The thing that I like the most about this world is that everybody can always get what he wants in a way.

For who? For me? What last word? Adios ?
Why would that be good news for everybody?

Go to a poem.

My door is black and every time I open it I am totally uninspired by what I behold. Furthermore, I have every reason to think this also holds true for those on the other side of my door, when it is opened.

Would a mirror help?

Did you venture forth to thescottishpoetrylibrary to read The Door. No.
It takes a certain frame of mind. I'm not always in it. Here's a little bit...

Go and open the door...
...
even if
nothing
is there,
go and open the door.

At least
there'll be
a draught.

I've had enough of making do with "at least", if I want a draught I'll sit next to the window.

Yeah, well that was at the end of the poem, after a lot of imaginative bullshit...but at least no mention of AP45.

What's your answer to having had enough of making do ?
Let me guess...
- down't pub for a special brew ?

No, I just stay in't house and make do with an ordinary brew.

Harbal...you OK?

Yes, I'm OK, marjoram, although there are many round here who would despute that.
I'm at a loose end, that's all, it's nice of you to be concerned though.

OK - thought you sounded as pissed off as I am

Well I'm not overflowing with joy but I'm not suicidal either. Maybe I should be asking if you're OK, I hope your pissed offness is only temporary.

Thanks. I have several layers of pissed offness going on. It helps to be here for some crazy reason...
Maybe it's the effect.
Cheers.

Yes, I know what you mean. Keep your chin up, marjoram.

Thanks, harbal. Keep up the good work.
