A nice exchange sarahbilly and stellamaris...the wee small hours are a lonely place I am there too often.  I shall create a topic forthwith for the night hawks. ;D

that may be a good idea for the night owls firenze, when i have been out late,  i must have my cup of tea, and relax for an hour or so before i go to bed, it was nice that stella was around last night, i enjoyed our brief chat.

Whilst I don't doubt his sincerity, he was a shining example of how easy it is for a wealthy, priviledged man to be an extreme left-wing socialist.

sarahbilly, hope you enjoyed your get-together. I'm with you, even if I'm out late and tired, I have to have my 'wind-down', can't just jump into bed!


I'm also often looking on the forum in the early hours, but am usually alone!!

 :( :( :( :(


Although I didn't always agree with his politics - he was a man of principles & convictions. RIP Tony.  :( :( :( :(
