Vent of the year (at least for me)

No, not Spurs losing at Burnley, more a general vent. Better to let it out than to hold it in (as the actress said to the Bishop)

I'll have a rage than retire (un)gracefully to continue reading the wonderful book "Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics". "East is East and West is West, never the twain shall meet"? - Kipling never knew what he was talking about!

Anyway, where was I? I'm almost forgetting my vent. Almost.

What is it with some people? On another Forum I came in for the usual stick of "you are always quoting others"....can't you speak for yourself? Ad nauseum. Well I did try quoting A. A. Milne:-

[i]A quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business. [/i]

....but that didn't cut the mustard, no idea why not. But then I tried a thread of my own, made up totally of my own poetry with autobiographical details. Quite long. Not a quote in sight.

And where were my accusers? Nowhere to be seen or heard. Somehow they missed it!

And today, here on SW (or is it Unsimilar Worlds?) Catching a thread on the orange haired genius "our Donald", I made a couple of posts. Quickly I was told/accused/judged:-

Apparently I was...... [i]Obsessed 24/7 by a man I have never met, blighting my twilight years.[/i]

WTF was that all about?

No matter, [i]BUT REALLY[/i] !!

Anyway, now back to R. H. Blyth's classic book, once again in the Oxfam Book and Record shop, Bowie again on the player.

My 24/7 obsession with The Donald in remission.
