MeJustHavingFun, I know a lovely big straight man, about 56, from Holland, about 6 foot 5, who would LOVE to become better acquainted with Papa. A lovely couple, no?
Papa, if you quote a paper which has any credibility, I will take notice of your points.
If
I have a limited education, you must have none. I would complain about your disuse - or complete ignorance towards - capital letters, but I decided to give you a rest. It must be really hard for you to keep coming up with irrelevant answers without answering anyone else's queries.
And since this has become a personal argument, I'll answer as you would have me do. I have greater talents/abilities and less of an ego than you will ever have, my friend. I sincerely hope that when I've reached your superior number of years, I'll have achieved yet more. And sincerely hope that by then I will not have regressed to the almost child-like state of ignorance that you have.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
