Yup, was great fun! Did you? Hope I didn't make an arse of myself Thanks for getting me into groovey places with your invisible student card made for a good day
I used to but that was when I was a kid, I did my first bit of sailing for ages in May of this year (in Milford Haven). I think I have the bug again now so we'll see how it goes eh?! You ever been sailing HG?
I loved Brazil. I saw it back in ... um ... 1996 or something like that for the first time. Made me a fan of Gilliam as well. While living in America (as I can't say what it has been like over here as much) as years have gone on, it seems more and more like that sort of governmental terrorist regime could one day become reality. I just finished reading "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72" last night, and wow ... even that blew my mind and made me coil at the thoughts of what has happened in the past 6 years under the jr. bush. Phones being tapped, convos being recorded, e-mails being scanned... you're never safe. I cringed last week when I saw on the news that they are trying to push over here to have the same sorts of privacy invasion acts that the Americans put into play after 9/11. Despite the CCTV everywhere, I feel like the UK is so much less invasive than America has become. I would hate to think that they would take the same turn and go down that slippery slope towards infringing on the everyday persons rights to maybe find a handful of people who may or may not do something somewhere to possibly or possibly not harm someone. *shudders*
If there could be one thing you do in life more than any other before you die what would it be? (money/borders/etc aren't issues) oh, and by the sounds of it ... you get out a lot more than you hinted at before ;-)
I have been once in Aberyswyth!! My fiance's sisters go all the time on the WEst Country coast... and everytime we go and see his 'rents his nextdoor neighbour tries to get us to go sailing... I might take him up on it next time he asks! Why in Milford? Do you have connections with Milford?
Oh! No reason really, just that friends happen to live there.... I do love south Wales though, excellent biking country... BRRRRRM!
Hi man, yeah, been very busy at work, also been loosing my soul to MySpakk (http://www.myspace.com/tuxfreak). Found a girl.... in Helsinki! oops! big mistake, still repairing my heart from that one... probably should come back here to "spread the love" so to speak but feeling a bit empty of love right now. Hope you are well, and like I say, next time I'm in town I'll pm you. Captains log, signing off.... for now!
Hi Karl, good to see you around again. I'm off to Helsinki in January What are your thoughts about Finland?
OOO it'll be cold!! haha! It's a great place, a lot of links to Russia, the train station in Helsinki has alot of 50's type Russian/gothic influence for example. The people are great, if you stray into a few bars at the weekend you're sure to have a good time. People generally understand English and don't get upset if you can't understand Finnish. Altogether a great place to visit.... Better in the summer though I would imagine And, if you're interested, I met up with a girl there, lost my heart and am trying to recover as we speak....
Sorry Indigo, forgot to respond.... Fall in love again.... but with someone who was in love with me.... it's the only thing in life that really deeply means something.... Oh, damn it all, LOVE IS HELL!
Yep I've been before in August and in March, this time I fancied a trip in the bleak midwinter What bars did you go to? Anywhere you'd recommend? So, this girl ... how did you meet and what went wrong?
Oh! cool! (pun intended) hmm, I stayed with this girl, very close to the train station, went to 3 bars nearby but I couldn't say which ones... I was quite drunk! I met her on the internet, she's lovely but so far away.. I tell her how I feel, she understands but it's all too confusing, I am in love but I don't think she is. Oh well, all sparks will burn out (Editors), at least I hope they will soon, it's killing me :~[
Awww Karl I'm sorry *hug* Wish things could ahve worked out better... On a lighter subject, what was the last good movie you saw?
Thanks for the hugs! The most recent films I saw were three Mike Leigh films, Abigails Party, Carrer Girls and Naked. Naked is brilliant in my honest opinion some parts of it make me break down... the girl in the cafe' who just sits there crying for no reason... so profound
And the last book you read? Sorry to hear about the girl man. It's a bummer (which coincidentally you may become as a result of bitterness towards the female sex)
The men who stare at goats, Jon Ronson. Explains how insane the American military intelligence is! No chance of that happening. If I could turn back the clock I wouldn't change a thing.
