    Ack!!! A quarter of your account?! What did she buy? I know the feeling. My wife seems to want to compete with everyone else with regard to buying gifts for every possible holiday... and for every relative... no matter how removed... no matter that they haven't bothered to even send us a card in years.

    Neely! I can't do all your work for you. Your man, Oscar is being slandered over on the "sensuality" and literature thread. I have done my part in offering an opposing voice... but surely your expertise will be of great assistance.

    Glad you liked it!

    I believe in Goose Island's own "brewpub" it's on tap, so others can probably get it that way as well.

    If you ever come all the way to Chicago, I'll be happy to join you there for lunch or dinner.

    Congratulations, I'm sure you'll enjoy.
    I just might consider getting that myself.

    Thank you. I will have sweet dreams.
    In return, I stumbled on this one when looking for entries on the old music thread.

Signature



Oscar Wilde (1854-1900).

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.

Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.

Arrival (Memories)

by Neely on 06-08-2012 at 04:50 AM
Arrival

He said that the best time was when the
Wheat was just inches high in the fields.
Flat, rolled out land, naked to the sky.
Not for him was the joy of the windswept wheat,
The time when summer was dipping down for another year.
He liked the eager anticipation of what was to come.

The joy for me was the bend of Martin Dales,
For that was when I knew we had arrived.
Arrived for weeks and weeks,
The uncounted

Rest in Peace J.B.M

This is for my grand father who died this month. He is so very much missed by all who knew him. He meant the world to me and I will never forget our many great times together.

Thank you so much.

The Last Class

by Neely on 05-19-2011 at 08:18 PM
Well, I finished my last ever uni class this week.

It was awfully strange and not how I imagined it. Having done seven years part-time I always assumed that the last class would be a certain beer gathering with hangovers all round, but it didn't happen like that at all.

Instead, what should have been a celebratory week really just fizzled into nothing. I had to ditch the last session because of work commitments (that turned out to be not as important as perceived)

Big Trouble in Little Sheffield...

by Neely on 03-10-2011 at 07:43 PM
There could be some big trouble this week in Sheffield as Nick Clegg comes "home" to face the music with his party conference.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/0...7296UN20110310

I'm not going to get into the level of disgrace this chap and his party are (they have helped to destroy any prospect of people from low/middle incomes attending university despite naively promising to scrap tuition fees!! and so much more), but there

On the Closure of Pollards...

by Neely on 03-03-2011 at 07:21 PM
I'm just going to keep this really short because I am genuinely very upset about this:

http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/busine...life_1_3136233

I am devastated that this has been forced to close. Pollards is (was?) a coffee shop the type of which I fear we will not see in Sheffield again. It is rather symbolic in its own right, I suppose, that shops like this are closing throughout the country in place of the soulless Starbucks and
