This is obviously the harder stuff, so you need to persevere, then you'll get it. Try hard enough and you too could have your very own appreciation society. 1 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, when that someone else sets themself up as a literary critic, I retract my criticism. It's fine...I used it quite deliberately, because it was ironic I thought a bit amusing? However either way its writ..its still understood.all we have is the facility to understand each other.. everything else is just decoration.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radiant red 5,126 Super Wammer Posted February 22 On a serious note, this lockdown has had a detrimental effect to the acoustics in my room. I have added a lot of weight and it has reduced the air volume in the room making the speakers sound thinner. I don’t measure well 😊 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a v.pleasant meandering (for me). Which way would you like it to go now that you want the last call on poetry ? Your assessment of mental health issues are poor. Sometimes if your nature is a fixed one, then looking at yourself would be a good start in the scheme of things ? This would perhaps lead to an acceptance of others...smiling more....and learning a more humble mode of attack ? Chill your beans. Spike Milligan: "What are we going to do now" ? "What are we going to do now" ? In the bad old days..people went and gawped at the unfortunate people who were mentally ill ..the people gawped at them for their own amusement..the mad people trapped in a asylum..you could argue the gawpers were the mad ones in a great big asylum but that's another conversation..so the example I used re spike milligan larking about on tv for the entertainment of the gawpers ( viewers ) I think is perfectly good..I hope you find my answer beneficial in some way.
