The only thing thats real...

Ah yeah, I know how to sing in theory, but my vocal chords dont cooperate, and I often sound like a dying cat who can hit two octives when I attempt singing, but it's gotten slightly better as my pitch control on wind instruments has gotten better... I can sing a tuning concert F pitch if I really, REALLY try.

Do your kids enjoy listening to you sing/play? I always find that the kids I'm around love it to death when I play for them...

 

I think they're a bit blase about it now really but they do join in with the songs they know.

At the ages of 10 and 12 they are starting to have their own repetoir, it does give me a great deal of joy to hear them singing, feel a bit proud to think I've encouraged it.

I've got a few nice memories of performing for kids especially ones in the open air, a bit of "Wild Thing" always went down well.

 

Something Taz likes to ask people...


If you had to be always tired, or always hungry, which would it be?

 

Where is she anyway, give her a "gentle" prod in the ribs from me, and say Hi.

To exist in a state of perpetual need to sleep I would think might make it very difficult to move ones body, the desire to collapse must be overwhelming.

To exist in a state of perpetual need to eat would I imagine leave one distressed but still able to exist in the world.

Two quick thoughts. I would therefore believe a state of Hunger would be my choice.

 

People do have that problem in real life, and it often leads to morbid obesity. Such is the extent of the problem that, if left to their own devices, many of them can't get out of bed. However, people with ME have the same problem anyway, so it may ammount to the same thing.

Taz is busy with work and such things. She's on MSN though. Have you got an MSN addy?

 

I do, mannixpd @ btinternet.com

 

Cool, have added you. If you want you can make a post here, and I'll add you to the MSN list:

If you met God, what would you say to him?

 

I have created this individual in imaginitive terms and have had words, shall we say.

Can't say I've been overly impressed with his handling of affairs and its about time someone had a little word in his shell-like, a bit along the lines of "Wake up and sort your shit out", and I wouldn't mind being that person.

 

What would you do if you were god?

 

Made sure that everyone had proof of my existence, then say its all yours get on with it and then made sure everyone saw me kill myself.

 

Go you want to be a grandapablo one day?

 

Am in a fashion already, 3 little lads by my ladies son from a previous marriage. She is Nanny, my girls are Aunties and I'm also attached as a family thing.

I do look forward to seeing the offspring of my offspring, and also to see them fullfilled as human beings. Christopher 19 should be the first but we've lived miles apart for years so I imagine the contact there would still be intermittent but fun nonetheless.

Both my little ladies are feminine in their outlooks at the moment and do enjoy the concept of having boyfriends, fingers crossed they manage to keep control of their heads. What will be will be though I wouldn't lay any trips on them.

 

Following on from your post on the Borat thread...


Ever get caned at school?

Ever get cained at school?

Ever get caned for getting cained at school?

 

What me get into trouble, never. Had one detention during my time at school, and that was a class one, quite upset about it at the time if I remember.

First cannabis would of been at 18, just an occaisional spliff with a college mate. Didn't really go there till I was 27.

 

What's the most selfless thing you've ever done?

Do you believe truly 100% selfless acts are possible?

 

I actualy believe that everything we do is selfish. Even the act of selflessness in fact bolsters ones own belief in ones duty of kindness, reinforces ones own self approval and thereby becomes selfish. Noble deads are still noble but I don't believe they are selfless.

I like my nobility so do find myself always willing to assist once asked, and will try my best to be useful at the task in question. Nothing particularly noteworthy springs to mind, other than appearing on a stage in pantomime so that the local children can join in a show, in particular Shannon and Fay. This is a little strange, believe me.

 

Aye, I'd agree with you in your ideas onf selflessness. I think it's something that in theory should be impossible, though if you were to try to narrow it down to a loose working definition in practice, you could describe some acts as selfless.


And to flip the coin, what's the most selfish thing you've ever done?

 

Now that is tricky, I do pride myself on unselfish behaviour.

The most selfish thing I have come across in my experience is the act of Love, it is so overwhelmingly self centred, and almost impossible for it not to be so.

A small selfishness would be the smoke to myself.

 

Do you believe in god?
