beleived and accepted so easily. And then I remember they are twelve years olds. The world isnt as complex when your twelve, your mind isn't as closed and there is still room for magic in the world. I would have liked to see more of what Davey was experiencing on a day to day basis regarding the differences between 1984 and 2004. The way of life, the use of technology, or not, the different teaching styles, clothes, attitudes. Yes, there is a little of that and perhaps that is enough but I would have been intersted in seeing more of that. I also something think that the boys are too mature for 12. My son is 10 and my nephews 11 and 12 and I suppose I am basing my opinions on them but the boys, to be, often seem to be behaving like older teenagers. 12 is a difficult age and it seems as if there is still a lot more immaturity lurking under the surface than is shown here. Okay davey is more mature and perhaps Brandon could have been but to have 4 very different 12 year olds behaving like 15 year olds is sometimes a little too much. I have to admit that I was sucked into the story and it was only when I was thinking about what to write here that this came to mind. I went back and re read it with this in mind and it became obvious to me in lots of places. I think the dance is one of them. Everyone at the dance behaved more maturely than 12. Having said that I WAS sucked into the story and I loved the way that Davey's relationship wih Brian developled. I hope that they will stay together although I think that Brian's possessiveness might become a problem. I think I am going to definitiely read on because I am hoping that at some point we will get to see the results of the changes that are being made, not just with Davey's relationships but also the wider ripples in his family and community. i suspect that they wll have a wider effect than he expected. I think the writing style was fluid and vivid with enough personal deatail to flesh out the story and make it an experience rather than just a read. There were places where I thought it went a little flat and there were some parts that just didn't do it for me but they were very few and far between. I liked the first day of school part very much and I giggled at the Hobbit discussion. The comparisons that Davey made to his first first day were quite bittersweet and it made me feel sorry for the friends he'd made the first time round who had one less friend this time, even as i was glad for Davey that he was doing better this time. My favourite part of the whole five chapters was the first time Davey and Brian kissed. That whole scene was just beautiful, although I think that it was, again, a little mature from Brian's point of view. i get the feeling that of the three... Brandon, Trevor and Brian... Brian is the least mature but this scene could easily have been written about two adults. It was very emotional, very touching and thankfully fairly sexless. I don't like reading about sex between younger children. I suppose it's having one of my own... well two if you count the 24 year old. I can remember her at 13 and the drama and stress she was under on a daily basis. Anyway... at risk of ranting on for half an hour I'll just say this.... it was a great story, a good experience and I will be reading the rest which can't be bad. I'm not promising not to skip to the end to make sure that Davey and Brian end up together before reading the rest of it though

Good greif you are both gorgeous. Hylas, when you've finished with the brains can I have the rest of the blood. *licks lips* Ow cut my tongue on my teeth.. mmmmm... bloooood

I don't want to look like Q Elixabeth I. I hate dentists but I hate toothache more and with her teeth I'd be just about insane and would probably be chopping people's heads off willy nilly.

Aha. The English Language. Don't you just love it

No you don't. You need a smile. I like the colour of the wall behind you. I have a red wall too Please tell me that isn't a Harry Potter poster on the wall

I didn't say that's how I write. In fact I have said many times in many places that I, too write the stories that come to me and need to be told. I just said I consider the readership when I choose whether or not to post what I write. At the end of the day I write for myself and don't care if no one reads my stories. I have no interest in being published or extending my readership. I am happy that people here read and seem to like what I write. If that ends it ends and if no one reads what I write it won't stop me writing or obtaining intese pleasure and fulfillment in doing so. Just so you know.

We...ell. I'm not COMPLETELY convinced.
