I'm here again on a visit to tell you I haven't forgotten you, to tell you that I'm fed up with work and intend to retire in the course of this year and I'll be able to explore much more of your writings. Is there more to come?
Have a very rewarding week, Alan!

I enjoyed the 01Prelude poetry on your site
The essence and majestic with shades of light
while musing the rich tapestry of life
Amidst my anguish and my holy veil of strife
The secret is in the keys of Peter
to administer out the depth of metre
I am impressed in angelic awe
Perhaps you can supply, a wee bit more

Hi Alan! Back, drawn to this site like a fly to honey. I always find something interesting. Take care!

Doesn't take much to push your buttons, does it? Take a chill pill! Welbutrin is pretty good. That's what the doc gives me. Accept my apology? I have bipolar syndrom as well.

Reading, reading - and your blog on another website. There's a lot to absorb, and it's absorbing stuff, too. But now, I HAVE to work. I don't even have time to "play" with the newest photos of Oslo, Drammen and Kongsberg which I took 2 weeks ago. Have a rewarding week !

Hello Alan! Thanks for visiting my site. Guestbook next time? Today, I read "Kathy". I loved it. It describes so many things at the same time that even Kathy seems to be forgotten - although it's her story - until I realized that Kathy, without being central, was ... everywhere. Strange! How did you manage that?
(Posted on 2008-04-22 18:02:00 by ) -
I too have been visiting your site Christine :-) Great fun :-)
(Posted on 2008-04-21 06:44:00 by ) -
Hello Alan! Today I took a little trip to your Blog-land which I wasn't aware of. A lot to read! I have just flown over a little too fast - faster than the Canada geese flying over my garden on their way to the northernmost part of Northern Norway. I especially enjoyed the therapy sessions, though. My work is coming along nicely and I'll soon be able to come back more frequently. I'm looking forward to that. Have a nice week!
(Posted on 2008-04-20 14:09:00 by ) -
Hello Alan! I am back. Today I read Poetry 2. It went straight to my heart. Am still under the ... shock? I'll come back tomorrow.
Have a pleasant day!

'some sad sob story'? What? Like 'My child is going to die in a week, in agony, because selfish bitches like Bridgette the idjit feels 'very strongly' about it?' What a totally dumb and callous bitch she is eh?
(Posted on 2008-01-16 16:58:00 by ) -
Hy Bridgette; tell all that pompous, self-righteous, bullshit to some grieving mother whose child has been just knocked down by a drunk-driver and who needs a new liver to save his life. You talk (technical phrase this) through your dumb arse :-)

Dear Mr Corkish , I have just perused your wall of fame and found that you support the organ donor foundation . I don't . I don't believe in donating to charities and I most certainly don't believe that we should be encouraging people into a greater sense of irresponsibility and deeper complacency in expecting them to wilfully degrade their bodies and rely on picking up new organs with some sad sob story . We ought to leave this world with with that with which we arrived . Nothing more . People have to come to terms with reality and death when it occurs is a part of the reality of life and its processes . I have written a strongly worded article to Gordon Brown on his proposal of "presumed consent " . It is effectively a return to the dark age of plunder and privateering when he can think he can simply steal people's organs under the guise of some concocted form of unprecedented legislation his cabinet of cohorts cook up . People must learn to live realistically . As a psychotherapist you must understand the trauma people go through when a loved one is lost . It is unfair , unethical and degrading for him to want to implement his proposal knowing that the multitude of people in such a situation situation , who are grieving , are ignorant of their rights . He is being a bully and deserves a good smack to deliver him into reality . What he proposes is illegal , and an act of extortion . He looks to Spain as an example . Many nations have a very poor impression of the Spanish , all evidenced by the Spanish Conquistadors . Spain is a very poor example to follow as their sanguine history , like that of the British proves . He ought to be ashamed of himself for even thinking up the proposal leave alone making a public declaration of it . He is not prime minister material . An organ donation is an act of charity and charity is contracted between two parties not via some governemnt brokerage and trumped up legilation fronting for a financial scheme . I read in the international press of the continuous complaints of the expanding population depleting resources on that island . Euthenaising people is what they ought to be doing to afford them some relief from supporting and maintaining artificial life forms , thereby investing the funds , research and resources in productive people who contribute to the economy and the country as a whole . Organ donations should not be confused with the dole .

Dear Mr Corkish , if I can correctly remember the content of my comment , I had enquired as to the reason for you posing with the Gormley Statue . I can see that you are both nude . Is there an artistic message in the photo ?
