Esme..a question. I noticed that you put the little copyright c after your works. Now whilst this wouldn’t prevent people from actually pinching your works, if they did and you had copyrighted it as your own work, would you be able to sue someone. Or is the little copyright c in this context not worth the thread it is posted on?

I am smiling at the way this place goes hell for leather to get what it wants, and then when it gets it, it says, well hang on we didn’t want it quite like that!

Well, I am shocked.. I say shocked! In fact my flabber has never been so gasted!

What a load of stinking hypocrisy!

Thanks cath…. I am a bit gobsmacked still.

I just got a letter through the post today, I am to be a published poet :)

Ok… just the one, and in an anthology, but it is a proper one, not one of those, buy a copy and we’ll print your poem types. I have to grab my own ankle and pull myself down to earth a little here ‘cos I know there are lots of so called publishers who will publish just…[Read more]

Debussy – Clair de Lune

My daughter has been playing this and she plays it beautifully. I can’t share her playing it with you all, so this is the nearest thing to it.

You never pressed anything against me :)

But oi.. its no laughing matter, men get raped by men, and they don’t even go to the police. It is too shameful for them.

It isn’t only women who get raped.

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular

You shut your mouth
how can you say
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved
just like everybody else does

Not sure if this one qualifies for this thread, but I do love it, so apologies in advance if it isn’t in the spirit of this thread.

Lily Allen – Friend of Mine

You burden me with your questions
You’d have me tell no lies
You’re always asking what it’s all about
But don’t listen to my replies
You say to me I don’t talk enough
But when I do I’m a fool
These times I’ve spent, I’ve realized
I’m going to shoot through
And leave you

The things, you say
Your purple prose just gives you…[Read more]

Get a Furbie… or a Mogwai… but never feed them after midnight.

I haven’t got a pc, have never used one… new fangled things, they are the work of the devil!

Actually DOA I don’t think they could stop the rot, it had gone too far. Also, at that time wasn’t Tony Blair trying to cover his proverbial behind? He wasn’t going to go out with that kind of thing blackening his “blameless” (ho ho) political career, now was he.

The situation in Argentina was dreadful, but at that time the rest of the world weren’t involved. Because the current crisis has hit the American dollar, the rest of the world is also placed in a precarious position.

The Western economy is founded on sustained growth, but growth cannot be sustained forever. At some point the “growth” has to…[Read more]

They have just bailed Lloyds TSB and a couple of the other big names out to the tune of millions. They are calling it nationalising.

If everyone pulls out all their cash, then the whole system will fold. The banks will be forced to close.

Running up huge debts is a mugs game whichever way you look at it. I agree DOA, the loans instead of grants situation was just another money spinner that showed appalling lack of common sense by the decision makers. Just because somone gets a degree does not entitle them automatically to a job with a huge salary.

Lots of students ended up with…[Read more]
