Putting on some clothes I made my way to school

And I found my teacher

crouching in his overalls

I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine

And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights


(I always fund the slot machine reference very "modern" as they were new to me in the 80s!)

[Keef your earlier post from God Shuffled His Feet has just prompted me to buy the album off t?internet. Great album. I?ve not heard it in ages!]


*You should have said, I'd have copied it for you. You don't meet many others who like them, but I think they're great!)


How does a duck know what direction south is, or how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?

This is from Jah Lush's namesake - Jah Cure - Prison Walls



Behind these prison walls

Doing my paces

Doing my time

I am, Spending my restless nights

Visioning faces

Oh they all crying

Cryyyyyyyyyying

Prison ah nuh bed a roses

The livity it makes me ball

I wish that jah could come and take us back in time

Cause I swear

That I can be a better man

Yes I swear, if only you could understand

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

The faith in me shall set me free reflection



Behind these metal bars

To jah jah im chanting

Pray for your love divine

Im oh so sorry I am

Deeply I am hurting

The price ordained to be mine

Impossible to see the changes, that I've made in my life

All they see is just the boy, they left be behind

And I swear, That I can be a better man

Yes I swear, if only you could understand

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

The faith in me shall set me free reflection



Dont judge me wrong

Cause now i am stronger than I was before

I was young and unwise

Didn't you hear my cry

Impossible to see the change

That I've made in my life

All they see is just the boy i left behind

Cause i swear

I can be a better man

Cause I swear if only you could understand

I swear

I can be a better man

And I swear (if only you could understand), I swear

The faith in me shall set me free relection (reflection)

(repeat line until music fades)

Ooohhh-wheee, look at me

looking for some sympathy

It's the same old story -

- of a man and his search for glory

and he found it, there underneath the bottle

Things are never good, things go from bad to weird

hey gimme another scotch with my beer

I'm sad to say -

- I feel the same today as I always do

gimme a drink to relax me

Ooohhh-wheee, liquor set free

I can't do no work, the shake's inside me

Ahhh, shucks

I got the lousiest luck, I'm sick of this

underneath the bottle

Seven days make a week, on two of them I sleep

I can't remember what the heck I was doing

I got bruise on my leg -

- from I can't remember when

I fell down some stairs, I was lyin' underneath the bottle

Ooohhh0wheee, son of a B.

you get so down, you can't get any lower

So long world, you play too rough

and it's getting me all mixed up

I lost my pride and it's hiddin' there underneath the bottle

Six o'clock already

I was just in the middle of a dream

I was kissin' Valentino

By a crystal blue Italian stream


But I can't be late

'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid

These are the days

When you wish your bed was already made


It's just another manic Monday

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
