Tennessee Strats,
I think that film is a very recent one. Cannot rememember the name either.
Irish Film names are often changed for the American Market.
The Field" film to me was the best film ever made about how the Irish feel
about there land. Believe me i know generations who fell out over patches of land. Some only good enough to give cattle hoof rot. But there land none the less.
The Snapper, The Van. are the follow on to the Committments"
others i enjoyed, was "Man about Dog. Waking Ned" Winds that shake the Barley. Veronica Guerin" Magdalen Laundrys" Theres just to many to put here.

Hey UYk,
Do you want a job? 
Your mainly right about flowerstems. But you only bash the real thick woody ones. Some hollows you fill with water and plug.
Lots of flower stems are now sealed. As the lie in cold storage so long before auctions and delivery. Yes! they do double nearly in price for Valentines and Mothers day.
Most flowers are 2/3 days old when you purchase anyway. NEVER buy from a garage shop. Most expensive least cared for.
Roses should always be clipped, The end stems plunged into cold water then
hot for 10 seconds back to cold again. They last for ages this way. If you have no sachet food, good old lemonade or a spoon of sugar in water. works just as good. The beautiful Gerbera, should have a rose wire threaded up into the stem to keep upright.
Tomorrow morning the class is "Corsages" and Handtied" Dont be late now ill start without ye".

Last Rebel,
Such a good song. It reminded me of this story.
I had a elderly friend for many years. A real salt of the earth person. She never lived with any illusions. worked hard all her life.
One of her sons went to Australia. He did exceptionally well for himself. She was very proud of this but never wanted him to lose sight of reality.
On his last visit home he showed her some plans for this mansion of a house
he was building in Australia. Every now and again she would say" And whats
this here, A bathroom Ma! Puffing out his chest with pride. And this ? another bathroom Ma! after he counted out 5 bathrooms in total. She said" God son isnt it an awful pity God only gave you one A## H##e.

Tenneesee Strats,
Its my work Sir. The cheapest bouquet i made yesterday was 75 Dollars.
The most expensive 200 dollars. not adding the cost of chocolates, card,
and a big thing here now is Rose Petals. They take there partners away
to hotels and scatter the bed with these! The price of flowers quadruple at
the auctions fpr Mothers day/Valentines day.
Then you have all kinds of quality Roses. Short stem/ long stem.small/large head/buds..
Give me the old fahioned rose from the garden, The scent is to die for.
Modern Roses are so mass produced they have lost there natural scent,
But not there appeal,
I had 2 favourites yesterday. The Man who wanted daffodils for his wife.
A big bouquet of them simply tied.
Another who asked could he have a lucky bamboo inserted in
his rose Bouquet,? When i asked why he said" Im hoping its lucky enough to
bring on a a divorce,
Then we have the people who order 2. One for the wife/ girlfriend/ or mistress.
As for the thorns! Most are already stripped on supply. But i never fail to leave
a spot of blood some where on a rose Valentines Day. Ouch!
Enjoy your day { and beer}
away to work now { Me}

Topic: Roses! (24 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
Ive been up to my teeth in flowers all day. Im not complaining , i love them.
A lot of guys do order Red Roses for Valentines Day. But in the last few years i have had quite a lot of orders for white roses. So, here ya go lads/ lasses, so you will all know what the colours symbolize in roses.
Roses have had meaning since the dawn of time. Everyone knows that a red rose is a symbol for love but did you know that when you give a bouquet of white and red roses, it means unity?
Read on to learn what your favorite roses mean in the very special language of flowers.
In Victorian times, suitors would present a bouquet to their intended that held much meaning once the flowers were looked at. These bouquets were called "tussie-mussies" and every courtship began with their presentation. The content of these tokens often changed as the relationship did until the bride walked down the aisle with the most meaningful bouquet.
. Red roses say “I love you†and also stand for respect and courage.
Rosebuds symbolize beauty, youth and a heart innocent of love or: “You are young and beautiful.†Red rosebuds mean “pure and lovely†and white rosebuds signify girlhood or “too young to love.†The moss rosebud stands for confessions of love.
A single rose stands for simplicity. In full bloom, it means “I love you†or “I love you still,†and a bouquet of roses in full bloom signifies gratitude.
White roses have several meanings: “You’re heavenly,†reverence and humility, innocence and purity, “I’m worthy of you,†and secrecy and silence.
Red and white roses together, or white roses with red edges, signify unity.
Pink roses in general symbolize grace and gentility. For more subtle shades of meaning, choose deep pink to stand for gratitude and appreciation. Light pink conveys admiration and sympathy.
Yellow roses usually stand for joy and gladness, but can also say “try to care.â€
Red and yellow blends stand for jovial and happy feelings.
Coral or orange roses denote enthusiasm and desire.
A deep burgundy rose means “unconscious beauty.â€
Pale colors convey sociability and friendship.
Hybrid tea roses mean “I’ll remember you always†and sweetheart roses symbolize just what their name implies.
Two roses taped or wired together to form a single stem signal an engagement or coming marriage.
A full blown rose placed over two buds forms a combination that signifies secrecy.
Withered white roses have two meanings: fleeting beauty and “you made no impression.â€
A crown made of roses signifies reward or virtue.
Rose leaves are a symbol of hope.

Well did I laugh at Lizzy Borden ?. Is That " The lizzy Borden had a axe , gave her hubby forty wacks, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Ahem!
Well I think you might mean my friend from childhood. Phil Lynott? Who is/ was better known as Lead singer with "Thin Lizzy" He was also the first person I knew to die from drugs. He was a lovely guy so sad how it all ended for him. he used to play in our local youth club.
I do agree about the Film. I find it brilliant when My Emerald is portrayed so well.
Another i seen recently is "Ps I love You" Music not as good as Once, But the Irish scenery is fantastic in it.
Another from way back shows the cruder side of the music industry and Dublin.
The Committments" It uses so much irish slang its hilarious.

Re: LAY WITH ME (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Phil,
No! Please ask your wife not to make him choose! This is not the answer. Ask her please not to forfeit
her relationship with your Son.. As Parents your relationship with your son must take priorty. No one else
on this earth is worth losing this love for.. No one will ever love him as you 2 do.
He will in time realize his girlfriend cannot give him what he needs to live a fulfilled life. Dont pass him
over completely to someone who it seems doesnt know how to love. It seems to me everyone is hurting in this situation.
Positive thoughts to you both.
