Is the Painter's Link a Rolf original? I`ve done some Carbon dating , and in fact it`s not It was a Catherine Bush CBE original . And this Painting of the Baptist Of J.C. has not been altered in anyway

This might not work ,or then again it might . I like to think that I have a answer for everything, be it right or wrong , I think I do . I`ve been on this spinning rock for quite a bit so I do have a broad scope of things . So this could be a bit of fun , get a good debate about this or that or why they need to have May contain Nuts on packets of nuts . So come on ask away . Anything . * *Maths or Geography not include . In keeping with the title of this thread, does Mr Kite happen to know when we may see the photographs of those members of this Forum from the much lauded 'Meet Up' at this year's International Beatleweek Festival? I believe our illustrious leader Al (The End) did mention back in September that there were photographs taken of every single forum member at The Grapes and that he would post them on this very forum?

Yes , I have the answer ! Al was very out of it that morning/afternoon that day and he wont mind me say`in The lady who took the photo, who I think was someone who Al "knew " while he was in the state And I don`t or anyone else who were there knew who she was . So this answers the question why he has`nt put the photo up yet ( I could be wrong )

So Mr Kite - In keeping with the title of the thread you created, apart from ' Where's Al's photographs from last year's forum meet up' (let's face it, we're never going to see them - and I'm on them! ) what's happening with THIS thread? Just asking like? . I know the project was for 2017/18 only but you're doing a great job. It was always going to be an ambitious timescale but I'm sure you would like to complete the requisite number of albums reviewed? Just think how you would feel if/when you complete all 365? You only have 105 to go - and with no time limit, you can do it at your leisure. Go for it Mr K!

Yes F.T.
Only Al can answer that one .
I`m going to get back to the Project I have to admit that I honestly thought I would smash it in 12 Months as I do listen to a fair bit of Music But even with the new albums I seemed to be struggling with finding new Bands and new albums I can sit through without reaching for the off button But as soon as I hit under 100 I`m going to bore you with all my fav`s and I may even convince people to check them out !

Hello .
It`s an answer for everything . (topical typical) I have answers .
Is there going to be a third world war ?
Yes of course , it`s only a matter of time . The human race would`nt be satisfied until it wipes it self out . I`m not bothered as I wont be called up and more than likely wont be here ( not here , but there , asking God forgiveness or not doing anything important )
Is there such a thing as a climate change ?
Yes , the weather changes all time and I predict that we will finally have summers in the U.K*. and then there will be a water shortage and all hose pipes will be outlawed and the price of bottled water will go up * Manchester not Included .
The most haunted house in England has now finally been sold after 12 years , so are the ghosts willing to time share ?
No . The most haunted house in England is in fact not haunted , never has been and never will be . Ghosts are made up like British trains that run on time and Kiss are in fact a great rock band and the 7th son of a 7th son is a wizard Wizards are also made up .
Do you get more cynical as you get older ?
Without a doubt . In fact I`m so cynical I just don`t even believe any point of taking notice in anything today . I find it all too much I start every conversation with "I don`t want to sound cynical but ..." And people say "Your very cynical " I then reply "I don`t believe you " (In a Bob Dylan voice" )
And so there you have it.

Hello .
Ignore the title for this thread on this post . I`m just going to waffle on about the state of the world in which , I guess must be in it`s darkest time of the modern era since the Two World Wars.
It`s bad is`nt it . And it`s going to get a lot worse before it gets better
I was meant to go on Jury Service to day . but it got cancelled and I went to work instead . A bit insane when after all I`m a window maker and at the state of the U.K. losing more lives every day Windows must be made . When the country finally shuts down , I don`t really expect my fellow Brits are going to handle it . I mean it seems the whole country was going to run out of toilet roll , Pasta and hand gels Very scary indeed I do and thought for a long time now that people really can`t cope with anything that doe`snt involve looking at their phones and being told what to do and what to like . The thing today I guess is that the social media has given all the complete idiots to be complete idiots Back in the day you made an idiot of yourself you felt an idiot and if you were lucky no one would have seen it . Now over half of the planet get to see it ..again and again .. Just check out the lad licking a shelf of hand sanitizer . Anyway . I just hope we get through this and lessons get learned and we don`t have to go through anything like this again . I`ll going to work tomorrow on 2 buses there and 2 buses back , working in a factory of 40 people and the government are telling me to stay home . Oh well .

Hello again . An update .
I`ve Come Home To The Place Where I belong
Well I went to work and then got sent home from work and I`ll get paid . That`s alright . I know it`s a terrible thing that`s going on , there is nothing we can do or say about it that will make everything right . So what I say now is just my thoughts and I`m not in any way saying that this world chaos is a good thing it is`nt So many people have died and I`d sooner be at work this second if I could of stopped it all But I can`t So these are just my observations in the last four or so weeks and even I may slip and give some of my personal life away . I just write the first thing that comes into my head , so how stupid it may sound after I post this .
First of all I got to say that of all the years of coming on here , I have enjoyed every second of it . I have met some wonderful people at The Beatle meets and they all and I mean all are my friends to this day . The Internet has a lot to answer for but it has it`s bright lights in a very dark road . And I`ve seen some very bad things . Then on here we have the people on here I`ve never met . And once again I have thought of them and I mean all of them as my friends . One particular person who we shall not name . He might get big headed and post more weird albums I think , I may be wrong but from the very first day he came on here I have enjoyed every minute with him . It seems that when we were born we must have had the same DNA injected into our humor nodes ( No I dont know what it means either ) So this when I think about it is my home on the net . I went through some very personal tough times a few years ago and I did struggle to find a bit of relief from it , but I came on here and it helped me escape for a few minutes .
Then this happens . The world stopped turning . Job you hate , hate the whole horrible rat race and whats it all for feeling ? I guess it`s not only me on that one .
So we are stuck indoors , not able to see anyone for weeks
Welcome to my world .
Get up without an a alarm going off . Yes . Sit relax have breakfast and go for a walk , which lucky for me I`m 2 minutes away from a nature reserve and miles of fields . Yes . Do jobs that would never be done as your working all week , resting all weekend and If possible enjoying the two days off the best you can And it goes on . As for listening to albums , which you may know I`m a bit found of , I think I did 10 one day . When you think of how times you could just sit down and listen to one !
Christ I`ve loved every second of it . I`ve never felt what it`s like to be a human being for ..Ever . I did hit a rock bottom at one point in my life and I never had anyone to lean on and no help with exception of a few friends I guess the circumstances of how I became in that boat lies tricky with how people can deal with it .
It`s been a bit of a therapy for me And man I say a therapy . I was never offered any therapy , imagine that . So walking in a forest early in the morning with a I Pod and thinking about the years that have gone by and how going earning money is be all and end all . The pressures of life and all the rest and this lifeline turns up and my God , did I then hit the therapy button . I got to a point on Monday ? I had a light bulb moment and I felt alive and then I just got out of the woods (?) I broke down And again and then just had a total hit the wall thing and anyway I got through all my emotions and I came out alive again a human being .
But that was to come later .
Sorry for loss. Strange how life can turn itself upside down in an instant . The thing with me and I guess it`s been clear all my life as much as I can joke around find my highs in Music and Film and humor at the end of the day they are not Tactile if that`s the right way to put it . So I look for something to fill a empty space .
Social Media Yes , it`s that devil in the dark again . many years ago if you can find it I said I would never go near it . But like most of the things we say , we wish we had`nt I turned to the devil . So just posting Music and only music and just going on to talk to people with the same tastes and I`ve met people on there and become good friends. Christ I even talk to one yesterday on the phone and we said it`s Liverpool and get pissed when this is over . I`ve worked with people for 30 years and I might get a text . Incredible How we humans have become a keyboard community . It`s frightening . Is this how we interact and get to meet people , by posting cups of coffee I found nature and then as it turned out I have found love . So I am on Twitter and I have 3 and half thousand followers I must be happy ! No . I get on and I go off it and still feel nothing except I have found a few good friends , just like on here . Strange , it`s now the norm , no chatting girls up in discos and pubs , it`s the net . So one day I end up becoming friends with someone on line just before the lockdown . Weeks go by we chat in private we have a laugh and before I and her knew it we became an item If that`s a way to put it . In different countries This is`nt a relationship , we`ve never met . But days go by and I don`t know why but I let my barrier down and I have fallen so in love with her Insane ! But that`s what`s happened I`ve been through all the emotions I can tell you . But it`s happened And when this is all over I`ll be going to see her and see how it goes . What have I to loose ? I resigned myself to spending the rest of my life on my own and one night falling asleep in a chair in a home and not waking up Sod that , I want to go for a walk with someone I love , take off my boots and put the kettle on and get warm by a fire and do the things that we as humans do Live life . It may all go wrong , but things do , but if it works , I`ll be happy for as long as it works I`m in love .
And off social media , and it feels good

Thanks for your support.
Yes , it`s free style waffle time .
Ok then , Boris is paying me to stay at home and go for a walk every day 1 Hour walk Hell , I did 3 hours this morning and I really did`nt think it was enough , it`s such a beautiful day and it`s just gone 2 o clock and I`ve had to come in from the back garden to bore you lot , as it`s bloody hot ! and it`s only April !
it`s great being British as your allowed to talk about the weather and there`s nothing you can do about it .
Being far skinned and coming from the 2nd wettest place on the planet the 1st being the Ocean ( not bothered which they are all wet ) I should`nt be sat in it as I will burn But the cards I was dealt with by him up stairs is just a nuisance I get on with it.
Love the sun , love everything about it - Crap skin
Love to be able write and not spend 5 minutes on how to spell long words , or ask Google and where the the ` supposed to go .
Tried almost all my life to try and learn a instrument as this really is Mecca , but I have this thing with Music is, why listen to me playing crap for an hour when you can just put a Album on .
Love to swim with the fish in the Coral , love swimming in the sea - Can`t swim ( Well I sink a lot )
You see how this is going .
I should`nt complain . When was the last time you watched T.V. ? Day I finished work
When was the last time you cared what day it was ? The last time I started work on a Monday and wished it was Friday .
When was the last time you stood in a forest and just listened to the birds singing in trees ? This Morning Try it .
When was the last time you bought Toilet Rolls ? Feel silly now ?
When was the last time you hugged someone ? Yeh , that`s out of the window
When did that become a thing I never even had a hug off my mother growing up . They were simpler days then One car in the street , go round the posh neighbors to use the phone All watch the same program as they were only 3 channels and have a chat about it the school yard . Remember them days when kids use to talk to each other face to face Oh , take me back to those good old days .
Anyway , it`s time to get back in the garden and burn my feet .
Thanks for listening and make sure you wash your hands

I bet the shelves of house hold cleaning products arn`t empty .
Yes people 3 in a row . It`s free style , everything I do is free style because most of the time I don`t know what I`m doing .
This is true . The job I have now i`ve been doing for 30 years . And I get at work people saying to me
"Do you know what your doin ?"
And
" This is the best way to do it "
I mean really .
"O.k. thanks, I cant believe I`ve been doing it this way wrong for 30 years , It`s amazing I have a job "
Ha !
Don`t you love people .
Went for my 1 hour , nearly 3 hour walk this morning . The first thing was the woods . Again as many times I`ve done that now , it`s like the first time . If I was in charge of the after life I think that`s what design I`d go for Eternity in the woods , sun shining through the new leafs on the trees with a dawn chorus that comes from above , with a little brook trickling in the background . Heaven .
As for Heaven . You can see sky now , yes when you live in Manchester you actually believe that it`s only in movies But no, we have sky . The World is healing itself and it is good My God (no pun intended ) is this heaven on Earth . ( Yes , a reverse psychology mike drop there )
I`d like to ponder on Religion as it`s my favorite topic when comedy is involved ) ( Life Of Brian , Noah`s Ark , Ben Hur )
Ever watched Talk Heathen on You Tube ? It`s brilliant I watch it every week . It`s a live show every week in which people ring in to try and convince two 2 ex Christian followers that there is a God

Hello !
Well you missed it, I did a post this morning at 6.00 clock in the morning eating a bowl of cheerios .
I was in a bit of strange place .
But I`m here .
It`s waffle in the house yo ! B atch n that .
I love waffles , heated up in the toaster and a very large blob of ice cream on top .
Anyway .
It`s Sunday . I know , I know what day it is . So whats been going on since yesterday . Nothing much . But I`m sure is going to come in a ....Minute .
Oh yeh ! I had the funniest text chat ever with my St. Helens ish mate Paul . You know I hav`nt laughed so much like that , forever . I was just peeing myself . He`s joined on here , I made him But like most people , they can`t be arsed and he says he`s not good with technology Learn Paul ! Learn ! , hey I just remembered I have a son called Paul .
Ok then ! That`s what we are havin. I have to set it up . I told him I`m in love and also we are both Bird Watchers . So this is how it went , word for word .
Me . I`m in love
Paul . Same here my friend
Me . We had a Sparrow Hawk take out some birds , I missed it , I`m in love , next door and not on dates
Paul . We used to get a Sparrow Hawk sitting in our garden , saw it take a little bird , sad but thats how they live also
Me, Yeh natural order mate and I`m in love
Paul , Did you say you were in love as I missed it
Me, Did`nt I mention it ?
Paul , It reminds me of Woody Allen in one of his films ...Not sure of the exact quote but "Life is a big Kitchen "
Me I love Woody Allen
Paul , Mention what
Paul , I know your in love
Me , It`s a restaurant , Annie Hall
Paul , Thats it

Me, Brilliant , I`m pissing myself
Paul , I going for a walk , laters
Me, Ok my love . . ( Predict a text )

So that`s all I have I think . Who`s missing the rat race ? Stupid question I know , but really , who ?! , who ? Anyway , it`s not been a wit or anything to exciting on this post , but I`m sure things will get ..Intense Be careful out there Lets roll . Laters

And here I go again .
It`s off the cuff and I am bringing news .
A letter went out from work that we will be slowing starting production from the 11 th of May.
A very strange feeling went through me when I read it .
I`m going back to a job I don`t like anymore , well I say anymore . But it`s the money .
I have really found myself over these weeks and I have found that the simpler things in life are more important .
I have pondered over it . You can though , you can sit for a few hours looking over the hills and I think about stuff .
I have realized at lot of things .
When I was in my late teens I was a very happy person , I loved life and all that went with it . I grew my hair , had a life style that was going to be how I am for the rest of my life . Nothing was going to sway me any way . You know the Rush song , I think I`m Going Bald ?
Once we loved the flowers Now we ask the price of the land Once we would take water But now it must be wine Now we've been And now we've seen What price peace of mind.
I got that then You just think , God that`s what it`s like when your an adult ?! It`s not for me .
And then before you know it , your dragged into the whole rat race . Which you know really is the only way you survive on this rock .
But then this happens and you get to see life .
The song ends .
Take a piece of my mind My life is slipping away I'm aging every day But even when I'm grey I'll still be grey my way.
Such a simple song , it`s not even a classic Rush , but it says so much of my life and I`m going out my way .
I stood in a stream the other day just watching water run . Beauty comes in strange things and I have found beauty and I intended to keep hold of it as long as I can .
