BRIAN HERE ~ Good evening Uncle ANDY ~ very droll ! We drive a VAUXALL MARIVA which is built for Seniors & we use it as Gerry Ferry ! Because I work in Education & Angela in the NHS we aggreed to buy Cars that are mostly built in the UK using UK components. A few of our Friends ~ who work in Industry have Firms cars ~ some BMWS & MERCS. They are nice people but their *wheels* do cause them to drive a bit arrogantly. Material things ~ Salary - Apparel - Houses - Possessions - Status etc do influence the way in which People behave ! A Mans life does not consist soley of his possessions it is his character that counts !
Love the Video ~ sounds just like my Dads old Cortina !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela Brian Smokey ! ! !

oh the duality of humanity, see I crave to cry Amen to your potent commentary Andy, but then my childhood was cushioned by a pillow of BMW\'s M3 dreams and I remain: unashamedly, a junky for all things with four wheels - imbued, with a pedal of freedom and escapism within speedometer\'s of invigorating aliveness...

Hahaha and a bounder too boot, most likely. Yes it is strange how such a posh car doesn\'t have working indicators. It\'s a funny meme I look for if I\'m down. Feeling useless or without purpose I get a lift by imagining the guy fitting indicator switches to BMW\'s and what a meaningless, worthless job he\'s got! A good laugh thanks

I know the feeling only too well. A little while ago I was driving along a single track road out of our village when I was confronted by a 4by4 - it was obvious she wasn\'t going to back up even though I had to travel in reverse about three times the distance she would have had to. When she went past me not even a thankk you or acknowledgement - mind you I do drive a lowly Quashqai .

An upper-class twit there? The cad, the bounder, the...... Woof! Fido stopped me getting carried away there.
Tally-ho and all that rubbish!

On one level you are spot on, Andy. If life’s a misery, apparently not working out, static - then a little analytical introspection and a resolve to try something different, explore other possibilities will result in a stronger human being. Why await a savior, who might never appear or come with their own set of problems?
If, however, the abjection felt is extreme, then professional help may be indicated.

Take it easy, Dave

Absolutely right. It\'s pointless looking for someone else to do that although it is a mistake most people make. And somehow a lot get away with it.

HERE ~ Good Monday Uncle ANDY ! Love the Massenet Piano & Violin Duet. Very soothing as we greet the Dawn. Thanks for sharing the Truth in your Poem ! The older I get the more I realise that - with a little help from Brian & from above - I am indeed the *Mistress of my own Destiny !*

Blessing & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela Brian & Smokey ! ! !

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here - Good Afternoon UNCLE ANDY thanks for showcasing JOHN WILLIAMS his recordings are always emotional. He is one of the most accomplished Classical Guitarists in the World. We heard him recently and He is still as fluid as ever - even in his late seventies ! Brian always aspires to play like Him ! Jim Reeves love songs always make me emotional as does other music - it just does !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela Brian & Smokey ! ! !

A fine write Gold.
Some times we may be more emotionally sensitive than at other times.
I mean - that mistletoe poem I did - must kiss Manageress - caused me to go dead, numb, totally insensitive! Or when I turned up in 1066 (lol).
Things like anxiety, being on edge, jittery, nervy, may contribute to our emotions also. Not meaning we are nervous wrecks though!

That\'s a good deal for a bit of patching and a little paint. Feelings of satisfaction and some musings from the captains log in stardate 14pt font.

so true, even the act of being able to read is sadly - a choice taken for granted by so many,
insightful words my friend

dusk arising said:

But i get blank looks when i venture out, which is quite rare these pandemic days. Is it because I\'m wearing a mask or because they are?

It\'s really great being able to be free enough to exercise free choice once one has cast aside the indoctrination of things like christianity which seeks to control peoples minds. We see the OCD (the opposite of freedom of choice) christianity can create regularly displayed here on MPS.

The song grates with me though. Not because of my singing (!) but some of the words in it.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Angela here - Good Sabbath Uncle ANDY - Thanks for brightening our Weekend by sharing Monty Pythons BSOL ! Last year at Funeral of a Friend of ours (76) who was always the *Life & Soul of the Party* His Family (at His request) played this as the curtains closed on the Coffin and we left the Crem to view the Flowers. It lifted all the gloom and it is one of the happiest Funeral Teas I have ever attended ! Everone thought it was a very fitting farewell for *Smiler Jim* as he was known !
Thanks for the Poem and a reminder that *Freedom of Choice* is a great Blessing and a hallmark of the Democray in which we live !

Blessings & Joy & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela - Brian - Smokey πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Its a whole new world out there anyway, isn\'t it Andy ...

I admire anyone who attempts to upcycle and am a self confessed recycler myself .. always finding new things and ways to reduce my carbon footprint .........with a bit of luck, it will make the world go round a bit longer ....

Poetic Dan said:

Brilliantly done, I love the newest of TV show! It actually feels like it grows with each Generations understanding!

As you know I like to play with my own consciousness and belief system! I think we could see it in another 4 to 500 years...

It\'s easy to watch, think or act but to actually do! Day in day out, that must be what have is the wording dedication!

Keep up the write!

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Good Friday Uncle Andy ~ Brian here ! Thanks for Piano Recital ~ reminded me of my Dad !
Loved the poem it reminded me of two of my Fave TV Programs ~ *Repair Shop* where heirlooms are lovingly restored and *Money for Nothing* where *People in Masks* hover round garbage dumps and ask people to part with their garbage before putting it in the SKIP ! The Lone Rangers then take it to Craftpersons who transform it (for a price) into something awesome. The product is sold for a profit and the profit (sometimes in xs of Β£100) is given to the original donor ! The MANTRA IS *Anything can be Repaired - Recycled or Revamped^ AMEN !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love Angela Brian Smokey ! ! !

Ha - - up-cycling the old to give a trendy new face just gave me my first smile of the day my friend - I love that number and the surreal spaceship read Andy hoping your clever daughter made a silk purse in the end from that worn-out ear of worse-for-wear furniture.
