Now I'm gonna kick back and listen to a bit of Robbie. Always been a catchy tune this one.

Very interesting. One of the most significant chapters in the history of western civilization that one could study. Good choice. Well all I can say to you Mike is enjoy what's left of your 20's, coz once they're gone that's it. Being young afford's one the privilege of being good looking and dumb...and no apologies are necessary. Once you're in your 30's the hair line gradually starts to recede and everyone expects you to act with maturity. It's a bit of a bummer tbh. On the upside however, a touch of grey in the beard can make one look quite distinguished. I think I look smarter than I actually am with a few flecks of grey in my hair. Well funnily enough the assignment brief was clear on the fact that it didn't have to be humanoid in shape. It said it can have multiple legs or none at all, and just hover through the use of some kind of anti gravity apparatus. But yes, I like the automated probe idea. I was initially going with something militaristic, but perhaps an exploratory droid would be better. Btw, have you been to Italy of Greece? I have never been to Greece, but I have been to several parts of Italy. Magnificent country. I have also been fortunate enough to visit Egypt. I too have a keen interest in the ancient world. That and architecture, not modern architecture. Most of it is pants. Except for MI6's headquarters in London, and of course "The Gherkin", nice buildings both. But I prefer classical architecture.

lol I AM old Mike. Or at least, getting there. I'll be 37 in a couple of months. Not far off the big 4-0 lol Yes, I'm still watching "STD" (sniggers). Burnham is a bit of a Mary Sue, but the actress who plays CAN at least act. I'll giver her that much. Walking Dead and Game Of Thrones...of course. I should have gotten that. How are your studies proceeding? What is it you are studying again? Ancient Greek? Mine are going well, I have to design an android this week. Not as simple as it sounds though. I have to come up with a background story and context for it. If you have any ideas I'd be more than happy to hear them.

Aw Mike, I'm sorry you feel that way. I shall endeavor to swing by your page more often, but don't always wait for me. You too are always welcome to swing by mine. I hear ya, she did the exact same thing to me. I was in and out of her featured channels box more times than a duck puts it's head under water. What is TWD and GOT? I don't get you kids and all your hip new lingo.

Ya know, its ironic that your Queen Elizabeth is such a wonderful, beautiful, and amazingly diplomatically neutral soul. No matter what anyone may say about that Royal Family squandering money, and by definition they are not supposed to be political, the queen is loved everywhere in the world. To bad someone like her could NOT be a real ruler with power. She certainly sets quite an example for everyone with her lifestyle and attitudes, which are reflected by her long life. Whenever she passes on it will be a heartbreaker ! XOXOXO

Hello hun, thanks for your visit ! What is that cool pic you posted in ur comments of the blue eagle? When you say you are "knee deep", you don't mean with snow, do you? I didn't think that England gets snow. Well, yeah, i enjoyed the President's SOTU address immensely. CNN and NBC reported their surveys that *76%* of Americans liked the speech a lot. I've not seen that high of a percentage agree on anything here, ever. But of course the leftist libertards who control our news media (the NY Times yankee crap and the Washington Post pissheads) are fruitlessly trying to degrade the whole thing with trivial stuff like "Nancy Pelosi was clapping sarcastically." Grappling for straws man, who gives a FK? Did you see any of it ? It was very positive and encouraging. Funny, i thought i was a democrat liberal for a few years until Obummer came in and ruined our health care system and our world relations with other countries ! They have gone way over the top and have become the dividing negative force in ruining my country. So now oddly, i am quite comfy to join the right side. Actually Michael, believe it or not, i never really was political and to this day still i have never voted. I always said, "all politics suck and whoever is in power has never mattered to me, my life stays the same." But all that changed now. Things the left-wing loonies have done and want to do HAVE affected my life, and it needs to stop. They would have white people (and men) be ashamed of who we are; NOT me!

And I don't? lol, well Melissa was always an odd one. She'd be quite friendly with me one minute, then just switch off completely, then switch on again, then switch off....you get the idea. I never could figure her out.

How's Mike these days?

good question, sir meek-eynotso! thug me flippahlifah on the next one...

Hi Michael, had a very good visit with my dad. A bunch of us friends hang out all the time. Our young friend in our circle passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack. She just turned 39 on Halloween. We are all heart broken. We must never know.

Freezing there ? Good gawd, keep warm my dear ! Its back in the 70sF here this week (that's about 24C) after running my heater last week, now i have the a/c on. Its just great here - sunny with not much humidity for a change. Perfect beach weather ! Oh jeez, that JK Rowling sounds like a real winner, haha. And i thought we were the only country who has major problems with clown-asses like that. Funny you mentioned Obummer. He ruined our health system and wanted our boarder strengthened to keep riff raff out from Central America. But his followers are now denouncing Pres Trump each day for doing the same thing. Who knows what it all will come to ? The dividions here get deeper each day, hatred on both sides escalating. // Well, i am trying to get back to as many ppl as possible before the Super Bore (Bowl) game starts here. Amer 'football' is so boring - they play for 20 seconds then stop the clock to talk about it and show commercials for 4 minutes. It takes over three hours to play just 60 mins on the game clock ! What sports do you like ? I like individual competition rather than team sports, such as tennis, gymnastics, ice skating, and even golf lately. For team games i have started watching a little ice hockey and soccer (your football). Even baseball is better than Amer football - anything is! lmao. xoxoxo
