Sometimes, your faith is restored, your nihilism abandoned and the rush to oblivion like an over-ambitious lemming abated I revisited the song that was my orignal cause for concern, and sure enough, our late man from Crossgates says "Fire" with emphasis that could be heard as 'Fyer' or 'Fire', but not 'Ffiah'. Lemmings are creatures of great ambition and interepidation. When times are hard, and overcrowding a challenge, they find the highest vantage point to leap to the sea as far as they can, and swim on through to the other side. East is East, and West is West, but lemmings carry on, and they never rest.

That’s the whole bloody point! Fire is only one syllable.

There’s been a bit of digression.

That's a lot of figments to ignore. I hope that you are less reckless when you are driving.

Pronouncing "fire" with one sylable may not be enough when others drag us closer to the Final Battle.

Annihilation is for the secularists amongst us. When I say "us", I mean 'you'. God may bring Armageddon down on to us for the mispronunciation of 'fire', and we will all be guilty for not having prevented it. Were I a younger man, I might feel the burden of my personal guilt.

We all need something to look forward to.

I sometimes listen to songs, and it drives me mad when "fire" is pronounced "Ffiah" as in Martin O. Since it seems it is me against the world, Armageddon can't come soon enough. Who else is rushing towards Armageddon?

In the post-truth world, leap years will be scheduled retrospectively. Remember, you heard it here first.

I don’t know why anyone would stand by a blatantly false statement, unless they were The Emperor of MisTruth.

If you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, that’s just misfortune, but if you are in the wrong place at the right time you’ve really missed out.

We're getting to the pointy end of the season, and it looks like Warrington will be sitting in the Stands. I'm pleased to see Leigh doing well.

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing yourself. Sadly, closed in 2010 or shortly thereafter.

Good on you for bringing this thread back from the dead, you could be the next Dr Frankenstein. Do you want to go and see if you can resuscitate the "Taking my ferret for a run" thread?
