morris_minor1958 Wow, I love your swords! The samurai one is my favourite. You are so lucky - the person who gave you that for Xmas must really like you :) I don't own any swords myself - I gave them all away not long ago - but to me the pen is mightier than the sword...

Australia rite now is in its worst drought in recorded history and we the have the water restrictions to prove it. Now the Victorian state government has taken it upon themselves to cut people who they say use too much waters use...

morris_minor1958 They should think about this before it gets to that stage I guess. They're getting fair warning now of the penalties that are involved, and if they continue to waste water then that's their problem. And I think the government will be sensible about the limits...

Isn't it about time that we let this go now? mean fair enough people want to discuss this issue but I think we should now get over it. It's already happened. If we can just get over this then maybe we can get over the whole...

morris_minor1958 Well, yes and no - I mean it only happened a week ago! And it was a pretty politically defining moment, coz now there's a precedent set and the US can feel somewhat justified if they try to do the same thing in the Congo or in North Korea for example. And I...

Why is it I hardly ever get responses. Can anyone help to figure out how to get more, are my posts getting out there? Are they boring. The general discussion button I use alot. Is this the problem? Is there someone out there that...

morris_minor1958 Well it seems to me that the topics that get the most responses are those that are very controversial or that are human interest ones. For example, your posts about your swords are great, but it doesn't prompt people to reply much as they don't feel strongly...

First of all, thanks to all my friends, and others, that sent prayers, good wishes, and encouraging words. Every little bit helps... Craig had a mass, the size of an orange, removed from his bowel. His bowel was 90% obstructed....

I share a small half-house with my friend's cat (and him!). While I love Mo dearly, it's got me thinking about how well a cat trains us to cater for their every whim. He lets me know exactly when he wants to be let in or out, when...

morris_minor1958 Oh yeah, you're so right about that! Although I remember when I was little we used to dress up our old tomcat in doll's clothes and make little fancily-decorated beds for him out of cardboard boxes... so occasionally you'd have to put up with looking a little...

morris_minor1958 Nah, I hates the little bugger.... :) I guess I don't mind doing things for him though because he can't do them for himself, like getting outside, getting food (well, without catching small crunchy creatures), even getting fresh water. So it's almost as if...

No disrespect to anyone elderly out there, but some older drivers can be downright scary! I'm not talking about those drivers whose many years of experience make them a safer, more cautious driver, but those whose small...

morris_minor1958 Yeah, that's so true - it's a bit like drinking I guess... And just like that there's those that are sensible about it, those who'll have a bit of fun, and those who take it to extremes without a care for the consequences, and it's that small percentage that...

morris_minor1958 Well, I know it's hard to hear this, but I think if he's failing to turn up so many times then he's just not really all that into you, except for when he's bored or needs someone to give him some attention and make him feel good. Believe me, if he really liked...

morris_minor1958 It's so hard to choose one... I'm a bit biased though in that they're usually Paul ones :) Can I choose two? I think Carry that Weight/The End is great - beautiful melody in the beginning and I love the lyric "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the...

morris_minor1958 I've heard of him but never heard his music, although i'm pretty sure I know 'Walking the Dog' thinking about it... But he must be pretty good to be able to play both Elvis and Johnny Cash! Have you seen the Johnny Cash movie 'Walking the Line'? If so, what...

morris_minor1958 :) That's what me and my dad did too. I especially like the buildup to Get Back using, amongst other things, the drum solo and guitar battle from Carry that Weight/The End. Oh, and Drive My Car/The Word is damn cool too! I wish I'd gotten the DVD version...
