Oh your pretty pooochiness :grin:

Ah. So tartan baffies, then :nerd:

:cool: with matching boots?

Think I'll get me a matching one. Wore out my Aussie hat with swinging corks. Now, the question: The colour. Black or white? Hmmm. To hell with it. Bo...

and the midgies. But in my dream, everything is perfect :cool: Schmaltzy. Clint Eastwood. "I Talk To the Trees" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn8Yub...

Yeah, wish I could do that too *sighs* TPF is the nearest thing I got. Thanks for that :cool:

@"jamalrob" How are you? Take care :sparkle:

And just when we think things are bad enough, look to China and Taiwan Crisis for more of the same. Somewhere in this fascinating 15min Ch4News video,...

Congratulations :party: I think I'm about 3yrs plus 2 months with gaps. Happy to be here too, right now, with you and others :sparkle:

Yes, I think that is true for me too. Many songs have strong associations of time, place and people. Emotional indeed but some I listen to with detach...

I think that's why I enjoyed the OU mini-music-module 'Start Listening to Music'. It led me to listen, most carefully, to all the instruments of the o...

I won't ask for a long list but perhaps a sample of those listened to whenever you 'need a friend'. Dancing or nodding along to the changing weather.....

Thanks and yes, I've been reading and understanding a bit more about the context and perspectives. Also, Ch4News has pretty comprehensive coverage. Th...

I remember The Dave Clark Five too. 'Glad All Over' was the one. Overplaying songs was easy; many stayed in the Top 20 Charts forever and a day. The B...

'A few guys' :chin:

OK. Thanks for intro. How did you get to know him and his music? I am always intrigued by that and the endless surprises on this thread...

Pleasing all of the above. Perhaps not getting to know and please myself... Do we ever? Ah yes, I'd forgotten that. I am not a Catholic and don't have...

Yes but still I wanted to post the words here. Perhaps to see how you derived the meaning... :smile: Just what I needed; a delightful release from rea...

Nah. He is a dangerous fucking bastard :rage: Thanks for starting the thread and great discussion :up:

Re: Russia v Ukraine. You can see key military comparisons and numbers in the article posted here: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/6...

A big 'If' indeed. See my post above as to why that ain't happening... https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/658276

Friends with Benefits = No Tory sanctions which bite. More on mutual friends and gifts. So much for Tory government's 'sanctions'... Putin is laughing...

Thanks for shining some light on the subject. I wasn't aware of NATO's broken promises and the way in which Russia might feel threatened. Can you expa...

Still trying to get the current picture. This article with maps and satellite images helped a little. For example, the expansion of NATO from 1949 - 2...

:up: Yuck.

Thanks. I came to this thread very late and haven't read it all. We're now on p17. Can you remember roughly - or exactly - where you and others shared...

Yes. Why is it taking so long? It's not like there isn't clear evidence. It is frightening to think that he, or his offspring, could win again. What i...

Exactly this :100:

Hello and thank you for the links. I note that the first article is from 2015 with a particular focus on a woman's group. Do you think that all the ci...

@"jamalrob" What's the weather like where you are? Any thoughts you can share?

The Ukraine Crisis To backtrack a little for my understanding and clarification: I had asked why other world leaders let this happen for so long...? I...

Wow. Unbelievable talent and skill. It lifts the spirits. Thank you.

Yes. Got that :cool: Edit: ah, you wrote more... I read the French lyrics and nearly posted them but I'm tired. All kinds of slang slung about. Makes ...

I can't remember why I so wished to visit Assisi. Possibly steeped in a religious phase - when it felt good to be 'good' and bad when I was 'bad' ( dr...

Thanks again for a wonderful song and translation of the lyrics. The story straight from the knowing heart and mind. How very human...our struggles wi...

No question. Most chilling.

Yes. Words come easy. Some are genuine. Putin has been a dangerous, now totally paranoid, dictator for how long? How many leaders have shaken his hand...

Yeah. I deliberately didn't choose the Disney version. Most interesting to read the background...
