Thoskit;

I thank you for you kind advice and concern for my families well being. Rest assured, Things in the US are no where near as bad as the media is painting. Most of the hurt has been taken by those who should have seen it coming.

As for the election, I'll quote Aesop;

A SHEPHERD, watching his Ass feeding in a meadow, was alarmed all of a sudden by the cries of the enemy. He appealed to the Ass to fly with him, lest they should both be captured, but the animal lazily replied, "Why should I, pray? Do you think it likely the conqueror will place on me two sets of panniers?' "No," rejoined the Shepherd. "Then," said the Ass, "as long as I carry the panniers, what matters it to me whom I serve?' In a change of government the poor change nothing beyond the name of their master.

One might think you're just trying to dissuade me from bidding.

Rest easy. I'm no wealthy Chip merchant. I'll fall off at £8. I've already got #763. As for Simon's copy being cursed or degraded in some way, I'd have to disagree. It's in rather pristine condition as none of the love has been taken from it yet.

Meeooww, Treo was that an £8 bid??.
Actually I've just copied 'Sunrise' 'The Undivided' 'Ecce Chorus Virginum' and 'Yonderlea' on to my personal 'Best of Album'.

I hope not. Not for my own sake, you understand, but because there's this evil wizard who has sworn that every time someone bids more than me he is going to drown both an especially cute kitten & a fluffy little bunny rabbit

Of course, folks, if that doesn't bother you then go right ahead & keep bidding...


Treo, I shall wish you luck with whichever of the Asses ends up playing the role of shepherd. I didn't think you were a Chip Merchant...

...but Simon is!

Bartender, another saucer of milk over here, please...........

Oh no! Pat is the aforementioned Evil Wizard in disguise! That was him just preparing to lure the latest kitten into his clutches!

Everybody, THINK OF THE KITTENS!

For the sake of the small furry animals, I withdraw.

Thoskit, enjoy it well.

(*sigh*) Namaste`

So a paultry bid of £1 is leading the auction for this signed LTD edition copy of ILLUMINATION. I was lead to beleive that it is a good album. Does nobody want at least to donate to the Baebes charity. Christmas coming up, a chance for a very cheap prezzie. Not the first time that Baebes fans have disappointed me.

Sometimes, just sometimes, when reading posts I really wish that I had not been obliged to give up drinking alcohol four years, seven months & twenty seven days ago. Ho, s dding, Hum!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yippee!

Now I get to hear this album wot everyone's been going on about recently.

Congratulations Thoskit!
Please pm me your address.



Sent you a pm of my address.



I shall add £50 to got to the Baebes cancer charity.

Simon - probably not the best thing to do post your address on a public forum

Thanks Sparkles, It is only my address. I hope I don't get stalked. A lot of people have there addresses in the phone book anyway but I guess I'll be ok.

I do hope that's not a suggestion that PMing me the address was unwise

If so, may that gorgeous-looking minature panther turn on you & maul you, Sparkly One!

After all, I'll be providing Simon with my name & address too, & it's not like he'd be very hard to track down in real life if anyone did want to stalk him - there can't be many Birmingham chippies with the sound of the Baebes blasting out from them!

No not at all! Simon originally posted his address in his posting above (which he's since edited) for everyone to read. Was just trying to protect him from any nasties that may of taken offence to being called a sheep etc etc

Yes but you havent called most of the people in the phone book a sheep etc etc or have you?! Just didnt want Bobbovino turning up on your doorstep
