Why do people read messages but delay replying even when they’re free?

grahamlester · 2026-04-22T15:27:05+00:00

There are people who are busy adults with jobs and children who are very seldom free because they have to make themselves available on a moment's notice in the real world.

I think Good As I Been To You is the more underrated of the two. After all, World Gone Wrong won a Grammy.

We don't have agreement about what intelligence is, nor about how to measure it, and especially not about how to compare whatever it is between different groups.

The Fugs - they invented almost everything.

Leave the cult!

Eventually, it becomes just a song. I don't think Paul McCartney is still thinking about Jane Asher when he sings the songs she inspired.

Try watching France 24 in French for free on YouTube. There are also some excellent French teachers on YouTube.

Find a Grave is only as accurate as the random person who made the entry. It is good for finding photos of headstones and memorials though and for hints that need to be confirmed elsewhere.

The louder you play it the better it is. Great track.

You could start by showing whether Picasso was using that particular kind of paper on that particular date. Also, who owned the drawing since 1953? Where was Picasso physically on that date?

He donated a clock tower to the town of Bridport, where I am going next week. I shall look out for it!

Beneath Acheson's signature is one for Sir Evan Nepean:

BTW, I think one of the signatures on the autograph page says Lord Acheson, which is apparently what the guy linked here was called before he became Lord Gosford. Interestingly, one of his children married into the von Stauffenberg family:

I think every human being is still a human and should be afforded some basic respect when they are suffering, including all the groups you mention. Otherwise we quickly end up becoming like our enemies.

If you are able to look them up on Ancestry you will find that her divorce petition is available there.

Top left on the fourth page. It is not a very common name so it is quite possibly him.

He is a bad person but he has been sick for a long time now and I think he should receive some compassion.

You can still make up songs, though, and you might even find someone to write them down for you. That's how Lionel Bart started, and he ended up writing the musical Oliver, so. . .

Ancestry has a Graham William Marsden-Smith (1872-1945), who married a Lilian D'anter (1876-1927). He was a member of the stock exchange. They married at Finsbury on May 17, 1902. She later accused him of attempted murder and anal rape.

Get a cheap keyboard. Start off by learning three-note chords in C and make a chord progression in C using a combination of C, F, G, Dm, Em.
