Merry whatever you're celebrating, if anything!
« on: December 25, 2020, 12:04:37 AM »
Just gone midnight. I raise a glass of Penderyn 'Celt' single malt to you all.
I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

Cheers Mr Scuppertea.

I have progressed through red wine & port to Irish whiskey.

I will see tomorrow but I'm not entirely sure I will welcome it gracefully.

It doesn't matter is something is a myth or just a legend, from a scientific or historical perspective. Many stories have the power to elevate us and make us humble.
They help us to connect to something higher than ourselves and rise beyond the mundane.

Wise words, Mr S. Who cares if any of it's objectively true? It can be true for us, if we want it to be.

Thanks Nye. Yes....its about 'what we are' and not about 'what we know'.  And 'what we are' depends a lot on the peace in our hearts.
