Have some children of your own. That'll do it every time

 Re:New member? - 2004/12/31 11:18 Getting older? To be recommended (after all what else is there?) The trick is to Grow Old Disgracefully, like quite a few of us here............

Getting drunk? No comment, officer, it wasn't me, I wasn't there, I don't know anything about it...............

Keiwit, if your dad is here you've only said what he'd expect you to say, and if he's not - then get him here, he belongs!

There are lots of Jake events happening in 2005 - (could someone list them here, as I've forgotten some of them........?) - hope to see you at some of them.

 Re:New member? - 2004/12/31 11:29 Since my last post I have called my dad just to check he's not here. Luckily at present he can't get to his computer because I have too many sisters.

I do have a sneaking suspicion he's going to have a look at some point though, so if you do see him please make him welcome. Just don't give him any money. It only encourages them.

 Re:New member? - 2005/01/19 02:21 Keiwit you are already fitting in as if you'd been here all the time. I love your posts.

I'm Lynda, a crabby old bat face in New Zealand who briefly met Jake in the 70's and saw him many more times on TV. I was hooked from the first and have been ever since.

Of the 3.8 million people in New Zealand, seven and a half have heard of Jake Thackray - but I'm working on it!!

My favourite song is 'Lah-de-dah' for very personal reasons but I could really say that there isn't a JT song I don't like. He was a wordsmith par excellence and because I'm a writer too I deeply appreciate the fine crafting of his work.

I live in the country, have two sons (grown and flown) and the only imperfect thing in my life is that I can't get to any of the Jake orientated events.


My fault for living at the end of the world

Your Dad sounds an ideal subject for a bit of Jakery - inspirational, drunk and at least seven kids....

 Re:New member? - 2005/01/19 08:03 You've worried me a bit now, I always believed my dad had only 4 kids. Maybe I do have a brother somewhere... I always felt like I should have one. Maybe in New Zealand. Come to think of it, my dad did live in New York for a while so maybe I have some rather obese siblings who can't pronounce simple words correctly.

You see, I have 3 sisters. Not in a "My landlady had 3 lovely daughters" sort of way you understand. This, coupled with the fact that we all had to go to church on Sunday morning, meant that all my friends became better at football than I did.

You always hear about the child prodigies who've had their talents nurtured since they were 8 years old. Whether it’s golf, guitar, fishing or juggling. Anything. When I was 8 years old my parents noticed my prodigious talent for eating crisps.

Anyway, enough of my woes. I can't really complain, I work in local government so to be mediocre is something of a blessing. To be borderline insane means you are promotion material.
