yay, finally a winner

Willem I hope you don't mind me asking personal questions and you don't have to answer but from your personal page I note that you were taking medication and at the time of writing were doing some psychotherapy.

Are you still doing that?

Hi Dmitri and Peanut! I don't mind not being human but I so would love that some of my work is actually useful to somebody. And I would love being able to actually talk with people. Peanut, I'm using the medication, but haven't gone for psychotherapy in a long time; it ended up frustrating me immensely.

Thanks for answering my questions Willem I hope they weren't too intrusive.

I think your work is useful, in that it is educational and your passion is inspiring
also I enjoy to read your articles and to see your art.

I look forward to on Mondays

it gives me comfort to know that there are like mindedpeople who care about the environment in the world

Talking about like-minded people: if you folks get a minute, would you look at my guide entry, please? A87779443

It's, er, a bit off. Rather like me.

Well I have read it through and don't feel that I would be able to give it a review as in a peer review type thing

I liked this particulary, although I had to look up liminal

Male ballet dancers are not all gay5. They certainly are not all schizophrenic. And not all ballets involve animated roses, nutcrackers, or sugar plum fairies. Ballet, however, is an art form involving strenuous activity, set to music, that often explores liminal experience and speculation on the boundaries of human understanding. After all, if what the artist is saying could better be said in a comic book, why not draw a comic book?

Thing is Dmitri, you are amazingly skillful at making anything interesting, would I watch ballet, no, can you sell it to me, yes

also, like minded, you saying I am bit off, are you, I have you know I am well in date like me drivers licence

Okay, Peanut, we'll believe you, won't we, Willem?

But I'll admit to being more than a bit off - and to liking to watch ballet and listen to some kinds of opera, and growing up with classical music, that sort of thing.

And thanks - I'm glad you liked the entry. That's sort of what I was after. I've noticed we don't have much in the Guide on ballet, and I wish we had an expert around.

well I am trusting you two be gentlemanly on this, even if I do dress you up in inappropiate outfits on the daydream thread

I don't know that is off though what you grew up with Dmitri, I grew up on classical musuc and er Abba

also a formative influence on my life was a smuggled 'old wireless' that I had found a back of a cupboard in my room, on which I listened to radio 4 and world service, not that I am sure my parents would have particualary disapproved of those things except after bedtime. I loved that wireless but not very cool was it?

the cupboard that I found the wireless in was not in my room,I kept the wireless hidden in my room, which was very naughty

but R4, what a rebel

Is that where they allowed shudder,shudder rock n roll music, Peanut? A little? Did you listen to pirate radio---that was really rebelious.

can't even claim that Electra, that was more my parents generation

My face when me Mum showed me pictures of her in a mini skirt, and she visited my Grandparents in a skirt that was way too short... And there were some where they are quite 'formally' family posed with me in their arms, Mum made sure that her stocking tops were't showing

what she got up to before she met my Dad on a weekend away with a boyfriend on the back of a scooter I do not want to know

still all this came out after I got through my dressing like Madonna phase

You HAVE to tell Cactuscafe about that.

Hi Willem
I had trouble posting earlier, so this is short.
I am thinking of you
