C'est la vie, digger! (Usually pronounced with no understanding of "proper" pronunciation of the French language)

And you can have a coffee on me, when we meet, too.

Cheers, Rowan

Well Dick, at least you'll be right for coffee. I wonder what you have to do around here for a pint?

If you can't afford one in Ireland Dick, you wont like the prices over here. Roughly works out at £7 a pint here. Everyone buys their own and never a round.

GUEST SOCIAL SECURITY,the point im trying to make is that I dont receive a penny from the sale of this lp, at this exorbitant price.
I have a job, its a professional musician, [visit my website]and like most professional musicians on the folk scene, once mortgages have been paid theres not a lot left.I can afford a pint [it was a joke],I actually had two last night[Really living it up].,I spent 8 euros,Last of the big spenders.
still you get used to it ,the compensation is the enjoyment, I still get from playing, had great fun last night working out a different arrangement of Scarboro Fair on guitar.
finally, guest social security,at 56 and unskilled in anything apart from music[and blowing my own trumpet]i,m unemployable.
you remind me of Norman Tebbitt and marie antoinettehttp://www.dickmiles.com
