Member's verse. Waxing poetic. Getting writing again.

Classic threads from Speaker's Corner that we just couldn't bear to let fade away.

You'll have to either print it, or memorise it, neebour; It's the last of it's kind.
My friend doesn't feel that she can continue to visit here, and my loyalties lie with her. I had hoped, although she perhaps wasn't as big a Pogues fan as I, that once she had been properly greeted and hospitably treated, I'd maybe 'convert' her.
Sadly, she feels she has not been made welcome.
My position here, therefore, can not be sustained and I must take my leave.

Goodnight, and joy be with you all.

Don't take my pedantic picking too seriously. More often than not I completely ignore such minor gaffs (and have been known to make more than a few of them myself).

In some situations they're just too entertaining to pass up, however. I'm sorry if that causes you to not come back.

Umm. Yeah, OK.

Ms. Viola, I'm sorry that my picking on your typo has made you feel personally put out. That was certainly not my intent. I wish you the best of luck with your future writings, and that you do not receive any harsher criticisms than you have received here.

I'm sorry that you feel that an evironment that may not always be entirely supportive of your friends is one that you yourself can not participate in.

Your time here has been a whirlwind romance. It's featured poetry, lyrics, misunderstood writings, nearly fifty posts, typos corrected in the forum categories, and a brief discussion of the evolution of languages. Not too poor for a tenure of less than ten days.

Likewise.

The mods enjoy writing fanfics. :) Which are collected here.

I write. Even published a story in a collection of modern horror stories printed in Italy ( and in Italian :roll: ).

Published some stuff on the net. Most of it in English. Still working on a couple of novels.

Pogues fanfiction!? :shock:

Whoaw. Never heard of that before.

Most of the fanfiction I've heard of was of rather "sexual" nature - Counsellor Troi meets Data and stuff like that... :roll:

Ours are absolutely innocent! One may use them as bed stories for kids... If one worries more about kids' morals than about kids' mind of coz
