Wow, we're the same age Tim! Do you know that Daren Geraghty is 3 years older than we? And Liam O'Kane, he is only one year younger than we. So..we couldn't be sooooo ooooold, you know? :lol:

Yesterday I attended my grandmother's funeral. She reached the age of 88 and died peacefully. She was my last living grandparent and I was very fond of her so it feels strange to miss her now. But it was a beautiful ceremony. One of my aunts played the piano and she played Chopin's Prelude in C minor - the exact same piece that The Fountain is based on. I already had a special feeling for that song but now even more so...

Well I got back from Europe last Saturday. It was a great trip. I wish I could have went skiing a little more. We were planning on skiing for a day and a half in St. Anton, but we were only able to go for one day. The views were breathtaking. One of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. Other than that we drove the entire length of Germany...twice. I think we hit almost every major city.
I definitely want to go back to St. Anton to ski a little more.

Lead, kindly light amid the circling gloom.
Lead thou me on.

Oh, my condolences to you, Maarten. Glad that you were able to have her with you for so long.

I also remembered today is a year after Epsom (and my first ever Evensong proper, which was the 17th). It's been quite a year and 2012 looks like a good one too :)

Dear all,

I think the stress levels were a bit high these days, but that’s not really what I should talk about here. I just wanted to say I have received a few (or probably more) indirect complaints about my writing patterns and postings that have hurt and annoyed people.

Therefore I really do apologize for that and I promise to slow down on such postings in the future. There are no intentions to hurt anyone.

If somebody still dislikes me strongly, please ignore my posts.
Thank you.

Kind regards,
D.

Tell them to mind their own business Murkskis. I haven't seen anything that you have posted that would upset anybody. English isn't your first language; whilst you do speak, read and write English to an excellent standard, people need to consider that you are conversing in a foreign language

Me on the other hand, well, I'm just deliberately offensive.
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

Dear Murkskis!

Please do not stop posting, you are one of our most prominent and respected posters. I have not had a problem with anything you have posted; all your posts have been in line with forum rules. If anyone has issues with your posts, it is there problem, I would be interested to see some examples of what people are complaining about and give them a little piece of my mind. I'm sure there would be no legitimate reason for complaint and if anything, I would be just a language barrier. I think that is improbable as I find your English very good.

Thanks for the support. I appreciate that.
There are some other personal reasons.


Edit 2. I closed my Twitter account. I suddenly realized what was the true reason ....
