Yep, even in the cold war Sting voiced \"I hope the Russians love their children too\".... all of us everywhere are human with everyday needs and aspirations.
Though i do wonder if some of our multi-cultural comanions are quite as civilised as us english, scots, welsh and irish.

Strange Friend.
Michael Edwards said:

Friends they may well turn out to be. When I look at someone I don\'t know I feel quite detached - almost indifferent until I think: they probably have loved ones just like me, they probably have the same feelings just as I do, they may have health issues or financial worries. In other words they are no different to any of us. They are real people and deserve the same courtesies and consideration as any of us. We are all much the same. Cripes I\'m getting all philosophical.

Yes all the lonely people and never moving around to meet others but sitting at home - such a sad state of affairs and perhaps a pen-friend club is the answer at first to encourage contact....... your verse spells out need without a doubt.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY : ANGELA HERE 10pm and almost time for BED ! The MAORIS live in extended Families so in all the Maori Families I have visited in POOY NOOY (smell like a Kipps Apparatus H2S : Brian has an empty one in his Flat !) there were NO lonely ONES. In the UK Parents & GParents often live 100\'s of miles away from Children and in America they are thousands of miles apart. The answer is OLD PEOPLES HOMES but that is not the Solution they are some of the loneliest plces on Earth ! In the UK Brian & I live close to our folks and see them regularly ! Brian visits my PAPA for a glass of RIOJA and a chat : in SPANISH ! MAMA is also fluent ! Brain is good with Geriatrics (now he is Middle Aged - 35 !) and organises the SENIORS CLUB & SILVER SURFERS @ College. Love the MUSIC very soothing & soporific. Ive listened to the whole piece ~ while writing this comment and now I am asleep !

Blessings & lasting Peace & Joy to YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 + 🧡
Nobody ever visits a PHYSIO cos theyre LONELY but cos theyre DISJOINTED !

A good write Gold. Some - a few - may be off-putting though. I encountered a pongy person. I mean an indescribable smell. I nearly retched. Smelt like rotten flesh. I don\'t know their situation though.

What a true write and so many of them are the elderly who deserve not to be so.

FROM the New World!
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

GOOD AFTERNOON ~ Uncle ANDY thanks for sharing the whole of FROM THE NEW WORLD or as ANGELA would call it DEL MONDO NUEVO ! We need a bit of pedanticism or everythong would decline to TEXTSPEAK ! I have several BEEFS mainly in Science when people on Quiz Shows confuse ELEMENTS & COMPOUNDS ! My biggest beef is with pH ! As you know the *p* notation is employed to turn negative INDICIES into positive INTEGERS ! Our friend *p* is the log (base 10) of the reciprocal ! Consequently pH is the *log (base 10) of the reciprocal of the H+ ion ! One sees hair products labelled as Ph (which is the Phenyl radical - C6H5) neutral or PH (which is the Ordinance Survey symbol for PUBLIC HOUSE !) neutral ! I havent seen *ph* yet ! I teach HAIRDRESSING SCIENCE and I try to impress on the GIRLS the importance of it being *pH* and not Ph or PH ~ OK. Due to medievil use WATER & AIR are often described as important ELEMENTS. People should also note that AIR is a MIXTURE (of gases) and not a COMPOUND ! We live in increasingly sloppy days where nothing is sacred ! I used to work for Chemical Abstracts and being an ORGANIC CHEMIST I gloried in the preciseness and exactness of ORGANIC NOMENCLATURE an exact way of precisely and perfectly maning more than six million componds all containing carbon !

Blessings & Peace to You and Joyce
Love in the Spirit ~ BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

A needed reminder for this most wonderful composition dear Andy - well done and thanks for sharing the glorious music Dvorak left for us to enjoy.

And a lovely piece of music it is too. Just a shame it overshadows his other superb works. I\'m with you on the title - great write Andy.

Good write Gold. Yes, this was so in 1066. I tried to judge the arrow\'s trajectory mathematically. I did not do enough research. It was done superficially. Then unbelievably I said the words to Harold....
