    For me, Roehre constitutes my personal abridged version of Groves Dictionary. If he chooses not to post, that is his choice.

    You can always send him a PM if you have a query and I am sure he will have the courtesy to reply.

    I take the view which has been attributed to a famous American politician:

    "If you've got nothing to say - don't say it! "

      But as a saintly American musician put it:

      “I have nothing to say
      and I am saying it
      and that is poetry
      as I need it.”

              I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

              I am not a number, I am a free man.

                            Perhaps he was flying home for Christmas!

                              A bit obscure, was that.

                              When I first blessed this forum with my presence in January 2012, I used to find that very often I'd find myself coming onto the site, not signed in, where I'd left off the previous day. This was usually the "what are you listening to now, Fred?" Because I wasn't signed in, it always defaulted to the first page. And I'd see Norfolk Born's entry of 'Chris Rea's Greatest Hits'. I wondered why he kept playing the same CD. This went on for weeks until I realised I was just going back to the first page all the time!

                              Did I ever tell you about the time my library books were overdue?

                                Hey Beefy it wasn't you that upset Norfolk Born was it? No it wouldn't be.... But I seem to remember he was offended by something.
