Subject: RE: BS: WAV with Pics From: The Sandman Date: 31 May 19 - 06:17 PM no he lives near schull county cork ireland, but frommanchester originally |
Subject: RE: BS: WAV with Pics From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 31 May 19 - 01:51 PM He lives in Manchester now, Sandman? May have been on the local news which I have missed lately due to watching Roland Garros and the Giro, after work. Heading south, my "Impressions of London in 1997" (with photos taken 3 or 4 years ago) |
Subject: RE: BS: WAV with Pics From: The Sandman Date: 30 May 19 - 12:55 PM The Irish dpp said there was insufficent evidence to prosecute, in france you are guilty until you can prove your innocence, he is being tried in his absence in france, it is [as i understand] a civil case which requires less evidence. |
Subject: RE: BS: WAV with Pics From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 29 May 19 - 06:16 PM No - I had to do a web-search, Sandman; is it the chap in the news on trial at the moment? Either way, I hope to get back into both the folk and poetry club and festival scenes again but, as I say, I've been spending a fair bit of my spare time lately revisiting places with my camera. |

Subject: RE: BS: WAV with Pics From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 26 May 19 - 04:32 AM Agreed, Sandra - although not a surfie, I have bumped into a few of our world's most famous beaches and those around Sydney are hard to beat. And, when I visit my elderly parents there every year, what I appreciate most is the beautiful rock pools (as in the above Cronulla poem), where I can enjoy the fresh sea water, without too much swell, such that I can keep my glasses on. |
Subject: RE: BS: WAV with Pics From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 25 May 19 - 09:20 PM thanks for the pics, the other beaches are a tad different to Australia's beaches! |
Subject: RE: BS: WAV with Pics From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 25 May 19 - 03:45 AM I think you hit the wrong button, Dave, but keeping calm and carrying on with upper lip stiff... Not to compare myself in any other way, Gandhi and Mandela probably disliked their status quo at least as much as I do - one fought with non-violent non-cooperation, the latter resorted to terrorism. Having been born in Saint Mary's Hospital, Manchester, the day Alf Ramsey's English team won the FIFA World Cup, and been highly trained in Australia and (too a lesser extent) England, I keep promoting WalkaboutsVerse (The lazy answer would have been - if you don't like it, go to hell.) |
