Commonly refered to as "Developmental Research" more accurately described as, "drinking coffee with feet up and not having a care in the world." Loved teh 'Tales of the City" and how it reignited memories of my own, rekindling the knowledge of why I chose to live in the country now and visit cities for work. It is almost a case of 'I have my cake and can eat it when i want' for me.geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01157896595475933726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516373623794860572.post-22184967482082951192008-06-18T17:03:00.000+10:002008-06-18T17:03:00.000+10:00Probably just being in the right place at the wron...Probably just being in the right place at the wrong time.

I worry sometimes that this blog is just a vehicle for the telling of tall tales without any topicality or clear angle.<BR/><BR/>I feel safer now but there are two reasons: I wasn't mindful of all the potential dangers when younger; I rejoice in the anonymity of the nondescript middle-aged bloke.Lad Litterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17888240712204499841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516373623794860572.post-43098213669731706052008-06-10T20:26:00.000+10:002008-06-10T20:26:00.000+10:00A few close shaves there Ladlitter.

Sounds like a silly question, but I'm wondering about this happening with most people at certain ages. <BR/><BR/>Well written, highly readable string of stories too. I meant to comment earlier but have not had enough time of late. If you could forge some of this into a longer narrative there could be a book somewhere in there.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>EdEdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04066002056854677382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516373623794860572.post-89370198641195385642008-06-09T11:16:00.000+10:002008-06-09T11:16:00.000+10:00Thanks for the self-defence tips, AOD!
