<HTML>Nextian Rhapsody
Am I in Swindon?
Or is this just Battersea?
Caught in a time-slip,
I’ve escaped from reality.
Time is recast, Look into the past and see,
I’m caught in Upstream, I need futurity,
Because it’s tick-tick, to and fro, entropy’s a little low,
Any way the time flows, only Landen matters to me, to me.
Goliath, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled the trigger, now he's dead.
Goliath, patched it all on me,
So now I think I’d better run away.
Goliath, ooh, really mean to make me fry,
If I'm not back again this time last Monday,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing ever happened.
Too late, my time has come,
Sending agents down the stream, looping memories and dreams,
Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave today behind and find last week.
Goliath, ooh, they’re still after me,
They’ll make sure I've never been born at all.
I see an agent trapped in a poem,
Jack Schitt, Jack Schitt, are you still in The Raven?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightened he.
(Cardenio.) Cardenio. (Cardenio.) Cardenio, Cardenio Romeo
Othello –oh.
I'm just a LiteraTec, nobody loves me.
They’ve just eradicated all of my family,
Spare me my life from this monstrosity.
If I tell you what I know, will you let me go?
Goliath! No, we will not let you go.
(Let her go!) Goliath! We will not let you go.
(Let her go!) Goliath! We will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go.
(Let me go.) Will not let you go. (Let me go.) Ah.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
(Oh JurisFiction, JurisFiction.) JurisFiction, let me go.
Acheron is a devil put aside for me, for me, for me.
So you think you can loop me and spit in my eye.
So you think you can boojum and leave me to die.
Oh, Thursday, you’ll get out of this, Thursday,
Just gotta get back, just gotta get right back to now.
Only Landen matters, Anyone can see,
Only Landen matters,
Only Landen matters to me.
Any way the time flows.</HTML>

<HTML>Well, if it's any reassurance, I've managed to be vastly amused by your posts without the occurance of any embarassing incidents. Which is just as well, since I often read them at work.

<HTML>Depends what they're laughing at and when. I'd suggest that when you first remove your underwear is a bad time...</HTML>

<HTML>No woman has ever laughed at me removing my underwear since I was six- and that relates to the whole "Torloisk Incident" forever buriied in my traumatised subconcious.</HTML>

<HTML>Top five things not to say to blokes at delicate moments:
5: I'll finish myself off, shall I?
4: *hysterical laughter*
3: Oh. Is that it?
2: Haven't you finished yet?
1: Aaah. Isn't it sweet!</HTML>

<HTML>H'mm. Reminds me of my good friend Alan Stevens of www.kaldorcity.com, who is reported to have had the following conversation with a lady of negotiable virtue:
LNV: I'm a hundred-dollar whore.
Alan: I'm a two-hundred-dollar stud. You owe me.</HTML>

<HTML>Hmm. Like another conversation:
"I'll sleep with you if you can give me 12 inches."
"Mind if i pay in instalments?"</HTML>
