See you about 10.
Now where are my car keys ?
Positively Arsenal

Well that was tricky, Mills, but after a lot of cogitation I realised the answer to all your questions was/is ‘YES’. So that’s that – where’s me money?
Incidentally, if anicoll, that sage of the Sword of Truth collegiate tries to convince you that the answers to your probing – and let’s be honest ….. rather intimate questions ….. is; all in the eye of any individual human being or animal, and their personal experiences and is simply the extension of a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will who knows how to answer tricky quiz questions — then he is showing off, and should be banned …. or maybe I should be banned instead.
Mmmmm …. now that is the real quiz question! (lol)

it seems this international break has confirmed what we all knew anyway, spurs players are diving cheating cunts, we seen rose and co dive all over the wembley pitch last night, sadly they got away with it, but thankfully another spurs player paid the price tonight, in the Austria v Republic of Ireland game, Wimmer, he of the own goal fame, took a dive and the ref played on, which led to Ireland scoring the winner, james mcclean, as austria were caught light at the back due to wimmers theatrics

GP-In my own personal experience with Goths (about 17people-Ive been counting them up- people some to whom I was very close, some not so close but friendly enough during the period 84 into 1993),were two types those who were just into the fashion/music(my bro and his mates) and the ones I knew best (including two ex -girlfriends) were into Gothic Literature,moorlands ( I was later living in W.Yorkshire at that time) and Gothic architecture and graveyards and many other things as much as music and fashion. Lord Byron is definitely part of the Gothic Literature,even if under the sub-genre of Romantic and perhaps half of the people, I knew liked were reading that sort of material.
On some articles and websites(the last time I looked,which was in fairness sometime ago) Lord Byron is acknowledged,others not and one (even though I personal cant stand the source) has him as the King of Goths.
Goth as a subculture seems to be quite varied (as to what is and what isn’t,perhaps its down to individuals as to their taste though with different sub genres and types?),just like Mod. Perhaps like Mod and other subcultures, everyone thinks their idea of what it is the real thing or what constitutes the culture such as it is for all subcultures that last over a period of time and are in constant flux?
What might have seemed ignorant,was in fact in out of affection and my own personal experiences,one of the main Goth blokes I knew was a good friend and is now dead, but I had great times with him,and he put me onto Byron, Keats, and the Shelleys and people like Bram Stoker and while the atmosphere of that time still prevailed it was a good laugh to hang around with them even if I wasn’t one of them.For a while they seemed pretty exciting blokes.Time screwed them over though as things changed.
But its odd, as some people consider the Who are Mods and the real thing and others plastic.Perhaps all life is a matter of perspective and personal experience? In my experience Gothic literature was part of the Goth subculture and Lord Bryon was part of both.
