  1. Yeah, that's the one.
  2. The Young Pope is rather good. Also, Gomorrah is magnificent but you have to either understand Neapolitan Italian or be OK with subtitles.
  3. Remind you of something? Two wheeled, the reason you joined this community?
  4. He's another who can write an amazing lyric but is definitely not a writer. Dylan is another, see "Tarantula". Although he (Dylan) is definitely a poet.
  5. Maybe it feels a little like victim blaming? Just a thought.
  6. This is from The NY Times. I know it's a bit last month but really?
  7. No worries. You were right the first time as in "The plural "rules" was my worry". The reason it's singular is the subject: "The plural". Excellent piece of grammatical contradiction there by the way.
  8. Is, as immoral is singular. You can't be "Immorals" But you can have "Morals" and you can be "Moral".
  9. He's now got 21 years...

    It is ironic but I think LC would have had something to say... Isn't that how everyone watches F1? Start - sleep - wake - last two laps.
  11. Hope you're OK physically. Your confidence will be reduced, but hopefully it'll manifest as over cautiousness which is not terrible post accident. Try and keep riding I know it's going to be difficult and it's easy to say. But to get past any traumatic stress it's worth keeping on. Now, the driver: HOW CAN SHE USE THE EXCUSE OF MISTED UP WINDOWS? As a driver you have the responsibility towards other road users to ensure you have maximum visibility. It's against the law to drive with obscured vision. Dammit! Anyway I hope you heal quickly and get back as soon as you're ready.
  12. Careful....
  13. Well done for having a chat good to know and nice to hear the police officer changed his approach, hopefully it'll stick. I saw a bunch of them shouting about 1530 but nothing too untoward. Normal Tikkop behaviour. Close to the MyCiti stop at Woodstock but the bus arrived and they calmed down.
  14. I really don't know, sometimes all the plants go blue. But it doesn't seem to affect the wildlife, the bright orange weavers are about and plenty of waterbirds building nests or forts or whatever they are.
  15. I do indeed. And, I agree with your inclusion of Mr Cohen. They have abilities which transcend the lyricist.
  16. Unusual rhythms, No clichéd rhyming tropes. Lovely. Edit: Get the reply right dammit!
  17. I mentioned in another thread that song lyrics are not generally considered poetry in the academic sense. A theme with which I agree. I'm very pleased that Dylan is considered the exception.
  18. I expect I'll be picking them out of my teeth this afternoon after passing The Hotel of Death.
  19. Is that auto-corrected Western Cape for "Very"?
  20. Riding with no eye protection is not recommended. The amount of protein flying around the watery areas makes it a no-no. Keep the mouth closed too...
  21. Gorgeous morning in CT, beautiful light at 0540. Didn't get to Germany in August, USA instead, maybe next time. Good luck with the plummeting temperatures!
  22. I was amazed and thrilled, pretty much how I felt when I first heard Dylan.
  23. Aargh... words fail me. So wrong. Especially the..the.. dammit! I cannot articulate how bad this is.
