Out of Sight

where in heaven does life go to ~ pondered the prophet of doom one day 
  
  searching through his empty future ~ instead of looking the other way

If we don’t stay where they put us when we’re done, I’ve got my eyes on the gates rather than the furnace. Trouble is, I only feel about half the age of my birth certificate (it must have been written in anticipation) so I’m not practicing my grovelling just yet. Thought provoking Monoku, David. Terry

No point in grovelling Terry, would only make things worse lol, perhaps a good meaningful poem would suffice as a plea bargain, cheers David

That damn Irish channel was half Irish half English in the past, I think because they used to beat the crap out of us in an English speaking school for not knowing the Irish language, didn’t exactly help matters, it was a messed up system like S.A

Exactly David Different outcome every time My full name is Christopher Television Times Flaherty. Funny you answer the questions I want to ask you sometimes without even having to ask. You named your t.v channel here i pressume to think is like Ireland and we have the same telly don't quite actually know why. In S.A growing up we had half day t.v alternating between 1 day English 1 day Afrikaans

Absolutely Christopher, that is only a simulation of one possible outcome, if they retried it over and over the result would not be the same every time, Telly addict heh

Exactly David Ever seen Tipping Point At the end they offer to trade 3 more counter's for the money. To try and win the Jackpot prize. And if they don't they play it out anyway. But that isn't to say that is how it would play out if they took the trade. Future is only a concept until it's actually happened
