That looks fairly painful!
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

Yikes. He's lucky to be alive. Becca, he's 78, and probably not as sharp as a younger person. Plus I've learned in life that any crazy situation can happen to anyone. It's the right confluence of events just coming together.

I was warned about the trams when I went to Sydney - they move quite fast, they are more or less silent, can't stop very quickly and, of course, they can't swerve out of the way. If one is coming towards you, you get out of its way, it can't avoid you. It's best to be extra specially careful (and fairly nimble) when crossing roads on tram routes - obviously that poor man wasn't.Originally Posted by BeccaT

I want to be that lady!!!An avid reader in south west Scotland is on the brink of borrowing her 25,000th book from her local libraries.
Louise Brown, 91, from Stranraer, took her first book on loan from Castle Douglas library in 1946.
Since then she has borrowed at least six books every week throughout each year and has recently increased that to about 12 volumes every seven days.

I heard that today Night. Fantastic. They were asking if anyone could beat it. It just shows how fantastic free libraries are doesn't it? That someone can have access to all those books, enriching their lives.
It's official, the Scots stole haggis from the English. Shameless

In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?..." E. A. Poe
Ooh dear! I suppose the best that can be said was that at least he knew himself and what he was capable of! Imagine thinking you were capable of being a Nazi. I like to think that I wouldn't be capable of certain things, but who knows what they're capable of?
I know, I like to think I'm incapable of certain things too. It's interesting to see how conscious he is of his own sinisterness.
