Youngest of four i remember us all watching chubby and doing his dance which lasted at least the rest of the year..... troubled cold war days which we were too young to understand.... but dance we could.

The dreaded time has come - Orchi resumes singing! heehee.
Erm, I\'m not too keen on a song : \'I wanna scream it out from every mountain top!\' Sounds like a madman. Doh!

Yes I agree but to be fair... look what unforseen covid has done to western economies and the steps needed to be taken.... blame bloody CHINA who dont give a flying fk about buggering up the economy.

Did anybody really think that those HUGE handouts by the UK gov through the pandemic would not have a HUGE knock on effect? Or would it have been better for the gov to have not made hand-outs and left the NI stamp as it is?

Reality BITES! LOL

Decisions
The elder poet said:

Every one makes mistakes at one time or another. Taking the wrong road. But from that mistake we learn to turn around and try another. We don\'t know what our futures bring. We can only do the very best that we can. And yes we learn from our mistakes. In my case I must be one smart guy. Because I\'ve made many mistakes . I enjoyed reading you poem. Thank you for sharing.

L. B. Mek said:

by design or chaotic luck
our fallibility is unquestioned,
a part of us, a tool
to be utilised
and so let us buckle and trip, again and again, maybe even fall,
once in a while
but come, when our time for accountability is nigh upon us,
and there
we\'ll stand twice, as erect
and twice more, emboldened
by self accumulated, meaningful pride..
success out of failure: Yes,
I like the flavour
of that: \'slice of life\'...!
(you\'ve done it again, my friend
got me flying away into spontaneity of those emotional dancing qwerty keys,
lets hope it all makes some kind of sense, in the end) lol
thank you, my friend
found your words to be unassumingly: inspirational!

Sometimes we feel our decisions might be the best ones at the time but looking back we realise it wasn’t . I guess we only make decisions the best we can , with how we’re feeling at the time

Very true At the time we feel its right but time tells us it not true and that is what experience is all about. Thank you Andy for such thoughtful words

I believe that without making decisions that are eventually wrong we won\'t be able to make the right decisions in the future. Beautiful write dear Andy!

So true Andy.

I think it goes hand in hand with \"let us not judge a man by what he achieved but rather by the obstacles he overcame along the way\"

Doggerel Dave said:

I have memories of steam train travel as a kid, I worked with them later in Oz and on visits to the UK have sought out steam rides when I could. For me there’s something mystical in that kind of steel creation (I love Victorian engineering).

The irritating thing is that a small corner of my mind cannot erase an image of the way those iron horses came to degrade and pollute pristine countryside as the rail network was developed….

L. B. Mek said:

the worst aspect of Time, for me
is its lulling lope of indifference
if I close my eyes
I\'m back, to that childhood field trip
begging for the day to end
yearning for that something, I urgently
couldn\'t wait, to begin
and yet, dear Poet
I remember the long day
but forget, what it was I was so desperate
to rush towards...
that\'s what Time steals from us
(in my humble opinion)
our inability to realise, in the moment
what we\'re truly wanting to achieve or experience
and so, as my ears bring back
that incessant train track, drum line
of regret\'s heartbeat - I too, listen and sigh
deep
wishing, wondering: will today be another one
I will allow, to pass-by
without realising, what I really cherish
in my now of life?
(such a deeply contemplative write Andy
had me rambling-on, in this haphazard comment
forgive me)
