Welcome Jacqui. It has taken me a while to 'clique' on PAS, and I still wonder at times whether I hit the right notes. In fact at times I'm down right discordant, and unfortunately I don't always realise until after the 15 minute bell. That's the problem with being a bit off the cuff, you tend to wear your heart on your sleeve.
[Badoom tish]The little altercation above has made me reflect again on what it's all about, and in Russell's post back a page, and in discussions on the CFS thread, empathy does seem to encompass a lot of what is wonderful about the place, at least for me. It can also expose some fairly selfish tendencies, which I know I have been guilty of in the past, and am trying to do better on, both on here, and in the wider world.
No, it's not a clique, but it is a community, and achieving a sense of belonging requires a bit of effort. Well, it sure has for me. But it's worth it.

Hmm, shall I tell the story about...
Another time maybe. -
Do you have to, do you? Ok, well done, but I don't feel quite the same, for some strange reason.

The implications, as always, are far ranging.
'Friends' with benefits?

Claire Bennett ==> Soul On Ice.
Claire was / is a wonderful voice.
Thanks, and yes, indeed.
Much as I regard anonyms, or whatever they are called, with much disdain being used outside texting, that was LOL, Gio.
And there's where I may undo all my good work. Parody titles (?) are de rigueur round here.
And that, as you say, was a doozy.

more reason to love you, Jack Recodari - and more reason for you to be at the PAS Blend very soon so that we can tell you how much we love your name
Hoping to be, but at the moment I'm scheduled to be in Christchurch. Might try delaying the flight to the morning after, but that might be risky, by all accounts. There won't be any Karaoke, eh, cause that would be embarrassing. Yes, only that...
-
Generational, maybe? I love the name, always have. Though I have only ever known one Jack, that I taught, and only peoples' grandads, or dads otherwise.
My name is Jack. Just sayin'.
MC Jack Hammer in da' house.
Can I get a yo yo yo,
Everybody say,
'perambulator
originator'.
Compotator
be seein' yo' later.What was it you said about White grownups doin' rap?
-
I said 'wow' twice in three lines. What a wowser! Carry on.

I'm guessing you mean a century later? Maybe Soul On Ice? (white kids) Or Ardijah? (brown kids) Or D-Faction?(mixed)
Lead singer was Claire B. I would know if it had been Ardijah.
Wow, at the end of that I was going to say 'how old am I?' 142 as it turns out.
Small world. Tokyo, slightly oddly, more so.
Wow! Very much so. I was standing on a platform at Jiyugoaka, and because I was going to Shibuya instean of Shinagawa, changed from my usual position. Train arrived, doors opened, and standing there was a friend from Uni in Auckland. Walked into another outside Kinokuniya in Shinjuku, and an old flatmate from Wellington turned up in the Yoyogi YMCA 3 days after I arrived.
I was living in Oimachi. It seems likely we knew people. Did you go to Jirocho bar in Ebisu, the little Reggae club?Sorry, we should probably do this off thread.
This typo is making me think of gloriously backwards Steampunk hats and doubled-up chains and "yo yo yo, I say, good sir!" type talking.
You may have just invented a genre. Steampunk Rap.

Lovely post Russell. Wishing your sister all the best, and your mum sounds like a trooper. Mine is 68, and a great grandmother to our children, among many other things.
Oh, am I alone in finding it meh? I totally adore the Beats International track.
Nope, not just you. That song is one of my anthems. SG might be able to correct me here, but I remember it being performed by a local crew in the Playground in 1887-88, and there is a reason I remember it, which I might share one day over a beer or several. This was before Beats International released it, so I'm guessing they were covering this;
Then I was lucky enough (wanker alert) to see Beats International live in Tokyo in 1991, playing at the Bunkamura in Shibuya. That was bloody fantastic.

Yes, my attention dropped away again when this was restated;
wars are not only designed to deal with other matters but that they actually pose a threat to pretty much everything, potentially even human existence.
