The Venerable Bede.

Problem is he wrote in Latin - too easy. Now Chaucer, in his Middle
English; I find that by using a mixture of modern English and Faroese,
I can read a good deal of what he writes. The rest I can imagine.

There are some wonderful Norse tales too, if you want to
get *really* modern:-)
Iain



I have most of the sagas in my bookshelves. Much more imaginative
than the bible, I find.

Done me weeding, had me baked trout. Feet up for an hour and watch
Sherlock Holmes. Unfortunately with Jeremy Brett mincing about like
Lionel Blair, but there you go.

Not really mine either (I prefer lieder...) but the album is a quite
exciting sound experience - very acoustic, very real ans ambient.

Bugger that. I *hate* the telly on during the day - drives me nuts when swim
flicks it on. (Other than the news, I never watch it anyway!)

Did he (LB) get his dog back? I saw him *on the telly* (musta been news or
local news) very upset about his dog which appears to have been snatched a
few days back! Poor sod, I felt very sorry for him!

Nope, didn't hear about that. Not nice, though, to lose your dog - too
much like family.

I went into a record shop in Stevenage in (I think) 1974 and asked the

He came back out with the Brighton Rock album (vinyl, of course) which my
eldest son has to this day - it is 4 years older than he is!! :-)



I've just realised I still think of Queen as a "new" band. U2 have
barely appeared on the radar yet. Scary...

You think you got problems?
I have just reached Willem de Fesch (1687-1761)

So much music, so little time:-)

But have you heard of the new girl writer who just started? Hildegard
of Bingen is her name.

Yep, got some of her stuff - after all, she's about my age.......

No, but it did have my KG6545 number plate on it! (I wuz going through my
Naff Period - a bit like Pinky is now.... ;-)


Does Stewart have a personal number plate?
I would think that PINK1 would raise a few smiles:-)

Yup - V6 ASP. SWMBO has L17DY P.

I do know the guys who own SP1 and ASP1, but they're not selling!
