I remember...

I would wake up on Easter Sunday to find that my parents had left a trail of chocolates leading from my bedroom and out to the rest of the house, to where all the coloured eggs and bigger chocolate treats lay hidden.

How did Easter get to be about chocolates and bunnies in the secular world?

One of my fonder Easter memories is a brunch that was held after the service. The priest (Episcopalian) brought out a bottle of port and we all had little glasses of it. I sat with an artist and his wife and someone was a gourmet chef and they made a delicious casserole. Then everyone went home and I presume passed out. I found it to be an intoxicating combination of religion, culture, and cuisine.

I thought that Mott the Hoople were the first ones to roll away the stone.

Didn't Leon Russel (who toured with Joe C ocker and such of his friends as Billy Preston, Bonnie and Delany Bramlett and the Memphis Schoals' Horn Section on the legendary "[w]ith a little help from my friends" tour) roll away the stone first?

I am tho' well into glorious sunrises; some of the best can be seen from the top of a mountain after an invigorating early morning's climb!

luv to you all

And HE said: 'I AM the living stone - all who fall upon ME will be broken...but those upon whom I fall will be crushed...'


It appears that I have some rather weird 'cybergroupies' that seem to follow me around and try to ruin my good intentions...

nothing better to do, I'd suppose...

You're certainly not 'fans', and you're not trying to help...maybe i could call you 'pans'...as in 'from the frying pans into the fire'...

Others have moved on to bigger and better postiing forums...why not you Question

And the best Stones of all; The Stone Roses whose first album, "The Stone Roses", was voted best album of all time in a recent poll of journalists (music and otherwise) and celebrities in the UK. "I Am The Resurrection" is one of the best tracks and one for Paulie. Genius.

Although you Bay City Rollers and Whitesnake fans just wouldn't appreciate it at all Very Happy

I would like to point out my brief dalliance with Whitesnake was just that.

Went to see Ian Brown at the weekend, actually. Played a couple of Roses tracks - still can't sing though.

Now, if Fulham and P*rtsmouth draw.....

Peter Crouch = Legend

Well i'd like to see The Saints stay up, but if they do it at the Baggies's expense i won't be so happy...would very much like to see Pompey go down as watching the Albion play there a few seasons back was the most unpleasant footballing experience i've ever had...4000 travelling baggies shouting 'freak, freak, freak' every time the then 18 year old peter crouch got the ball was fun though. And we won and got promoted that season Very Happy

i have a bit of a soft spot for so'ton as my cousins support them and i've been to the dell and st mary's a fair bit...

And ian brown's singing is definitely awful, his voice must be produced to within an inch of his life on the records..

For the benefit of those from the other side of the Atlantic, Matttheboy and Sickbag are discussing football - that's "soccer" to you colonials.
Before y'all get excited or (outraged), I should point out that neither "going down" nor "staying up" have any sexual connotations, the former referring to relegation to a lower division, the latter to staying in the same division.
Okay lads, pray continue.
