That occurred during an evening showing of the semi-documentary movie, San Demetrio, London, at my old school when one of my classmates brought a girlfriend who sat behind me, and frequently kicked the back of my chair. Alas, in this case, I remember her name and it wouldn't be fair to go further. Even though I can still feel those chair vibrations.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-80951860999605622412011-07-09T02:24:26.520+01:002011-07-09T02:24:26.520+01:00I, too, have been wordless.

Of course I wouldn't have known, couldn't have known, that this would have denied me writing this re-comment to a fellow living in an exotic place like Kent. A/W is simply a shorthand way of saying I should suppress any future tendencies to write about intimate matters (see next re-comment to Julia) and limit myself to motorbikes, pressbrakes, non-stick frying pans and other manifestations of the material world.<br /><br />Julia: Your comment is the most salutary of all suggesting, as it does, that it is possible to come up with a piece of stuff so brilliant, so intimate, so piercing, so memorable, that no one will be be tempted - will even dare to - respond. A border has clearly been crossed and I must dig out my passport and find some old-fashioned currency that will enable me to return to a less vivid world, scarred but ably instructed. <em>Děkuji.</em>Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-62976937785600611012011-07-07T21:53:00.769+01:002011-07-07T21:53:00.769+01:00Hard to comment on, but it is an unforgettable sto...Hard to comment on, but it is an unforgettable story.Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381204473168533313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-32459874760840041992011-07-07T21:46:46.742+01:002011-07-07T21:46:46.742+01:00Just think - you might have been still living in B...Just think - you might have been still living in Bradford, keeping homosexual bull terriers, BB.<br />(What's with the A/W bolts, then?)Avushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512540148378201058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-54303110479671150602011-07-06T06:38:06.776+01:002011-07-06T06:38:06.776+01:00All: Didn't work did it?

In fact, the unpromising background was what caused my teenage infatuation to occur. Any woman capable of shrugging off the dog's bizarre behaviour and offering me support in my unladdish predicament seemed to deserve my contemporary affection.

Have you seen the film, "Beginners" with Christopher Plummer. It is quite good. And there is a dog who can understand up to 150 words, but cannot speak. The film addresses love. And I would watch it again.Rouchswalwehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01393987883437907945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-74885785586335123392011-07-04T21:51:51.733+01:002011-07-04T21:51:51.733+01:00I think this post has left most of your fans wordl...I think this post has left most of your fans wordless.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763772100015353700.post-62900460819156671482011-07-04T16:11:48.731+01:002011-07-04T16:11:48.731+01:00His determination is to be applauded, though.
