    Well that's embarrassing, must have been from the linerging affects of the Guiness/ Leffe combination along with Scher's message, the "A" in April and the number 22.

    I'll trust you had a good one back in April.

    I'm down to my last bottle btw. After that I'm not sure.

    Happy Birthday mate

    After seeing your recent Leffe lauds, I picked up a six pack. Pretty good stuff.
    However, I made a big mistake yesterday by knocking down two Guinness Stouts followed by the Leffe. The Stouts were shared at a pub with a few coworkers, celebrating the completion of a project deadlne.
    Once I got home, I followed up with a lEffe nightcap - not a good mix.
    I was feeling it this morning.
    Anyhow, my head is cleared and I raise anotrher to you.

    You have another whole month? Lucky. I think next week is my last week. But I've been off since the first week of June. When did you all get out?

    And it sounds like you are making good use of your time. I've been busy around the house, and I'm just now almost done taking care of everything. Then again, I didn't do much in June but rest, lol.

    Hey Neely, how's your summer? Say, will you be my friend?

    I'm with you all the way. After the worst summer in a century everyone needs a break and I hope the weather also breaks to give us some respite from the rain. I went out today to do a bit of shopping and the moment I stepped out there was a colossal downpour that lasted for about fifteen minutes before I could proceed. Tomorrow is said to be a complete contrast to the past weeks so let's hope it's true. England is a great country in so many ways but nobody would vote for its weather unless they were sadomasochistic.

    Hello mate. I am sorry about dropping that game a while back. . I didn't have access to net for about a week. . that's one downside of that site. How is your chess going? I'd been studying a lot for a while, and had a very impressive two weeks at the club here (18-2) but then two weeks of more mediocre results. I'm still hoping to break expert sometime before too long.

    Hey Amigo! To ask if I'm still into fishing is like asking if I'm still into eating and cheap beer. :-) Yep. Totally still into fishing. I'm getting my girls ready to go out for the first time this season too. I hope we'll get out this weekend. My youngest girl got a new pole for her birthday not too far back, so she's fired up to go.

    Where do you go? In the ocean or in a lake or stream? I live in the upper Midwest -- very near to Lake Superior, so I never get much of a chance to go to the ocean, but I'd like to fish there some time.

    Oh, regarding the "Bible as Literature" thread -- I started it a while back, but I don't have any ownership of it. So if you'd like to start a new thread, I'd be all game for participating in a discussion. School is just getting out for me, so I'd have more time to be more active in the literary discussions around here.

    Hmm, I will have to watch it then. That 1995 one when Hugh Grant and his puppy eyes made their big break was reasonable, in view of its size, but the men were a bit of a disappointment. Edward Ferrars was too lame (you'd swear he didn't really care about anything that happened to him), I have forgotten about Willoughby and Colonel Brandon was too much languishing and pining in his voice to really see in him a kind of Mr Knightley... Mr Hammilton was fun, bit I think too old (they were supposed to have nasty screaming kids still, in the film he is about 50-60...) and Mr Palmer was just in a perpetual bad mood. The women were good though, but that's only half of it.
    I guess it's eagerly waiting for the bankholiday on Monday for you then. I have had it today, and I had t work...

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
