I liked this and often this is the case. People in charge only care about money.

Finally,I\'d just like to add that the inclusion of \'“The Road Not Taken” should not be interpreted as in any way a denigration of that poem, which, together with Robert Frost, I admire very much.

Good God in His Kingdom, I just had a flashback to 2 different stories of People that sadly are gone now. Both lost to the needle. 1 when I was in the emergency room as I was getting breathing treatment myself and the guy was in the bed next to mine he died that night (doctor came in and asked him how did he want to die as sepsis from a broken needle had turned half his body dark black & blue). 1 was my little brother who tried on his last night in hospital to call me but didn\'t get through. Both men big strapping muscular fellows at 1 time yet shrunken shells of men at the time of death. Both taken way too soon. And I am crying. Don
This story was as Graphic as real life. Period.

Great cliches Dave but \"Life Changed Forever\" may be true and we are fed up with hearing it but life changes forever every day as there are always new things that come into it and without them we would not move forward in our lives.
Good inspiring words Dave.

What I want to know is, if one has not taken the road, how can one write a book about it? How does the author know?! lol.
I didn\'t walk the long road. I took a No.7 bus!.

Hi Dave,
I really enjoyed this piece. Especially this part \"Three or four visits by the ambulance in the last few months wasted all my efforts. Some sharing caring cunt has called them – should have left me.\" - Great stuff.
I love the gnarly details to this story which makes it so real.

Rubbedy - Rhyming slang: Rub a dub dub = pub.
I deny I suggested ginseng. We spoke of the ‘done – methadone, maintenance medication taken orally.. Pete wouldn’t consider it. Stated it was an artificial chemical. What he thought his last hit was cut with I have no idea – organically grown green tea leaves perhaps?
Didn’t work for the Post Office – A clerk for British Telecom actually (but let’s not quibble.)
Ambulance administered Narcan which counters the effects of the smack.
I understand, on good authority, it was quite possible to maintain a habit and lead a functional life – some however couldn’t…
Didn’t do it; did head to the rubbedy. How did I tell him? You be the judge.

I\'ve not seen a proper comedy show since, ooh, about 1978!
On telly they say \'New comedy show coming soon\', and show a traiIer. I say \'Where is the comedy?\' Laugh? I never even started!
Stand-up comedians are the worst.

Shakespear was performed as a comedy in its day. There\'s still a lot of good fun stuff from yesteryear on film and very enjoyable. But stuff like ted ray, arthur haynes, harry worth, charlie drake and morecombe and wise just don\'t work as funny anymore.
Times move on. Theres a UK tv channel shows old movies and i\'ve tried watching 40\'s comedy but its banal. To a certain extent, a lot of comedy styles have an expiry date it seems.

MIDNIGHT TRILOGY (2) Around Midnight.

Ah - am still experiencing the chill you describe well in this part of your trilogy Dave - a visit you will never forget methinks to that small northern town and told so realistically I was almost there - that cell could tell some tales I bet but yours would be hardly believed - - an amazing memory compellingly rhymed.

Those times of the sixties were so wonderful, I was there and yes I remember them dancing the night away in my new suit with the collarless jacket aka The Beatles. Wonderful memories that can be brought back with a song.

\"And I attempt custody of my eyes\" - what an excellent line! - out on stalks i imagine.
A good read, we all have interesting past lives it appears. Did you know Orchi and his dog were archers at the battle of Hastings where a wounded King Harold taught him to sing. Kept an eye on him.
So why did yer emigrate? It was a bit late for those prison ships.
