Lots of books at bargain prices as I don't want them cluttering up my room anymore! Most of them have only been read once, so only have a tiny bit of spine creasing. They are all and every genre, quite a few classics :) A couple of great ones for Christmas presents, including new and unread books on Johnny Depp and Donny Osmond :)

Also a couple of cds, dvs, vinyl, toiletries and some shoe laces :)

I accept paypal or if you know me you can give me the money in person! I can only post on Saturdays. All paperbacks are only £2 (or less!), and hardbacks are £3, which includes postage :) If you buy a few I will probably be able to adjust the price downwards! I'd rather not trade at the moment, unless you have some fantastic goth / industrial cds, vinyl, merch or tshirts, or a plain black pull-over-the-head hoodie in size large :)

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.

Gas! Gas! Quick, boys!–An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime...
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,–
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.


- Dulce Et Decorum Est, Wilfred Owen. (1893 - 1918)

In the following pictures, Fred Kottman is the one with the cross near to him.

They are young, younger than most of us who read this. Yet they are now gone. Killed too young, needlessly. And yet it STILL continues.

Also in memory of Harry Patch and Henry Allingham - their great ages shows how much potential had been lost.

Lest We Forget. RIP.

Don't Forget To Vote Tomorrow!

People died for us to have the vote, so we must do it

A protest vote is NOT a wasted vote!

Vote, otherwise nothing will change.

Vote, so you have the right to complain about the way this country is.

Vote, so you can make your mark on the world!!

Vote, so you can stop the racist (BNP), lying (all the main parties), useless (Labour) politicians believing that they are the only ones who can get anywhere.

I am selling books, cds, dvds and some clothes on ebay, please buy them! :)

I really can't decide whether this is great or blasphemy!

I'm not 100% keen on the style of Trent's singing here, as the song is really made by Peter Murphy's amazing voice, but it is still good :)

But if you look at the crowd, its like they hardly know whats going on! I would be *so* excited to see those two on stage together!!

And I love how in the middle Peter Murphy takes the mic like "let me show you how its done properly" , haha!

This is how children's animation should be:

I Want These!



Does anyone know where I can get them? :)

:D Best.Video.Ever.

I love it!

And Them!

And I'm seeing them (well, him anyway!) again in April! Woo! :D

I need some money...so would you like any of these things, O few people who read my journal :)

Mainly books and tshirts :) I accept paypal, and may trade...but would prefer money! Please make offers on whatever you want, I'm not very good at deciding prices!

I can only post on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

I also have a few wants at the bottom of this post, would prefer to trade for them, apart from an overnight bag, if you have one I'll pay for it!

( Disney DVDS, Metal cds )

Includes books, cds, dvds, and band tshirts

( Books, Cds and DVDs )

( Tshirts – including Blythe and Deep Purple tshirtd )

( Repost of my sisters things – Hello Kitty, Goth clothes, tutu, fancy dress, studded bracelets, cloak, leg warmers, chainmail bracelets and platform boots and clothes made to measure :) )

Wants:

I would prefer to trade for these, but what I will pay for is an overnight/weekend bag, Primark did some tartan bags which are similar in size / shape to what I want, but am possibly looking for one which is more likely to last longer. Paperchase at the moment have a lovely one with hexagons on it, but would prefer to buy one a little cheaper than that, maybe £10 - £15. Dark colours preferred, but will look at anything. I need one desparately for going away on 6th February!

...I Wish You A Brave New Year..."



They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin's birth

I remember one Christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
And they told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite

And I believed in Father Christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
'Till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas you get you deserve...

Merry Christmas Everyone, I hope you have a lovely day, and a very Happy New Year :)

...can be summed up by this one picture, I feel.



:) :) :)

I also went to Inferno (rubbish!) and saw the ballet of Edward Scissorhands (excellent!) but I think the above picture sums up the best moment :)

A Mixture of one of the best British films, and one of the best British cartoons around at the moment...all i can say is :D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D



hehehehe :D

..Just Watch This :D



:D :D

Just Brilliant! :D You can probably look up the lyrics somewhere...but just watch it all the way through, its great :D



and this picture too:



:D :D :D

In Memory of Fred Kottman, 1899 - 1918, Killed on the Somme, 1st September 1918

Fred was my great-great-uncle, my great grandmother's brother. He was a rifleman of the London Regiment, in the 21st Surrey Rifles, and was killed in the First World War in France. His grave is now in Sailly Saillisell British Cemetary in France.

For the 1st September 1918, his batallion's war diary reads:

5.30am - The batallion was in position on the right of the Brigade sector with the 15th Batallion on the left and the 17th Batallion on the right to mop up Rancourt. The attack began at this hour and reached the enemy system west of St Pierre Yasst Wood. Casualties were fairly heavy, and the line was only weakly held"

In the picture below Fred Kottman is the one on the left.



The picture below is of Fred (he is the one with the cross drawn above him) and his fellow soldiers. They all look so young, and so happy. It is horrible to think of the likely fate of most of these boys. They look younger than most of you who will read this.



They Will Not Grow Old, As We That Are Left Shall Grow Old,
Age Shall Not Weary Them, Nor The Years Condemn,
At The Going Down Of The Sun And In The Morning,
We Shall Remember Them

- from "For The Fallen", Lawrence Binyon

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.

But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped5 Five-Nines that dropped behind.

Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime9 . . .
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,

About the American Election!!!!

I am fed up of hearing about it!!

Do they really have this much coverage over there when *we* elect a prime minister?

Gah!

Things / people are just really irritating to me at the moment.

I've successfully spent a good amount of time avoiding people I don't want to be with, and situations I dont want to be in, but now they all seem to be rushing back. *So* annoying. As I don't want to end up without my good friends, but some situations I just don't want to be in.

There does seem to be a common theme running through most of the irritating people I meet - but I'm sure its not their fault. They don't do it on purpose.

Do they?

...the new Guns N Roses song ....

(ah think of all the people who have waited so long to say that!)

...and it was RUBBISH!

But wait - before you say "but you don't even like GnR" - it didn't even sound like them!

Sounded like a Nu-Metal-y version of what I think MachineHead sound like...

(although I'm not sure *exactly* what MachineHead sound like...I have an idea...)

So yeah. Compared to the new AC/DC song I heard the other day - one was Brilliant, one was Terrible.

And they were both on Radio 2!

Rock! \m/ :D
