Is that somewhere near Morecambe?

 

An Aussie mate pronounced that as mo-ree-cam-bee, confused the flip out of me.

 

He was discussing the recent (at the time) death of 23 Chinese immigrants cockle-picking on Morecambe Sands when they got caught out by the tide.

I came from a dark moist and wet place where I stayed for months, then I was pulled into this world against my will screaming and kicking like hell.  Spent my entire life since trying to get back inside that moist and wet environment....

Second post of yours seeking information from us on the same day on here what is your obsession on personal profiling us ? and why would i give it you ?

Nope, only this thread is mine ...  not seeing where I asked about anyone, in any replies to thread either, at about same time.

 

Think you got me confused with someone else.

As I have worked there. Have you tried thetruesize.com and dropped Texas onto say Ontario?

Just did, though already knew Canada is huge, #2, USA/China #3 or 4 area wise.  

 

USA being a bit more user friendly, if not minding a southern heat wave, tornado, earthquake or hurricane now & then ... vs ... damn tundra ... Brr

We used the ferry as a romantic date... from Greenwich Village... [west] 

 

Sure, we went RT and never got off... 

I applaud your wisdom on staying on the ferry, the area around the terminal is pretty nothing.

 

But your story dates you; post 9/11, you have to exit the ferry and wait a half hour for the next one. On the other hand, they have a nice, big fish tank to entertain you for 2.5 of those minutes. 

 

I thought people would be asking me about P4P in Haiti.

 

It costs a dollar, don't wear a condom, wear a space suit.

Libya was peaceful until 2007 then all foreigners left and oil production went down was run locals mainly.

My wife refused to accept  I was from  Knotty Ash or that it even existed except in the mind of Ken Dodd

Just have to throw you a like for the Ken Dood reference.

 

Saw him at a pier show. He claimed to be older than most of the pebbles on the beach.

 

Of course it was a pebble beach. That's why people go to Benidorm -even without the Ken Dodd draw.

I saw him once in Stockport but he wasn't funny that  night-Still he put Knotty Ash on the map

Hey, I used to do that too! 

They don't call it Richmond anymore, do they?  I remember when they named it that, but I can't recall hearing anybody saying it.  Somewhere in the middle of it is this Buddhist museum, I think it was private.  Made for a interesting day-trip date.

Also the Statue of Liberty island.  I realized everyone gets off the ferry, goes directly to the statue, then comes out and gets back on a ferry.  NO ONE (in 1970s) walked around the island, not even the park police.  So I'd find a peaceful spot on the edge of the water, smoke a joint and take in the view.  I did that a number of times.

The Narrows bridge took forever to build.  In the distant future, when all we have has turned to dust and a new civilization emerges, archeologists are going to find what's left of that bridge's foundation and find all those human remains the mobs threw into the cement, and they are going to puzzle over the strange funeral practices of the ancient peoples.
