    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Fashionista's such as myself immediately recognise her hair as mid-1960s. Which, incidentally, I consider one of the greatest periods for ladies fashion. I fell in love with the style while playing my favourite computer game of all time, the genius NOLF, set in 1967.

    That 60s hairdo ruined the authenticity of Battle of Britain (1969).
    I guess they couldn't find a young woman who didn't follow that fad.
    Wooooo!!!

    funny how everyone seems to remember the sixties different to how they really were (as in mostly conservative and repressed) in fact we have a word for it in Ireland we call it the Fixties.

    Our sixties from the imagination is really the late sixties early seventies.

    That's Dean Martin, right? Who said: "If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt."

    What movie is that though? I wouldn't be surprised if that still is from a late forties movie, not a fifties movie.

    Yes, it is. The jacket should have been a give-away that this was the sixties.

    I never did. It's much more fun to address your views without having a clue what they are. I guess it worked until today because you never read mine either.

    Louis, haven't you noticed what complementary souls we are, mine spiritual and forbidding, yours all sexless and non-threatening.

    You? Never! I've got this beautiful wooden Tiki of you sitting in the midle of my room, which I use for worship.

    Incidentally, tiki, as designerista's such as myself are aware of, were all the rage in the sixties and thus go perfectly with 1966 interior design.

    I do read your posts! It's just...they are so compelicatded, with all you'r big words and difficult stuff and names Iv'e never heard of.

    I'm trying, I really am, it's just not easy, you know.




    You make me feel like Augustine in Honoré de Balzac's 'La Maison du chat-qui-pelote', in over my head, engaged in conversations that are beyond my grasp, miserably unhappy after having aimed too high. I should've stuck with 4chan and Disney sites.

    Hahaha, now you make me feel like the dithering old garçon Jean-Jacques Rouget in La Rabouilleuse, in over his head yet without a clue on the amourous as well as treacherous goings-on in his own home. One day you and Strike will duel over that sexy Sparkle Pony Deluxe and I will be the last person to understand what its'all about.

    I think he's making a pedophile joke. We need access to Lemur's pedobear archive.
