    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.

    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.

    Moderator in a real Tavern. Click a button, the loud drunk's mouth moves, but no words escape; when he keeps it up, click another button and he's gone for a couple of days.

    I'm waiting for TosaInu to work out the hardware and tech details...until then, I'll just practice here. :)
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    I'm going to be a historian. Prefferably focusing on the steppe people around Central Asia, Iran and the Pontic steppes (Russia).

    A train driver or perhaps an astronaut.....then again a drug tester may well have it's merits.....but I really want to be what I am...a grandad and father and last but never least, a loving and loved husband...lot to be said for it.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    Principled like my father.

    Loved by my wife and family. So doing quite well at the moment, but still a steep learning curve that I've got to climb.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    Move to the US and go live in Texas as a no good hick or maybe sherif. I haven't decided yet - I'm still awaiting my visa.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    I'm quite happy as I am, but if I was growing up again, I'd want to give the Royal Marines a go (specifically, the arctic and alpine warfare specialists). I like the arctic and I like the mountains and for that matter I like messing about in boats, and what I know now, and didn't know then, is it does no harm whatsoever to delay starting a "real" career for a few years.

    Also the Royal Marines are bastard hard and that's a fact.
