Perhaps you need to post a sign reading "By invitation only."

Reminds me of the scene at Heathrow airport at the end of Love Actually where the arrivals are greeted to the tune "God Only Knows".
A brilliant song ... and a brilliant use of it.

Life is a series of arrivals and departures and there are always the questions ...

Can I? Should I? Will she? ... how's it going? Feeling better?

Are we there yet?

You've got me thinking now j.

You are welcome Jacob.
This is a real puzzle to me in a way J. Life is a whole lot of arrivals and departures as we travel through. We love and love is grand, but hate is a strong word. I don't tend to use it. I prefer the word dislike. Hate has its place though when it comes to invaders in certain parts of the world.

Nothing you ever write is a dud. There is always something to say about your lines.
