Well, the new shopping centre here is a paradise for vain women.
Shame there's no decent shops for anyone else.

Right, I'm off out now, to look at all the vain women!

Thank you Emel, for this.


THE CITY
You said, "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea.
Another city shall be found better than this.
Each one of my endeavors is condemned by fate;
my heart lies buried like a corpse.
How long in this disintegration can the mind remain.
Wherever I turn my eyes, wherever I gaze,
I see here only the black ruins of my life
where I have spent so many years, and ruined and wrecked myself."

New places you shall never find, you'll not find other seas.
The city still shall follow you. You'll wander still
in the same streets, you'll roam in the same neighborhoods,
in these same houses you'll turn gray.
You'll always arrive at this same city. Don't hope for somewhere
else;
no ship for you exists, no road exists.
Just as you've ruined your life here, in this
small corner of earth, you've wrecked it now the whole world
through.

I've still got a cold and need some petting to make me feel better!
A good thumbing would go down well too :)

What tale to tell? umm, the one about me being in a band and you can hear the music and see photos at www.bard.uk.net ?
Nah, that's just too self publicising and I wouldn't want to do that ;)
