Hope

[allenlondon]

This clip, now a bit fuzzy with age, might give you hope. And it will (unless you are an awful cynic) make you cry.

Love might not conquer all, but I want love to be in my heart as I leave this world.

[ummmm]

Brave men to buy a lion cub. If you'd seen the fuss in this house yesterday because there was a bumble bee in the kitchen.

[Mamyalynne]

Did you rush to the rescue Ummmm?

Bless em.

[ummmm]

No...I'm allergic to bees. I would have just opened the windows and let it find it's own way out. Bees won't sting unless they have to.

[Mamyalynne]

True.

Sorry Mozz. Yes, it was intended to lighten the mood, to brighten up people's day (gordon bennett, don't we need it!)

And no, you're right, I shouldn't react to the gain-sayers, the ones who would pick an argument over anything (absolutely anything!), but as I said, I ain't no Christian, and turning the other cheek always struck me as not the best policy.

But to say it again, you're right, and I should just breathe deeply and think of the love...


Allen.

Allen, I genuinely enjoyed it, and have shared it to other people that do. Thank you x

Having read this thread through I realise all over again why I rarely post on AB!

[Mozz71]

Easier said than done Allen. I hardly practice what I preach I'm sad to say. Never mind mate, onwards and upwards.

Perhaps we should have a special flag on certain threads to say that claims shouldn’t be questioned. I still don’t know what Allen hopes for - or why he thinks there’s a special bond that binds all living things together - but hey ho! This is the home of natter .... and nonsense.

Answer a question with a question is the way out for most who don't have an answer, and can never admit their wrong. Of course they never the less always have to have the last say, or they would never sleep. And of course again will attack any post, and stick with it like a leach.

[Spicerack]

leech.

[royfromaus]

What about 'they're and nevertheless?

[Spicerack]

I'm not a *** pedant.

[Gill1941]

Thanks for BA, allen. I'm amazed - expected a lot of flack.

[allenlondon]

Gill. Your post echoed my thoughts! Years ago I suggested (tongue-in-cheek) having a category for Those Who Want A Fight, so that all the would-be cage fighters could congregate there.

Deep breaths, carry on.

Best wishes,

Allen

Allen, your profile says you've only been here about 6 months. Who were you years ago?

You've made him do a semi-flounce now. So sad. Why can't everyone agree with everybody about everything.

Ive said this before on here: I'm not an animal lover and I am not afraid to say so. However, I watch lots of wildlife documentaries, not out of fondness or emotional gubbins, but to try and get some idea of how they live- and die. The programmes can be very interesting at times. So, does that clarify things for you?
