varsovian Re: I'm here today, gone tomorrow... 22.03.06, 15:30 You just ruined my life - I've been looking at the satellite pictures of the back garden of my old house in Banstead (just south of London). I looked at the trees I helped plant in the local park, walked up to the school I taught in, then started roaming further afield - Sainsbury's in Epsom, Kingston market, along the Thames to Kew. Next stop, Tonbridge - and my first house! Odpowiedz Link

russh Re: I'm here today, gone tomorrow... 22.03.06, 22:13 I'm interested Marimax. Why are you so aggresive and anti social? A person of another nationality, living and working in a country, contributing to the country by virtue of paying taxes and spending earned income has a right to think of, and even laud his country of birth without senseless attacks, surely.

Everyone has the right to an opinion, whether this opinion is justifiable by facts, experience or statistics, or just stems from faith or instinct, it could be expressed wittily, irreverantly, didactically or with dry formality, straightforwardly or pompously, literally or in the form of an allegory, anecdote or perhaps even poem. Opinions are rarely objective in themselves, but can be given in a context which makes them appear so. Clever people can maybe express their opinions more eloquently than stupid people, but that does not make them any more valid. Knowledge, however, always adds to the weight of an opinion. On the other hand, some people don't have opinions, thoughts or knowledge about anything, and if they try really hard they can just manage to write a couple of short, sarcastic, bitchy lines criticising the thoughts of others. Minimax is a perfect example of this latter, duller category. Odpowiedz Link

No, no, I fear you misconstrue. A fagot is a musical instrument. He's simply prejudiced against marching bands, perhaps having being bitten by a trombonist when young. Odpowiedz Link

OK. I promise to live, prosper and pay taxes here, and not bring any political correctness, drugs or fagot's marches. Thank you for allowing me that, and it's a pity I can't have it signed and stamped with your full authority, as I'm sure it would help me should I encounter any difficulties in this country.

I was actually planning to fly across 15,000 screaming queer San Franciscans with tight T-shirts and Piłsudski moustaches to march effeminately outside the station with big, pink banners, and finance it all out of my own pocket.

The place I showed where I was yesterday is nowhere near England. I was there yesterday, and I'm not there today. I'm back in Warsaw today. I won't ask you to tell me where I was yesterday, as I'm not sure that your bandwidth multiplied by your IQ will be enough to get you to the answer. Odpowiedz Link
usenetposts Re: I'm here today, gone tomorrow... 23.03.06, 13:10 Yeah, it's fantastic, isn't it? I can see the house I played in as a tiny boy - it's still there. The black and white photo of me held up by my dad on the homepage of my site is in the garden of the house just to the south of the crossroads here: tinyurl.com/nc8k5 and this shot from my site, when I was a baby: www.usenetposts.com/davey7months.jpg shows the view standing half way down the garden path at the south side of the house, looking east south east. You can see the angle of the house behind and the chimneys all match the building in the bottom right of the aerial shot. It does make one very sentimental, especially as I haven't been to South Shields since I was a child. As you know, I don't even speak with a Geordie accent any more, although when I first learned to speak, I did. Odpowiedz Link
