Dittohead Posted September 8, 2000 Share Posted September 8, 2000 Alright it seems the only way to get members back who have stomped their feet and left is for all those responsible to stand together in this big box and loudly and proudly, as if you were a British citizen yourself, sing JERUSALEM. Where's Cardinal Fang when you need him. "And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Amongst these dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold; Bring me my arrows of Desire; Bring me my spear; O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land." Good show, there that seemed to help, just don't say the 'M' word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbo Posted September 8, 2000 Share Posted September 8, 2000 This was the hymn I most enjoyed singing in school There was another called "hearts of oak" I think which was also pretty kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Aitken Posted September 8, 2000 Share Posted September 8, 2000 What the Sassenachs don't know (and don't give the game away, just let them make a fool of themselves) is that Israel beat them by at least two thousand years. I prefer Radiohead myself. David ------------------ Major General Maxwell Taylor found himself with several officers but only two or three enlisted men. "Never," he told them, "have so few been commanded by so many." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dittohead Posted September 8, 2000 Author Share Posted September 8, 2000 Alright everybody back in the box, one more time now. "And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Amongst these dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold; Bring me my arrows of Desire; Bring me my spear; O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire!

Mikeydz Posted September 9, 2000 Share Posted September 9, 2000 I think I get the point. This is exactly why some of the "old-timers" and probably countless unknown lurkers, have abandoned the forum. Even with this simple post, the basis of senseless bickering has started to take hold. I'm not taking sides on this, but come on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
