Personally I prefer the "lean and hungry with a penchant for gardening and poetry" look.

Do I detect in posts of yours that cause such angst to some on this site........ a poster interested in uncharted territory; the mysteries of the interior???????????????? Be it saintly or other........ you chamelon you
Well me lad, best leave you with a short poem of D H Lawrence for you to muse 'pon
The Heart of Man
There is the other universe, of the heart of man
that we know nothing of, that we dare not explore.
A strange grey distance separates
our pale mind still from the pulsating continent
of the heart of man.
Fore-runners have barely landed on the shore
and no man knows, no women knows
the mystery of the interior
when darker still than Congo or Amazon
flow the heart's rivers of fulness, desire and distress.

Polonius, and many on here, would have put the matter more artfully: "That he's mad, 'tis true, 'tis true 'tis pity, And pity 'tis 'tis true—a foolish figure, But farewell it, for I will use no art."

Re: Lenny has been immortalised in a museum, as he should be
poetry thread needed?
this defined me...mind you my road came back,
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Re: Lenny has been immortalised in a museum, as he should be
Whiskers darling,
You are a feisty and a worthy opponent and I urge you to amend your misdescription of yourself on the Ad Hominem thread at once. You are altogether too modest.
The "Bloomsbury Set" lads were mostly Cambridge men. This means they were necessarily depraved (as students from the other place will tell you).
Lean and hungry with a penchant for gardening and poetry I may be. But one thing I am not is a Cambridge man. Yuck! I shall have words with Loris later...

national Sports museum has the Saints in several backdrops in the game On area... particularly the hand ball section.SainterK wrote:....well sort of

(edit, I only just noticed Farren haha)
but I should have suggested they get an updated Saints jumper for our display- has Ball, hayes, Riewoldt and Lyon signatures so must have been 1997 version.
they manage to maintain Tony Locketts Brownlow there which is nice.

.ahhhhhhh , yes , 'thinking' too much
.... having asked many to 'think' me an original thought ,
has divined for me , the wellspring.

one 'thinks' he leads , One knows , Spirit leads.

You have set up a glass

No better am I than Mr Toad – indeed worse - you are right.

Re: Lenny has been immortalised in a museum, as he should be
.it's just a step to the left
Every man is given the opportunity .
.... accessing the 'original' is not hard ,
once we willingly give up what (in reality) we never owned.
.tis a game of 'allowance'.
.... allowing the Source , to channel It's Inspiration.
.... allowing Ourself , to get out of our own way.

I'm cheating alas my lord me thinks, nay mine knoweth, I humbly follow not lead:
............ "When to the sessions of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past, (1966 Premiership )
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, (especially seasons 1997, 2009 & 2010 )
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
.......................................................................
But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end".

Re: Lenny has been immortalised in a museum, as he should be
Oh esteemed Saintsational Poet Laureate "gazrat" as Crippa2Sipa hath so rightfully dubbed thee....................... was it not that lessor Poet Laureate, Sir John Betjeman, who penned lines something that goes thus: "Old men who never cheated, never doubted"? Or some such wordsgazrat wrote:
... we are all cheating ,
Ourselves.
Talking of Sir John, as is my wont.......................... oh I just love David Essex's rendition of Betjeman's poem Myfanwy.
Now why isn't there a ode or two about our Lenny and Farren that could be put to music.....then we can get SainterK's post back on track
