the early bird only really started on the 64 Bn, you came into the canner that night and early birded it up next morning
Talk about suffering every step up that poxy hill
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
The one in the back with the Valon is none other than yours truely
