Here it is again, Christmas Eve... Time to eat, drink and be merry... From one of my favourite comedies of all-time....Here's Blackadder's Christmas Carol....MERRY XMAS TF.
This is one of my favourite songs ever. Sometimes it's hard to justify the actions of the English in days gone by...It brings a tear to my eye.
BACK HOME IN DERRY
(Bobby Sands)
In 1803 we sailed out to sea, out from the sweet town of Derry
For Australia bound if we didn't all drown, and the marks of our fetters we carried
In our rusty iron chains we sighed for our wains, our good women we left in sorrow
As the main sails unfurled, our curses, we hurled on the English and though
November Rain
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the l
I did my best to notice
when the call came down the line
up to the platform of surrender
I was brought but I was kind
and sometimes I get nervous
when I see an open door
close your eyes, clear your heart
cut the cord
are we human or are we dancer
my sign is vital, my hands are cold
and I'm on my knees
looking for the answer
are we human or are we dancer
pay my respects to grace and virtue
send my condolences to good
give my regards to soul and romance
This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
Ill never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...strangers hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

DAD:
There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.
I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.
You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brai
Very recently one of my good friends, knowing how crazy I am on Pink Floyd, gave me a copy of an album entitled " The Dub Side of The Moon "...By a reggae band called The Easy Star All Stars. It's a re-worked version of the Pink Floyd classic, The Dark Side Of The Moon.I really didn't want to listen to it because I thought it would be sacrilege to the Floyd and left it in a draw for a few days. For some reason I googled them and found them on youtube,the rest is history. This album is ******* b
There is only one word to describe this, beautiful... Such a shame to die so young. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_CassidySomewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
In the land that I heard of
Once, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare you dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds
Are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops that's where y
Today is the day we remember the those who have died in conflicts across the world.My greatest thanks goes to The USA,The former Soviet Union, Allied forces and to the countries of the commonwealth of Great Britain, for the help and sacrifice in the efforts of the First and Second World Wars. My sympathies also go to the peoples of the opposing forces who also suffered greatly in one of history's darkest hours.Let's hope, the different situations we are now seeing across the world can somehow b
This is the Manic Street Preachers....This is, A design for life... A masterpiece for the Proletariate....
....
Libraries gave us power
Then work came and made us free
What price now for a shallow piece of dignity
I wish I had a bottle
Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars
To show from where I came
We dont talk about love we only want to get drunk
And we are not allowed to spend
As we are told that this is the end
A design for life

Ladies, gentlemen and esteemed TF'ers... Here is a tale of misfortune, of bad-timing and not being prepared... As you may or may not know, I'm moving to Thailand (again) and the original date for said pilgrimage to the land of milk and honeys... was at the end of October...In eagerness of the forth-coming event I gave notice on my apartment. Having unseen circumstances turn against me, my now planned adventure must start in December.Having already given notice on my apartment, I am now sleeping
There are some TF'ers that, A. Know me. B. Know of me. C. Think I'm a cnut!Whatever category you fall into,maybe you will understand... ( I'm trying so hard not to make this into a whining, whinge of a journal ) I left Thailand in January of this year, after staying for 15 months . I had a short visit to the UK in that time...four days to be precise after my father died in Se

Champagne Supernova
How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you when we were getting high?
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you while we were getting high?
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky
Some day you will find me
Caught beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova
A champagne supernova in the sky
Wake up the dawn and ask her why

I wish I could find a love as great as this...*Sigh*...Beautiful... Al Green...Let's Stay Together.
...
I'm, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
'Cause you make me feel, so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Me sayin' since, baby, since we've been together
Ooo, loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me, be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Ooo baby
Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether

This is probably my favourite piece of classical music...Vivaldi's concerto, The Four Seasons part 1, Spring...
...
Performed by the celebrated English violinist, Nigel Kennedy and the English Chamber Orchestra...
Beautiful, please enjoy!
What happens when you genuinely know deep-down, if you are being honest with yourself, that you are on the road to failure....?
It's hard to look at your life and be critical of yourself, or is it?
As always, I'm left wondering about the whys and the whynots...Could I? Should I?
What have I achieved thus far?
At this particular moment in my life, I'm evaluating and don't like what I see. Do I consider material possessions a mark of *achievement* or do I take the *fcuk* it, I'm happy!* li
Strange Band...Great music... The Gorrilaz...Feel Good Inc.
Gorrilaz - Feel Good Inc Hahahahahahahahaha,
Sh-pah sh-pa, sh-pa, Feel good, [x9]
City's breaking down on a camel's back.
They just have to go 'cause they don't know wack
So all you fill the streets it's appealing to see
You wont get out the county, 'cos you're damn as free
You've got a new horizon It's ephemeral style.
A melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep.

JAMES - SHE'S A STAR Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore
Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow will always keep her small
So frightened that he wont love her
She builds up a wall
Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming
Ladies, gentlemen and esteemed peers...
As some may or may not know, 'tis the August bank holiday weekend in the UK... time for long stretches of traffic on the motorways...Why am I so jubilant you may ask? My holiday starts today and I go back to slavery on Tuesday...8-)

A classic band, a classic song.... SATISFACTION....The Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones perform their #1 hit single "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" on the Shindig! television show on September 16, 1965.
I can't get no satisfaction
I can't get no satisfaction
'cause i try and i try and i try and i try
I can't get no, i can't get no
When i'm drivin' in my car
And that man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information

Amazing female vocalist, Tina Turner.For me, this is her in her prime! Everything about her performance oozes sex...
Ike & Tina Turner - River Deep Mountain High
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that
rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Do I love you my oh my

Depending what mood I'm in, I have about 5 different, favourite bands...The Pink Floyd are one of those bands....I have posted this once before as a journal and in my nearly 20 years as a Floyd fan, I never tire of this beautiful song. It remains as fresh as the first day I ever heard it and was enchanted...This song grows more and more pertinent to me as I grow older.... This is the Pink Floyd and this is Time...
Pink Floyd - Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

This is one of my favourite Oasis tracks....
Oasis - Slide Away
Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you, and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?
Hold me down, all the world's asleep
I need you now, you knock me off my feet,
I dream of you, and the thought of growing old
But you said please don't...
Slide in baby, together we'll fly
I've tried praying, but I don't know what you're saying to me
Now that you're mi
This song is magical...
Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever
