Damn, I have a huge crush on my boss.

Its a long time till the office party but I would wait till you move jobs. Even if he fancies you it would be a no-no to date someone directly under him.

@Dreamer777 Sounding it out seems like a good idea.

I was asked what my cat looked like so heres Meg

FrayedBear comments on Jun 29, 2018:

Was it Meg, your camera, you or my eyes that make her look blurry? ?

@Dreamer777 I am a little older than yourself and I do not wish to come over as too wise but know this. We regret the things that we do not do in life much more than the things we do.

@Dreamer777 Maybe make some excuse to come back and visit. Then pull him aside and ask what he thinks of dating within the company employees? Sort of "would it be ok if you didnt work together? (if yes) What are you doing this weekend?"

Slightly playing devils advocate here but I beg to differ on " Considering all the damage monotheism has done to civilization over the centuries." Much of the reform in our societies have come from the christian church. They were prime movers in the abolitionist movement (amazing grace). In my ...

@Ciravolostone I do thank you Ciravolostane. However I feel compelled to point out that far from receiving a classical education. I failed sand-pit. Fyi "bloke" is more of a 3rd person term as in "he seems a decent kind of a bloke?" Whereas "mate" is more 1st person, as in drunk in a bar "yer know what...Your my mate you are." or "scuse me mate. Got any spare change?" This is bearing in mind local colloquialisms. In Liverpool "mate" will and can be used but "la" (as in the band the La"s) and "kidder" also functions. "Pal" in Glasgow, "Chuck" in Manchester etc.

@Ciravolostone The radical viewpoint is seldom a wise course to steer. Whether it be in religion or politics. Often it very appealing to the young, offering easy answers to complex questions. Where the middle ground is less of a straight line. More a balancing act, leaning one way then the next. I personally would like to see arms manufacturers carry a warning on all their bullets and explosives. "This product uses gelatin. May contain pig." Lets see how they explain that when there are telling them theyll be bonking 98 virgins in heaven. Not if your shot or blown up you wont matey but that might affect sales mmm

WalterWhite comments on Jun 27, 2018:

The site guidelines seem to be good enough in my view, and adults do often let some steam off in these squabbles with no meaningful results from the exchange. So many gray areas and ease with which some people seem to get offended. It's only words people and what we might hear out in the streets ...

273kelvin replies on Jun 27, 2018:

Good idea, seriously. No censorship and no blocking, even members you have previously blocked. A "swamp rat - mud wrestling" group.

Two songs here, yes there are songs and yes its the lyrics that are the prominent force.

TheGreatShadow comments on Jun 27, 2018:

Very cool man! I like the first better, but I must check these guys out! Never heard of this band. I love hearing new (new to me) music. Thanks for sharing!

273kelvin replies on Jun 27, 2018:

From the 70s Pete Atkin was at Cambridge with a writer called Clive James. They never took off as songwriters. Pete went on to produce radio shows for the BBC and Clive became a very successful critic, poet, novelist and TV personality. They still wrote together and Clive always thought that his songs were the best of his work. They sound different because the lyrics come 1st. Then Pete has to fit the music around them. Most songwriters get the tune 1st. Stephen Fry is a big fan as are many others. Definitely a cult following. As for the second song. Its worth it for the closing lines alone. "I sold half the things I value but Ill never count the cost. While I can make a note like broken bracken in the frost"

Politics is a no-no in this group.

bamboozer comments on Jun 26, 2018:

I thought we would be living in another golden age for protest songs by now, there's certainly a lot to protest but no anthems as of yet. I suspect the songs are already out there but are being suppressed and getting no airplay.

@Jonado Check out the music that black south Africans were coming out with under apartheid. No corporate funding there.

really why

273kelvin replies on Jun 27, 2018:

@balou Napoleon said the the "Marseillaise" was worth a whole division of troops. The people campaigning for civil rights in the 60` said the could not have done it if it were not for the songs to keep them going but if you just want your music without the the whole aspect of politics (which a large chunk of our lives)? Then dont join the group, fair enough.

273kelvin replies on Jun 26, 2018:

Because music so often a force for change and/or awareness in society a la Woody. So I thought it might be an idea to have a place where we can discuss this

While I fully support the sentiment of the above, this may also be the reason why so many elders are as lonely as they are. Adventure always has a price, if you can pay it then more power to yuh!
