SPEAKERS ON LOUD

THIS IS TERRIFIC!!!

Whether you are a Billy Joel fan or not, you probably remember his great song, 'We Didn't Start the Fire.'

Here it is, set to pictures... Very, very cool! Had to share this one. It's a cooool flashback through the past half century.

Turn up volume, sit back and enjoy a review of 50 years of history in less than 3 minutes! Thanks to Billy Joel and some guy from the University of Chicago with too much time and Google!

The question was, "Is there anything after the grave?" on the group blog http://www.blog.co.uk/group/askoranswer .

Several comments were received, some yes and some no, but my favourite was this one from, grumpus, http://www.blog.co.uk/user/grumpus/

""Life after Death" is a metaphor for how one is remembered by those who are left behind.
If you live on in the memories of others because you were a decent, kind human being who spread a good deal of happiness; that is "Heaven".
If you were despised for being selfish and disruptive, or downright criminal, and are soon forgotten; that is "Hell".
Heaven and Hell are not part of some after life, they are Here and Now!
Live your life accordingly. When you are gone, you are gone."

That, to me, hits the nail on the head.

Of course, if you want your say, visit the group blog and have it.

Pretty proud of that. It's in Scotland, I know, I'm English but I have lived in Scotland for quite a wee while now.

The weather was great again yesterday so Hazel and I had a picnic along side part of the Forth and Clyde canal. 35 miles long that joins The Irish sea with The North sea. Eleven locks with a difference of 79 foot in elevation, so they had to invent the thing in the picture.

The Falkirk Wheel, the only "Rotational Boat Transporter" in the world, 115 foot high to transport boats, up to 78 foot long, between the differing height levels.

Frankie Laine? ah, that was breakfast time today, the DVD that I had ordered was put through the letterbox by the postman, In Concert at Sheffield in 1976, O K, not quite the same as the Frankie that topped the hit parade in the 50s but watching was able to take me back. Oh, such memories.
