Tell me what you think of it!

I will do, I must first sweet talk my wife into routing about in the right box for it

have you no bookshelves?

Yes but a few of the less frequently needed books are still in boxes from when I moved uo to Burnley

Why Burnley?

And by the way you'd better post a real poem / limerick on thet thread

DBTS is spitting feathers that we broke the rule that every post there should be a poem

I have written one begging forgiveness - tongue firmly in cheek as per usual!

It's really erotic

And rather beautiful

The Victorian Bibles left it out

There are some beautiful Renaissance pieces for choir with the words from the S of S. As you say, quite erotic, and I understand from the Catholics in the choir that they used to read it as young girls to get a cheap thrill and feel a bit racy!!

I met a wonderful woman with a lovely daughter from Burnley. I moved to be with them!

I've done a poem it may be rubbish but i've done a poem .

What's Burnley like?

Is it in Lancashire?

It is a quiet town of about 90,000 people. The sad thing about it is the lack of funding to develop the town. The people need new business to come to the town to generate new life. The people are a great laugh, they give everyone a chance and they will not pre judge.

Yes we are in East Lancashire, about 30 miles north of Manchester and 10 miles east of Blackburn.

We seem to have our own weather system as we are surrounded by 7 hills.

Lucky you!

i love climbing hills and mountains

You would love it around here, there are hills everywhere. Plays merry hell with my wheelchair

Well I can't honestly say I'd enjoy trying a mountain in a wheelchair, but have you checked ebay for top of the range sporty wheelchairs?

Since all the paralympic malarkey I am sure they now build very lightweight ones that would maybe easier on different types of terrain.

I think I would have a look as I was recently looking at classic bicycles but actually the cool ones were rather expensive so I have decided to fix up my old Claude Butler with new parts

Well duh how dumb am I (don't even think of answering that Richard!)

I had never even thought of that. Sometimes my brilliance staggers me!

Might be fun to get some soet of motorised one and fix it up with chrome bumpers, roll bars, 2 tone horn, go faster stripes, there's a tv prog my kids watch called Pimp my car - why not pimp my chair?

I like the sound of that, the cheesiest wheelchair in Britain. I might even enter the London to Brighton rally and see how many vintage cars I can overtake!
