Hi Krishanu,

My old head is thinking it means?   To have the   "Scoop"

Would be the Story!

Then the bigger Scoop would be the "inside information?" on the same story ?

The finer details!

I hope this makes sense to you?.

I also stand to be corrected on this explaination!

FEED HIM ? Now badeye are you losing the plot as well?  I was thinking more Like" SLAPPING HIM AROUND THE CHOPS WITH IT?"  GASUNDER BADEYE?  Is a Chamber Pot! Known around these parts as "Gasunder" as it "Goes under the bed!" But as were all very posh her now with indoor loos! They are now used for plant holders. lol.
ps I love Caplin! Usually have it in "The Canary Islands" for lunch when on Holidays!
Thanks for the Fun on this one Badeye! Have a good day!
Old Doll.

I was thinking more along the lines of a  DEEP  hard based FRYING PAN?   If he cant cook he could use it as a Gasunder?    Enjoy your CHA?

Thank you Badeye! But it was never to go out like that?  Could have been a lot more polished! But your Cus took the upper Hand { Cheeky Beggar } I had no idea this would Happen!   But im a great believer in going with the flow!

Hi DLC,
I had to mull over this one a while?.
Your Anger is so strong in the words of this song! Both for the Wealthy! and Nature? I personally dont like Killing of any Kind?
But I do Fly Fish and love it!.
I dont kill them ! I catch and release.  The power and fight of these Little creatures is  always amazing to me? The beauty of them, their scales of so many beautiful colours. I always feel when caught,  they look at me with the expression of " HOW DARE YOU"! I love this power in them, its like " Now put me back where i belong,and dont you be interfering in my world!
Nature has a built in intelligence to sort its self out?

But your song has given me a lot of food for thought? So i thank you DLC for that!

Hi Badeye,
Well My sons party was brill! As he is a practical Joker It was pay back time?
First piece of music " He Had it Coming" Musical Chicago" Everyone wore Special Printed T shirts, with images of Him over 30 years { for a while anyway} Jets song Referee was great! I gave Printouts of song,and we practised belting out "Hey Referee" before my son arrived. It was perfect!
I was so surprised all these young People knew the words to "Working Man"also!.
Yes i did my own piece and Blubbered at the end.  Also Rhymes and Reasons.
The Circle Game,and there was so much more! Fantastic.
A Chocolate fountain,with strawberries , pineapple and Mallows!
American Baby barbacued Ribs,Southern fried chicken, Chineses  Chicken ,and spicy wings and legs.  Creole Chicken and Noodles, and so on.. It was great!
Plenty of beer and other drinks. The music went on untill the wee small hours!
I then retrieved to my quiet spot in the garden and listened to the Greatest Chorus ever written  "The Dawns Chorus" To hear the wake up sounds of Nature  in the coolness of morning, is cellular rejuvination for me. I thanked Mother Nature for the Gifts of My Sons,and all was well in My World Badeye!

UNTILL?  I DISCOVERED A CERTAIN ROGER GUPPY HAD DONE SOMETHING HE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO DO?  NOW BADEYE YOUR CUZ IS GONNA NEED MORE THEN TEA? "A BRACE FOR HIS HARD NECK PERHAPS?" A MOTORIZED ZIMMER FRAME? A BENIFIT NIGHT TO FUND HIS LONG TERM CARER?  NOW I WONDER JUST HOW FAR AWAY FROM THE LOCAL HOSPITAL DOES YOUR CUZ LIVE?  AND WILL THE SALE OF HIS HOME PAY FOR HIS LONG TERM CARE?
WRITE ANOTHER SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?  HE HAD BEST ASK JAMES FOR A LOAN OF HIS BRILLIANTLY IMPLANTED  MICRO CHIP? HE IS GOING TO NEED IT!  No Badeye! no soft place to fall! Thats to kind? " A Rock and a hard Place for Him to hide under?"
Why the" CAPLOCKS" for this section?" Roger Hates Them!"

Good Morning M hebert,
I apologise if i misunderstood you!  I did feel at times some were "Inuendos"?
between Yourself and PatrickJacues about me ?.
  As a adult, I prefer to call a spade a spade. The written word is very powerful so i always write whats  in my head honestly! I have no problem with anyone questioning same. I also have a great sence of humor and can give or take it on the chin!
So if  My gut instinct was to sensitive, I need to watch for that? so thank you for bringing this to my attention!

have a good Day, Mr M Hebert

I so agree with a lot of what you said but? Have our Children no Methodology to life? No  Compas Focus?  Their attitude seems to be " if i dont have everything now, i dont want to live?
We had 3 young Men last week, in a small town of maybe one thousand! who died together it seems Planned? well reported in the Media here!  In So called "Celtic Tiger Ireland" Where my Son has just spent half a million Euro on a house? not because  he wanted too, because He had too?
Our New Goverment have abolished Stamp Duty? for first time buyers?  "20,000 Euro in My sons case?  And we are supposed to be Dancing on the streets with joy?
Their Celtic Tiger has our Kids around the throat and is slowly but surly squeesing the living life out of them !  In this Land of so called Plenty? We have lost so much in the simple values of life and how precious life is! with or without money? This Generation dont go out to have a drink and socialise? They go out to get wasted?  Why? Are they feelling Stresed, Unloved, or just lost?  Any addiction is a replacement nourishment for a need that is not being met within us?   Our Time with our Kids  should Really  be spent  listening to them ,  Sharing our Time with them.  For Gods sake Talk to our Children, They need to know They are important enough to us  to listen too!  So many Questions?  " Is it  To much disposable income? or not enough Parental Guidence?
  I hate this throw away society that we live in as it now includes our Young People! How awfully Sad That is? I dont know the answers! I Wish i did?. But aleast discussions like this bring it to the fore, So Thank You for This  MHebert and
Admin!

Goodnight all.

Torrential thunder storms here for  the last few days! 1  Mug of lemon tea and a trip to Chordie to lighten the day!
I am so glad i did!  "I've been looking for You" is wonderful as always!.  Reading your piece, and "Colm Wilkinson"  Singing in the background "Bring Him Home" from Les Miz.  A bright beam of Sunshine on what was a cloudy Day!
Thank you! and Colm.

Thank You Badeye,
But i think ill skip that one?  I Actually have a mixed berry fruit  smoothie every day! Make my own. Love them.. I also love lobster, but with  salads only!
I did get an Email this morning from Canada,Telling me there is a lobster dish made with Brandy!
Yes Mr M Hebert, has taken more then one cheap shot at me! I learned a long time ago everything we give out as a cheap shot we get back 3 fold?   So my cheap shots are only from the bottom of a shot glass!
I don't need Mr M Heberts approval of me, to live a very fulfilled loving life?
Do i sound unchristian? I dont mean to be! But honest Yes! Sincere! yes, not to bad for an Old Doll.
Ps, your song treasures has had the melody attached and chorded? So maybe soon you will get to hear it?
Once again thank you for your soft place to fall!
Have a good Day.

Hi M hebert,

I would like to take all my hats off to you for being dry so long! Such strength every day for 18 years tells me more about The kind of Man you Are , Then Music and weed?.

My work takes me 3 times a year to work in drugs rehab.. To see the remmnants of what drugs does to the human form is abominable! Beautiful young people with legs and arms removed if there lucky enough to survive?
not to mention what is does to the mind?

Their new born babies being injected with valium to help them with withdrawl
symptoms!  To me the saddest of all is watching Grandparents taking on the responsibility of their dead childrens Children! They love their grandchildren,but even these kids are so traumatised by the enviroment they have been in, they are also in rehab for mental instability!

I once had a friend who when home on holidays called to visit.  When he arrived i knew he was stoned... Eventually he fell asleep, and this yellow foam started to seep first and then belch from his mouth. It was horrific! I called the Medics, but i also brought my sons to see this sight! They recoiled in horror! I explained what i thought was happening because of drugs?  They never forgot this!
Every kid should be shown this side of drug addiction, the worse possible sights! to get the message home...

I dont for one minute think you were condoning drugs!

  Your local radio station, should dismiss the person who broadcast this and the admin who allowed it!
Now in case you think im perfect, i have indulged in cigerette smoking and alcohol..I have been known to drink far to much at times { Wrong i Know}
I think the difference being, I can take it or leave it? Im not bothered if i dont indulge? I do know this" MY BRAIN IS NOT MINE WHEN I DO"  Dulled senses and indifference? now who wants to live like that all the time ?
To answer your question about music taking you places?  "Myself without any Altering substances"? .
Is ..  Cavatina " First heard in the early Seventies!
Anything by the Walker Brothers" But In particular "Ebb Tide"
Chopin,   Polonaises.
More Recent,  REM..
Will Young.  Damien Rice,  and many more!

So thank you M hebert for your post and the honesty of same, also to Admin for the Equality of the same Honesty..

Hi Bootleger,
What a beautiful reply to det101!
What kind of people can they be to let him struggle like that?  Or Maybe i am being unchristian to them? May be he hasnt let anyone know how he is feeling?,which is even worse! No wonder he sounds so lonesome!

Our church choir years ago, had 2 of  the most colourful characters.. One was Christine Aguilera, Way before the real one! And the other was a guy who was a one man James Last ? Our PP used nearly pull his hair out at times.
And lots of people used to come to church to see the allagations of these 2.
They were still praiseing the lord in their own way,and wonderful with it! Where does it say we have to be perfect?

He has had some great help from the forum, I am so glad for Him.!
