Reminded me of Kate Bush's Snowed In At Wheeler Street with Elton John http://vimeo.com/32776587 - time-crossed lovers - but video is a bit schmaltzy.

Thank you bus2bondi. It is nice to see heavy metal's humanity. Rather than add more on the same theme, I have added an interactive music video from Arcade Fire, http://thewildernessdowntown.com/ . Be aware that it is a bit beefy when it is running so could slow any other PC applications you are usin...

The joys of education in its many forms :roll: . I recall my nephew coming home in tears one day because he had been taught at school that cigarette smoking kills. Both his parents smoked and he pleaded with them to stop so that they wouldn't die. Thankfully the message stayed with him and he has ne...

There really is only one way to 'see' The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy , and that is by listening to the original version - the Radio Serial. It is available on audiobook. Its great for long car journeys or in a context where you are using your eyes for something else but are able to listen, suc...

Marriage and a woman's decision to change her name. Something I never thought of as I exchanged vows. I was now married to the man of my choice and taking his name had nothing to do with being "oppressed" and it never felt like it was archaic. I never had strong feelings about keeping my ...

will be looking out for them ;) But still some time before Christmas! I have many dream-jobs. All of them as free positions being kind-of my own boss, although with a few responsibilities which I'd like to have. Game Director is first one, but where I make the rules and I am the resource and not so...

If I understand your question correctly, I asked this of John, a single man, because this is the subject of this thread. I would also address these questions and comments to any single person co...
