~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Without question, the greatest invention in the
history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the
wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does
not go nearly as well with pizza."
~ Dave Barry
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this. A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first.
This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members.
In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells.
But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."

Lovely Jets,
Sure if we all knew how long we were going to live , we would all mind ourselves better? Or would we. I have had a blast. Still do only less of it.
I also know now there are lots of things that can only be done with youth
on your side. { Big Groan}
Ah well! Off to the pleasures of work. Yipee! Its friday.
Good luck with the Bloods. If green shows up! dont worry its the Irish

I'll surley wake up with the fleas.
The coyotte Queen Man did she scream,

Re: Question to you (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Hi Zini,
I can vouch for what Acapo, just said. Why! Because it was very graciously
written for me! Called "Maiden ODonovan! I recieved it today its a beautiful instrumental piece.
Indeed i have been asking James here on the forum to do the same with His Autoharp, another beautiful sounding instrument, not especially for me now!
But to allow others to hear the beauty of the sound.
As soon as Roger is up and running again, he will be only to glad to put
Acapos piece on FOC for all to hear.... Then we will await James and
His piece also.
Thank you Russell.

Jas,
You must remember when your Dad left. It was because of his failed relationship with your Mum! Not you.! This is usually not recognised
at the time because in that situation, its more about the Adults then the
heartache for there childrens.
Some adults do have the sense to see, this.. But to few of them in my book.

All you experts out there please explain this to me.
I fill today 1,200 litres home heating Oil. 800Euro. Expensive! yes! last year at this time i paid around 600 euro.
1000 Euro changed today for family member for Boston Shopping. I got nearly
1500 Dollars. Brill.
9 billion wiped off our pension in the last few months? Now we are only a little island.
All i can hear on the radio here is, The barrel of oil is still below the psychological Barrier of 100 dollars " HuH" While i know what these
words all mean individually. I cannot put the whole thing together in my head.
Are we the world in major trouble. Now this wont keep me awake, But

Topic: Song. Pretty Tag. Words Melody/ Helena Donovan. (17 replies, posted in Songwriting)
This song is about how some people can be left damaged all there lives, by some form of Trauma in Childhood. Unfortunately this is often carried for so long it damages every relationship they have. Even very long ones with people
who love them.
To the experts the chords may seem all over the place, but the melody is fine.
I have a major problem with bridgeing. even though i do understand it. Just cannot seem to bind it! So open to suggestions. Thank You Mó Cáras.
