^ HA! Thanks. I was actually thinking about starting a gun collection to display prominently in my home to instill a bit of fear into whatever young men start coming around.
I haven't logged on in nearly 2 weeks?!?! It's amazing, everyone tells you you'll find you have no time to yourself, or not know where the time goes when you have kids, but you can't understand until you experience it. It's like I'm living in a time warp!

Well I get to look after my two granddaughters tomorrow as the rest of the family can't get the time off work but I can, so I volunteered As it looks like it's gonna p1ss down with rain here in Cornwall I've got some idea of what I want to do but suggestions would be welcome. Plenty of nibbles, card games, Mah Jong etc and I hope not to have the TV on all day. They've done their holiday work from school, but I think I'll leave it up to them in the end. Don't think I'll play any Tull to them as the response is normally along the lines of "Gramps is playing his music again, just nod your head, pretend to listen and smile".

standing right next to a Canadian Timber wolf with blue eyes! i37.images obliterated by tinypic/2wdagqb.jpg[/IMG] not quite as blue as this but very impressive to say the least. Met a Swedish man who lives in the next county to me and he keeps wolves and wolf dogs in his 300 acre forest He brought one into town to see how it would react to people/cars and sudden noises... in a very small town The animal was mesmerising, he sat very docile like, however I had no inclination to touch him but just couldn't stop staring at canis lupus!

The absolute kindness and thoughfulness from a certain TUll fan - more later... ;D Salamander and I have been chatting for over a couple of years now thanks to Tull bringing us together (Live Chat room) ;D. She's a great person and wish I could meet her one day. My daughter is having her first baby in just over a weeks time and suprise suprise I had a package delivered last week - a beautiful quilt made by Salamander for the new baby. What made the gift (family heirloom now) even more special, if that was possible, was Sal said that while she was making it she listened to Tull in the background. Thanks Sal and thanks Tull for all the great fans over the years.

And to you as well! And also, that Sal....she's a cool chick.

Mini-vacation looms: Sunday eve plane to Denver and four days in the rockies skiing, seeing friends from my paleozoic era (born there: 1957) and enjoying uninterrupted time with my 5 year old who will ski, sled, skate and sniffle....well, she's not used to the cold but it will make her stronger. I'll be posting when I tire her out...BTW-my paleozoic era friends remain true to Tull...in some ways it's sad when you go home and your schoolday cronies seem kinda stagnant...but when it comes to Tull...I'm glad the winds of change haven't gotten to them!

Steel, have a great mini vacation with your daughter. Don't break anything skiing. My eldest granddaughter has just got her left arm out of a cast as she broke it falling in the snow we had here a month or so ago - that made my week. Regarding cronies I understand your remark. A couple of old, and dear friends who I've known for just under half a century became "suits" many years ago - one in insurance and one in banking. They've never been the same again. From pot smoking hippies wearing loon pants, flowery shirts and tripping out on Jefferson Airplane to pinstripe suited city gents in just a few years. 'Tis a shame but they probably see it as how you progress in this world.

Graphic Irish example of no change. My OH pointed out a couple of boys he went to school with who were still standing and propping up the same stone wall staring at passing cars in the town 20 years on. Don't forget though- maybe they were happy?

Funny thing...I left Denver in 1975...never to return beyond a short vacation every now and then...and the aforementioned homies, leaning on the wall watching traffic in the old bad boys smoking hangout by the high school STILL ask when am I coming 'home'. I was in Denver for 17 years and in SF the past 35! I probably won't break anything on the slopes...I ski like an old man when I'm alone and even more cautious propping the kid between my legs...no one is in danger except the people overhead on the lifts who might die laughing.

No...in fact, I've adopted an opposite startegy...I did the math...starting at the stadium sized crowds of the 1976 tour and decreasing thru arenas, medium size halls, theaters and casinos....I think Jethro Tull will be playing a concert in my house sometime in the next few years....so no recruits...in fact, I'll sponsor some of the naysayers to continue criticizing Tull till the living room gig is financially and popularity-wise their only option.

Can I book your really nice armchair with the antique footstool for a couple of the concerts please? Nice cup of coffee during the interval would be appreciated as well. I'll send you the cost of the ticket as soon as the gig's announced on the official site.

The concert for an audience of Two will precede the concert for an audience of One, according to my mathematical calculations...so...yeah, sure...When the time comes ....we can talk about it over here on the sidelines for the world cup....looks like your guys are moments away from depositing you here.

England should have got that goal - they have the technology to analyse and track the players movements every second of the game yet they can't (afford) to have the tech to check the accuracy of a goal ?/ hand on heart no cheap Jock jibes - but would it have made any difference to the overall game?

nothing made my week, a tull freind I made in 08 Has totally deleted me for posting from Queen and Country. that perhapw todays solders have SOLD THIER SOUL. cause they go and KILLLLLLLLL for America. You know what? iM DONE. Tull fans are the most judgemental , whil they totally ignore the words of thier favorate band , that they diss agree with. Im done being a tull fan. if it means being a fan that so many judgemental, and hiporcritical people love...... [ edited by Nonrabbit]
It is my opinion that your post is best suited for a PM rather than making a contribution to the Forum and therefore I have deleted the personal attack you made at the end. I have not deleted the whole post , as yet, to see if any intellectual debate can be forthcoming.
I think any subject is up for debate provided it's done in an mature and interesting way.

I find, overall, the lyrics of Tull to be anti-war, anti-bloodshed, anti-brutality, anti-imperialist and against the arrogance of countries like my own who fantasize about exporting a way of life on other cultures, thru war or mix up liberation and freedom with the more venal expansion of markets....at the same time, I think Ian acknowledges the times that defending one's country is neccessary and sacrifice and battle for ideals and dignity does, sadly, become inevitable at times. John Lennon seems to have found ways to articulate the duality of desire for world peace with the unrealistic notion of ALWAYS turning the other cheek....Dylan and neil Young also address these themes....but Ian is right up there in my book, on these topics.
