The Silent Enemy

[Bill Walker]

No, not the name of a John Le Carre novel (although it sounds like it).
Time is the silent enemy.

I read that from 1970 till now is the same as 1918 to 1970, that shocked me for a moment, hang on 1918 was the fucking dark ages surely, the end of WW1. But its true.

Time is marching on, did you know that Graham Nash (of The Hollies & Crosby Stills and Nash) is 80 !! John Lennon wouldve been 82 this year.
I keep hearing about people I know dying, as well as family members. Similar vintage to me (late 60s)

Enjoy your life, every second you have.

Funny you say this BW I can’t believe Clint is 91 Gene Hackman 92 and even Patrick wayne sinbad and the eye of the tiger(johns Son) is 82 really scary the way time creeps up on you.

My wife literally has no sense of smell so I go out of my way to put a lot of emphasis when playing the bum trumpet so that she can participate. Because? I'm a giver.
Otherwise, what's the point?

Bill......... Bill, Billy, May I call you Billy ?
Bearing in mind one of your other threads was about death I think it is time you upped your meds, I'd double up on the Prozac if nothing else.

I know the nights on here can be lonely, all the brits have gone to bed (apart from Drone) and the only other ones to talk to are pretend yanks but come on. There's another 5, maybe even 6 years left for you.

The 80 year human cycle.

History does repeat itself.

It's a great theory to look into.

I was thinking of calling the thread "how long is a piece of string"... Look, you and Worsley have abandoned ship where new freds are concerned, I'm trying to help the void not be so empty.
And I'm sick of the Neil Young thread.
Now get yer togs and thongs on and bugger off down to Bondi and perv at some semi naked Sheila's you whinging Pom...

Young Guns was on last week. Always see that as a ‘modern Western’ then realised the gap between then and now is greater than the gap between then and Rio Bravo from 1959

 

[Kiss this guy]

I have more years behind me than ahead of me.

Have you not sent the old bugger back yet? Deary me.
I pity the bloke sitting next to him at the bar. You know, the one that's picking up the tab.
