I’m at work…just finished unpacking a delivery of cds and aromatherapy oils and about to have a coffee while I consider what to do about the things they’ve sent me that I didn’t order! :lol:
Any decent CDs?
Mine’s black with one sugar btw :P
I guess I can’t ask for a more fair or decent reply than that Words.
Maybe on a different day or a different thread, we can endeavour to make right what went horribly wrong at that particular time, with the aid of some common ground from common experience perhaps. In the meantime, happy posting to you.“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much”

You seem to have problems letting this go Words.
That, my friend, is perfectly within your rights.. and as I see it, your problem.For my part, I have apologised for my “style” that seems to so insult you.
In fact I’ve apologised twice.
If your skin (whatever colour it may be) is indeed so thin as to be unable to withstand some of my more abrasive comments (though in fairness, I have seen much worse on here), then for a third time, I apologise in so much that it’s an unfortunate circumstance and that I truly do not set out to offend you.However (and I take no joy in saying this) I have not (and will not for that matter) apologise for my feelings when I made the (granted, over the top) “stupendously idiotic” remark.
So, just to clarify, if the manner of my retort offended you, I’m sorry. But I will not apologise for the emotions that inspired it at the time and I certainly don’t seek to undo them. No need to now in fairness as they have long since dissipated (you should try that).
No, I assumed your argument would be big and bold enough to take some of the counterpunches, afterall I could just as easily make a similar song and dance about comments and assumptions you subsequently felt free to make regarding me on that wretched thread.
Outlandish talk of Parapets and what not..
But I didn’t, and I won’t.
In my mind it’s done mate.
It feckin certainly is now lol.The great irony is that , yes, I could have given you a litany of times I myself have been subjected to pretty nasty bouts of discrimination on so many levels and that yes, in the main , I agree with most of your insightful posts with regard to social conscience on these boards. But in my irritation I saw you asking that question as an emotive deflection from the real injustice I was pursuing. My take on it at the time was that the whole thing was utterly corrupted by what I perceived to be the most monstrous liberites being taken with the language of victimhood and condemnation by both you and panda. This was MY ONLY ever beef on that thread.
I called what I called in relation to the equivocating nature of your posts. I quoted some of these as evidence, citing at best the rather fluid nature of your interpretation and at worst, yes, the downright contradictions, tune changing and equivocation to suit, what i saw , as an agenda. A marked retreat from kneejerk racism claims into the safety of a sneering, goading triumphalism aimed at Terry.
I asked people to make up their own minds in that regard.
I received “Codswallop” from you in return.
Which is grand, if that’s how you saw it.
And it’s grand if every single person on this site sees it that way too.
I certainly won’t be whinging or bleating at this apparent dismissal.
I won’t be bringing such rebuttals up on threads elsewhere.
In short, I won’t be returning to that particular subject.But if indeed, you are using the rather flimsy premise of it being “out there” to dig this all up again, then fire away, I’m not going to stand in your way. If it’s relevant to this thread as you say, then yet again, it seems I do you a disservice.
But remarks I made weeks ago in an entirely different context spurred me tonight to ask a favour of you on this page hoping that none of this would come about. You had every right to refuse, and it looks like you have. That’s also grand. I guess I was rather naive in that respect.So, you feel free to use whatever is “out there” Words.
Happy hunting.
I’ve told you elsewhere on this site what I truly think of your posts and contributions on here. I want to tell you none of this has effected that.
I’m a bit disappointed to be sure, but, hey, none of us will lose any sleep huh? And please God we will wake happy and healthy tomorrow.
Goodnight Words.
(Or Good Morning if you are reading this over your porridge).I don’t wish to give too much blah with regard to these tunes as they truly speak for themselves.. But just a small note on this particular version of Harrison’s classic.
It is an original acoustic take from the Anthology series of recordings with an accompanying orchestral backing. It was used on the 2006 release “Love”.
It is also one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
