I've only heard of the first one and the last one. Time to investigate.

I have seen them a couple of times in the last few years. Although by no means my favourite band, boy didn't they deliver a great evening. Glen lost his voice the night before and could only play guitar. Thankfully he was back in fine voice for us

The most striking element of this illustration: the lines that the design creates. The starlings are perched on the steeply sloping stone roof while a group of corvids fly by in the opposite diagonal

Velvet Underground? Bubblegum that you can find on the bottom of one's shoe. Dirty pop

The bird dance for the ages

😂😂

For the first time in history, we can proudly show you a DOUBLE German bollarding. This has NEVER been seen before so congratulations to us.

Sea, cliffs, fields, woods, sky.

You aren't hoping for a Tory revival to give you more work I hope 😉

If Dyson joined the Government and then left would that leave a power vacuum?

Wow, this is so different Mike! Great

I'm sure I remember one on The Walton's. If not there should have been where Erin mends her ways. 😉

Funny you should mention Crazy Goat. Disappointed to find out recently that it contains sweeteners.

I find fb so useful for the groups I belong to in it and friends I keep in touch with on it.

I genuinely don't see the need for a worship book. Why not use your own words.

The weirdest part of any Christmas song is when Paul McCartney goes ‘The choir of children sing their song, they practised ALL YEAR long’ and then it turns out it’s just them saying ‘ding dong’ a few times

Crib service time at Sheldon Road

I don't think you want that stray pound sign in there.

Sadly giving up on reading a book by an author I have always enjoyed. Saint Julian by Walter Wangerin is, for me, unreadable. Just doesn't grab me. Hate giving up on a book

Home in time with enough light to chop kindling for the week.

I knew a man who would pray to Aslan. Not so sure about that.

Didn't read it until in my twenties. A pity that I didn't earlier. I wouldn't have wasted so much time on war comics.

Not sure I believed it at first but this is a " better place" isn't it!

Hospitals don't seem to smell like hospitals anymore.

invitation card, text as follows: 20 Northmoor Road, Oxford. Professor and Mrs. Tolkien request the pleasure of your company on Wednesday, November 21st, 1945, to assist them in celebrating the coming of age of their son Sub-Lieutenant C.J.R. Tolkien, Royal Navy Reserve 6:30 PM onwards RSVP if not coming postscript: - carriages at midnight - ambulances at 2 AM - wheelbarrows at 5 AM - hearses at daybreak

I can take or leave LOTR, The Silmarillion, what have you, but if he wrote nothing other than the postscript to this invitation card, J.R.R. Tolkien would have a secure place in history.

I have left the "other place"!
