Great story Deniz. I wonder if the second guy knew that the first was blind they could have still lived the dream regardless.
Like me, Zan? I live in a dream too. Sometimes I fear waking up and seeing what is happening in this world.
I had this discussion with my in laws last night Deniz. Don't worry...It's an age thing and I am becoming that way as well. Everthing seems to have been much better in the old days but it was not......My trade allows me to find old newspapers under floor coverings that tell of a violent world. Of course there were the two world wars but the one interesting one that I wish I had kept but was to young and foolish to think of it's value was, on the front page, Robert Mitchum caught in a hotel room with another guy and a woman star taking drugs and being promiscuous. On the other columns of the front page was a group of ex-squadies holding up a bank and shooting the bank manager and a man who had chopped his wife to bits with an axe. I have heard many stories from the older generation of Brits at work who say that the Docks were a no go area at night. So today seems no better than it was than but no worse either...Just better reported.
.... so that's where you get your dated ideas from
Yes! Spooky isn't it....Getting news from news papers......And of the time......
Its better than sanitised propaganda and blatant hatred spewed out by Phoenix , isnt it Zan.
