Danny Boy

Oh darling Narnia - do you have a fever too?

Must try harder (or at least read the effin thread).

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

There will be a short intermission while I go out for more booze - I should be back in time for The Mentalist.

Just going for a walk chaps, I may be some time.

[Narnia]

It's not on a plank fer god's sake is it?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Be assured, Davy Jones will have to wait a while.

My head hurts. My neck hurts. My glands are swollen and my throat is sore. I have prescribed Whisky Macs - just taking the first dose now.

With any luck I'll zonk out and wake up in time for a little TMS.

Love Eric Clapton playing it...simple.

Oh Pam50 - you dark horse (with apologies to George Harrison). That was lovely. Many thanks.

[Narnia]

Janey.......I was about to add that one.

[Pam50]

Wordsworth knew what that song was about...

Will no one tell me what she sings?--

Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow

For old, unhappy, far-off things,

And battles long ago:

Or is it some more humble lay,

Familiar matter of to-day?

Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain,

That has been, and may be again?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Pam, I think I'm in love with you.

[Saila]

I'm really moved by this song.

i heard a story once, about a woman who'd just burried her mother a week earlier. Her mum helped out with babysitting and cared for their son (Daniel) whilst she was out at work.

Clearing out her son's bedroom she randomly pressed play on his bright, yellow tape recorder and out came her mother's voice singing Danny Boy... gently to her son.

really sad - i cried loads.

it was a chosen inheritance track on radio 4 for the above reason

[Narnia]

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there - I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamond glints on snow

I am the gentle Autumn's rain

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

When you awaken in the morning's hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush,

Of quiet birds on circled flight

I am the soft stars

that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there,I did not die.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

My head hurts. And I'm having the weirdest sensation when drinking coffee - I can feel it go down all the way to my chest.

I need cheering up - this thread is not allowed to become maudlin. Saila and Narnia are now banned until they have eaten from the toast of happiness.

[Narnia]

Oh yeah..........like Danny Boy would cheer anyone up! Wonder why your heads hurts? The medicine you purchased last night perhaps?
