Last evening whilst having my own late night concert featuring the music of my younger days, I came across this Terry Jacks number. I was immediately struck by the relevance of the choruses of this song, to Football fans everywhere and Arsenal fans in particular.
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun. But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
One only has to read this blog, to see these sentiments reiterated regularly in so many ways.
This is the song of the we haven’t won anything for years brigade, the time for a change, we can’t look back or live in the past supporters, desperate for more trophies.
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.
Written for the “Wenger got lucky, he arrived at the right time and inherited a back line that won him trophies and he couldn’t recognise a centre back today if one fell on him”
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun. But the stars we could reach were just starfish’s on the beach.
We never aimed high enough took the easy pickings then surrendered any further progress, by swapping our best players for a new ground and a yearly profit.
Amazing what you can find in a song especially if like me and many older supporters who come on here, you’ve had Joy, you’ve had fun and those seasons in the sun, rain and the snow, and a lifetime of memories you wouldn’t swap or change for anything.
Because it is that mixture of triumph and disaster that has made Arsenal the club we love above all others, secure in the knowledge that it has not yet been defiled or turned into a personal plaything by a Johnny come lately with questionable motives or finances.

Good morning to you all,
Nice one dandan, I agree with all that you say with the exception of your last half a sentence, “secure in the knowledge that it has not yet been defiled or turned into a personal plaything by a Johnny come lately with questionable motives or finances”. What else can be said for the present ownwership?
Wow, DD, a philosophical start to the day — and so true! 🙂
I suppose whatever the comparative ages of the AA bloggers, and others, we have all got youthful ‘histories’ and a nostalgic or whimsical look back at the great fun times we had and the aspirations which may have faded over the years, might make the ‘gimmee, gimmees pause for thought and realize they should enjoy life, including their footie club, while they can, because time is all too fleeting.
Thanx, Dandan. 😀
Wow, “Seasons in the sun” eh Dan dan ? Thanks for the nostalgia there, as being a fairly old git I just about remember Pans people dancing to that at the end of Top of the Pops one day back in the 70’s.
As I’m a fairly vapid personality can I offer up a few lines of this ditty concerning the way the footballing gods treat us? :
“Drones since the dawn of time
Compelled to live your sheltered lives
Not once has anyone ever seen
Such a rise of pure hypocrisy
I’ll instigate I’ll free your mind
I’ll show you what I’ve known all this time
God Hates Us All, God Hates Us All
You know it’s true God hates this place
You know it’s true he hates this race”
Hi Norfolk, 🙂
You made me pause for thought, earlier, when in response to my definition of myself as a pragmatist, you said you were a realist.
Would you agree that these two definitions are similar but fundamentally different?
I think a realist is someone who sees something as it is, and accepts it, but does not try to change anything.
Whereas a pragmatist is someone who wishes something was better, but recognizing what it actually is – tries to improve it.
One (the realist) is resigned to the status quo, while the other (the pragmatist) refuses to believe it cannot be changed for the better.
Out of interest, is that how you see yourself? 🙂
Hi CharyB, 🙂
Dandan has set the philosophical tone this morning.
Your ditty/ode is out and out nihilism, because it seems to be saying that all religious values are baseless and without worth.
Is that what you meant?
My love of Arsenal defines my footballing creed, and I do not accept that it is baseless! 🙂
Nothing as deep as that Redders, just that as soon as DanDan said “Seasons in the..” I thought of the masters of black metal Slayer and their magnificent 1990 opus, Seasons in the abyss(although the quote is from a later album, lest someone notices the error).
Having said that I also do think that we’ve had appalling luck when it most hurt, dodgy penalties conceded, losing the Carling Cup to a late howler, Bendy scuffing the shot to take us through to the next round of the Champions league against Barca, etc…
I’m trying to stick to the topic but the riff to Dead skin mask keeps going through my head right now…dam you Hanneman and Arya !
RA,
As a realist I have to accept what is patently obvious, I don’t believe in miracles, (song title?) and can’t change history but to say that I wouldn’t try to influence the future by changing something in the present is not true. Again as a realist what can I a nearly septuagenarian pensioner living on a less than modest stipend do to influence an organisation like Arsenal Football Club?
Realistically then, I see little difference between the two, as I do believe something can be done to make a change for the better, just not by me personally.
Morning all, thanks Dandan for such an original perspective from which to view our support.
As you know, I’m very proud of our historical achievements and the classy way we run our club but your line “we can’t look back or live in the past” can be viewed on its own and not used as a term by which to brand supporters who are not happy with what they have seen happening in recent years as being untrue to what we stand for.
I say yes, be proud of the past, learn from the great things we’ve achieved and also learn from the mistakes. We have to look forward and to progress we need to adapt to the new footballing landscape.
You tell ’em DanDan
From here on in I’ll respond to all negativity with – is there anything you’ve enjoyed about Arsenal this season..?? Anything at all…
I once asked a perpetual moaner to list ten things he currently loved about Arsenal. He got to about 7 or 8, and then turned it into a moan. He simply couldn’t help himself.
‘secure in the knowledge that it has not yet been defiled or turned into a personal plaything by a Johnny come lately with questionable motives or finances’
Would love this to be true pal, but it’s not. We might not have billionaire owners willing to spend, but we do have dodgy ‘Johnny come lately’s’ (your words not mine) as our two major shareholders.
To me Arsenal is like falling in love with a girl and then 40 years later realising the person you’re next to is nothing like she used to be. Going down the Arsenal is nothing like it used to be. Not sure if anyone on here likes the Pistols but Johnny Rotten (Lydon) expresses my feelings perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrz92Z0SsDI .
Whilst there are valid moans and complaints, I’m just not inclined to listen to them over and over again.
I often wonder if some of the moaners actually still celebrate Arsenal goals and wins. You wouldn’t think so at times
CharyB,
I am just showing my complete and utter ignorance of everything you said from “I thought of the masters of black metal Slayer and their magnificent 1990 opus, Seasons in the abyss”.
You are of course right that one thing makes a connection to another
and now you are riffing away to a dead Skin mask!? 😀
Thomas, what did you expect when you met that girl forty years ago?
The girl I met, nearly fifty years ago, is very different to the woman I’m married to but then I’m also very different to the person I was when we met. The fact that we have matured together and still love each other after all this time is a testament to our tolerance of change and our resilience.
All this and she is still a Spurs supporter. 😀
Norfolk,
That’s fair enough. 🙂
I suppose I was thinking of the general philosophical viewpoint. It is not always possible for a pragmatist to change the current state of play (so to speak) but if he could, he would.
My suspicion from what you said is that you are really a pragmatist too. 😀
Enough of my prattle — I just sometimes like to have a discussion with guys like you and CharyB that does not revolve around the same old beefs and whinges and the counter claims that inevitably lead to everyone falling out. 🙂
Morning Redders, maybe the tenet should be: accept what you cannot change, do not change for change’s sake, but don’t be afraid of change if established options are failing.
Slushy tarts’ music
Ha ha Redders, I thought about not making that point clear as I doubted anyone would know what I’m going on about…no change there. 🙂
One thing that maybe of interest(but probably not) but one of the tracks from Seasons (War Ensemble) was said to be used by the US military to gee their troops into a state of controlled panic in advance of troops going into combat during hostilities in the Middle East.
Is Slayer too soft for you Big Al, you more into death/industrial metal than thrash ?
Norfolk,
I get you, I’m a very different person to what I was 40 years ago, so are my pals, and so is my wife. I guess I (rather selfishly and foolishly) thought that despite everything in the rest of my life changing the Arsenal would always stay constant.
I had a rough period of my life in my late teens and early twenties and the weekly visit to the old girl (highbury) was almost therapeutic for me. I can’t walk up the Avenell road nowadays without getting angry at how the club just used it as a cash cow. I guess I am a self confessed Luddite.
My attitude is, that since the Arsenal has sold it’s soul it has to become focused on winning. United sold its soul back in the 90’s, we’ve done the same thing. Therefore any preaching of moral correctness or being on the higher ground from the club falls on deaf ears to me.
RA,
OK, I’m a pragmatic realist. 😀 As such I can enjoy the seasons in the sun but at times I feel like Edvard Munch’s The Scream. As another defensive howler gifts the opposition three points.
I only have a minute or so, but before I comment on the post, could someone bin Chary immediately.
The man is butter a fag papers’ thickness away from Youtubing us with that wretched instrument of his 😦
Gotta go now! Another song title?
Phew, that’s better. Now, dandan,
What an original idea for a post. I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you.
I was thinking earlier about people for whom only trophies matter, and wondering whether football fans of say, Crewe or Preston, awake one bright and sunny morning in August, with the first game of a new season but hours away, mates to meet and a game to enjoy, but then think:
“Nah. What’s the point”
Morning Micky, running a blog is not too dissimilar to a football club in as much as you build up a group of followers who come to have a level of expectation. The supporters of Crewe or Preston are probably mostly local and have chosen that team based on local values. With larger clubs, a high percentage of the support will be attracted by glamour/star players/scintilating fooball/winning trophies etc and will have a totally different level of expectation.
We are lucky to have bloggers like GN5 who grew up a stone’s throw from Highbury, but the club has grown and for commercial reasons we now need to keep recruiting new supporters globally and success on the pitch is pivotal to that process.
Hi charybdis
I was referring to dandan’s music not yours.
Man up, dandan 🙂
Oi Mdi89 – I’ve got my 221 views on that video of mine and am happy ! 🙂
If i’m brutally honest, I have to say I’m looking forward to next season already which is what I thought I’d be saying this time last year. We only delayed the inevitable by having the good luck of some of some dutch blokes mishits trickle into the goal to get us enough points for top 3 last year.
The finish to this season could be like a night out with Lescott, Tevez and Zabaleta – it could turn really ugly.
As long as the lads give a good account of themselves in the remaining 10 (+1)games it’s all I can wish for.
Oh, and the Chavs winning their replay(and losing in the semi to Wigan)…and the Spuds imploding….
Thought so Big Al, I didn’t have you down as a Rammstein fan.
I agree Micky, it can’t just be about winning trophies. I wish I was one of the travelling faithfull singing their hearts out in support tomorrow night.
The Emirates was rocking this time last year when AC Milan came to call and we were 4-0 down from the first leg. We screamed with excitement as the three goals hit the back of the net and desperately wanted the fourth to take us to extra time. It didn’t come but the experience is etched into my memory.
‘We screamed with excitement’ well I did but that’s cos I’m a girl 🙂
Peachy, Tim from my other site is at Munich for the game tomorrow – meeting him for a drink Friday night in the Hyde Park area if anyone’s around.
Did someone mention Slayer?? Fear not chary. You are not alone! 🙂
As for the post. My joy in watching Arsenal is not gone. It’s still there. I love watching the games and running and kicking and concentrating with the team through the tv, and hopefully celebrating at the end, or not. It doesn’t really matter to me if we win or lose. That’s not the basis of my joy.
Someone above said we can’t hold ourselves as morally superior. I say we can, and we must. Arsenal, under Wenger, try to play football without diving, causing injury, and with respect for the opposition. We instruct our players to behave well and by and large, most of them do. We get no favours from the referees or the media, and are absolutely slaughtered for doing things the way we choose (I would say the right way, but that is subjective) and still we have the strength and belief to continue down that path. Even if you don’t agree with that path, you should respect the determination and sacrifices that come with it and we’ve been willing to take on. We are the good guys. It’s just that some people have been told to believe that good guys finish last.
Anyway. Same old same old. I need to get back under the rock that I crawled out from. Thanks for a quality post dandan.
Peaches,
I was there during the Milan game too. I met some people the next day and they said that I must be gutted by coming so close. What I actually felt was pride. Great atmosphere that night.
dandan
Only joking, mate. Your post is actually rather clever, idea-wise.
Is everyone on here aware that Jack Wilshere is almost certainly out of the Bayern game.
Podolski too.
Can’t see a mention anywhere…
Hi Big Al, yes Wilshere is variously reported as being out for anything from 3 weeks to the end of the season. We do have plenty of capable midfielders so it doesn’t have to spell the end of our chances this season.
Rasp,
I understand what you are saying, and of course you are right, but I still don’t get why some people would invest so much time and energy on a day to day basis, when for them, its only the bigger picture that matters.
They must miss out on so much of what supporting a club is about, and the enjoyment it can bring.
Even during the fallow years at Highbury, we were always one of the biggest clubs. I blame todays consumerist society
“End of the season” Rasp
That would be a terrible blow
“Yesterday”
Yesterday, all our troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, we believe in yesterday
Suddenly, wer’e not half the team we used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, how today came suddenly
Why they had to go we don’t know they wouldn’t say
We said something’s wrong, now we long for yesterday
Yesterday, football was such an easy game to play
Now we need a place to hide away
Oh, we believe in yesterday
Why they had to go we don’t know they wouldn’t say
We said something’s wrong, now we long for yesterday
Yesterday, football was such an easy game to play
Now we need a place to hide away
Oh, we believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Hi Micky I agree (your @ 11:29), there is no going back. We’ve employ many people and have built a 60,000 seater stadium so we have to make it pay and to do that we need to be competing near the top. Some of the romance has gone but not the match day excitement that you and others describe.
Even though I know its nuts, I have a deep tingling feeling in me that says we’re going to pull it off tomorrow – but I also get the same feeling when I buy a lottery ticket 😆
We’ve covered the topic so many times, but it has to be said that those who run the club are responsible for the ‘expectation’ – not the supporters. The supporters just absorb the messages the club transmits and interpret them according to their own individual outlook.
Ah Nihi, someone knows what I’m on about !
What you say about being proud in defeat is interesting, I felt that way after our 8-2 drubbing at Old Toilet – a contrary git aren’t I ?
Hi Raspers, 🙂
Your 10:39 is very astute. Me like! 🙂
On the radio I heard that Jack was out with an ankle injury not for three weeks, but three months.
Unfortunately he is so important for Arsenal, that despite his age, and the previous terrible injury he had, he is not being rested enough.
I am worried that this could become Diaby mark2.
Rasp
Please don’t use language like “a deep tingling feeling”, or you know who will plug in!
RA,
Agree, the Rasp point at 10:39 was, as you say, “astute”.
Nice stuff dandan. i love your outlook on things.
Whats there to worry about? We support a great club and have a great future.
Thomas, 40 years? you lucky sod. My wife changed the first minute we got married. No more jam tarts for me, more like stale bread.
Those were the days, my friend, we’d thought they’d never end………..
beautiful babs……..can’t remember what her name was.
Chas, you’re the only one to pick up on my Pans People comment, bravo!
Have to admit the age I was when I saw that I just found Pans People annoying – what is the point of them ? They’re just dancing, what a waste of time I thought! But then I would have been about 7 then.
Bab’s Powell, married the actor Robert Powell (The 39 steps)
Seasons in the Sun. Horrible record. On the Bell label, same as David Cassidy and I link them together, Being a rocker, I found both detestable.
Strangely, some of those 70’s hits which I was so snooty about I have come to enjoy – guilty pleasures, I think they are called.
But Terry Jacks, is lumped in there with The Osmonds, Cassidy, Bay City Rollers and Tie a Yellow Ribbon.
That said, the post wasn’t about the music was it? It was about the sentiment. Tomorrow we play Bayern Munich – is this an indicator that our Arsenal have disappeared? No way.
Today, there is only One Team in Europe.
We are still having joy and fun.
I think I saw Kesley in the Jeepster video. Well, it looked like his hair 😀
Hi Raddy, what do you think of the Steely Dan album Two against nature? (released around 2000ish )
@5:58 🙂
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x–M_5AdInk
We had joy we had fun, we had Tottenham on the run……
Cheers dandan.
Does anyone think the Wlishere situation could be a ploy ? Leaving him out of a probably lost cause tomorrow so he can escape some meaningless (well meaningless to Arsenal fans) internationals and be fresh for the final last 9 games push.
Anyone ?
Thought not. 😦
I did, chary.
Wenger does, too.
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-hopeful-of-swift-wilshere-return
Team News: Gibbs, Wilshere, Diaby, Sagna
Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of the Bayern Munich game:
on the team news…
Wilshere is out with an inflamed ankle, on the [left side], not the [right side] where he was injured [before] and he will be out for three weeks. He will not be available for Munich, for Swansea and not for the England games.
on Kieran Gibbs…
He is back in the squad, yes. It is great to have him back because we play Vermaelen out of position, although he can play left back. I have not decided if Kieran will start, but hopefully he will be fit to start.
on Sagna and Diaby…
Sagna is not available, Diaby is back in the squad. He has a test [on Wednesday]. Again, he is a bit short but hopefully he can travel.
Not bothered who lines up against the Germans. Who ever plays we will go through and hopefully go on to win the bloody thing.
The Spirit of Paul Vaessen is Stiring (God Bless Him)
Let’s hope so Chas, we’re going to need all hands on deck for the run in.
Squeaky bums and all that. That’s for later, for now we can sit back and watch the hilarity ensue at the Nou Camp. Can’t wait to see Xavi’s stupid dumb face crumpled in tears after they get dumped out.
Mr Syrup. really sad about Vaessen, may his soul RIP.
Yes chary, but his spirit lives on. We need a bit of that tomorrow night.
Ime convinced we can do it. Mind you ime in a fantastic mood. i have increased my propecia intake to 1.5 milligrams and have just sprouted a hair on my left temple. The first hair seen in that area since 1985. hahaha
TERRY MANCINI HAIR TRANSPLANT

You just led me to “Google” – thanks…
To all on this site
re: Paul Vaessen
This is a very, very good read, and very sad too:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2002/mar/17/sport.comment
True Big Al.
Onto the latest machinations at Referee United, so Howard Webb deems Turtle face’s swipe from behind on Torres on Sunday not worthy of a red card so he will not face any further action.
The bald git is doing all he can to get back into the ManUre starting 12.
Christ Big Al, i didnt realise how low he had fallen.
I will always remember him for that goal. i went to the first leg against juve and couldnt belive how good they were. Think they had sevEn italian internationals that formed the base for the 82 world cup winning team.
Just shows anything is possible. Tomorrow night is not a write off, we can do it.
TMHT and chary (et al)
As I said, I “Googled” due to both of you commenting.
The date of the Guardian is 2002, so it’s good that ‘old news’ is still available.
I had no idea of his situation.
I was reading about Gazza yesterday. Again, very sad.
I urge you ALL to click on the link on my post, 4.30pm.
Are you all aware?
FOOTBALL TALK, 12 March, 16.02
Arsenal Squad versus Bayern Munich
Our No. 1 Pole in Goal is “rested”.
Fabianski, Mannone, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Arteta, Coquelin, Ramsey, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rosicky, Cazorla, Walcott, Giroud, Gervinho, Arshavin
There ya go Big Raddy…
My team (not what I think Wenger will pick), but what I would like personally…
Fabianski
Jenkinson – Koscielny – Koscielny – Gibbs
Walcott – Ramsey – Arteta – Cazorla – Rosicky
Giroud
Wenger will pick Mertesacker.
And Diaby possibly, if fit enough.
He may opt for Gervinho at wide left.
Yep!
The Koscielny twins 🙂
Jenkinson – Koscielny – Vermaelen – Gibbs
Big Al. A depressing read but thanks for the link.
Rasp. Need you ask. I think it is a fine album – in fact I believe it won album of the year in USA. Some superb guitar work allied to good songs and harmonies.
The Becker/Fagen boys are genius.
DD masterpiece…..love it
Big Raddy and Rasp
I’ve got all the Steely Dan albums.
The best is definitely Aja (1977)
bed time…
Afternoon all any one fancy a game tomorrow we are short of players
Arsen Wenger
Thanks you guys for all the comments.
Big Al, fear not sir, in time you like Big Raddy will grow to realise there is real music beyond those three cord wonders who hide there deficiency’s behind a wall of sound, Heavy metal!!!! the music of the junk yards. 🙂 the hearing specialist dream come true. Headbangers delight
BR my friend you can tell me,I will keep your secret, did you have a Harley Davidson or was a Vespa or Lambretta your secret mode of transport. 🙂
The Szczesny being rested thing is totally out of the blue and it would appear Arsene has written off the tie, surely there must be something more to it?
If Wilshere was going to pick up a fictitious injury surely it’s done after Swansea?
He will still need to be assessed by England if they pick him, and if there is nothing there I fear the FA will demand he plays.
Lovely post dandan – and a great song!
Perhaps this ditty might have some relevance to us as well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cVnxenNEZ8
Rocky Lives, I thank you and yes that is another song that carries the message of the years.
Watching Barca MESSI what a player and he’s only 24 I’ve older underpants
Much love
DD. 😀 I had a Vespa!!
And I am not a heavy metal man, more a music man
“I’ve older underpants”
That’s brilliant 😀
Cheers RL no cese tonight they playing well don’t need him any chance of a loan back to gunners
Fair play Barca good side still the team to beat .
On a music theme I rember all them songs apart from the birds one bit before my time
No Cesc nor Song. They are quite good aren’t they.
Barca are a bit good aren’t they?
Looks like Galatassaray going to knock out Schalke too.
So an early goal tomorrow….we must get an early goal and force Bayern to fear the second and therefore attack a bit. The longer it stays 0-0 tomorrow any chance to progress will decline.
Snap Raddy 🙂
If we win tomorrow ill never come here again .
I can hear a few people “thank god”
Much love
Don’t be silly Sheep, you’ll be coming on and cheering to the rafters like the rest of us……altho I admit you’re probably not going to have to worry too much….assuming you mean win the tie rather than win the match.
Morning all.
Sorry dandan but we had some work done in the house yesterday and a man stole my wife’s purse which was hidden which had her passport,UK credit cards and english cash in it.
I agree with GIE, that Wenger has written off the game tonight regardless of what he says and I don’t expect us to win,just hope we don’t get humiliated.
Jack is a big loss as would be Podolski if not fit and if Flappy is in goal, well 🙂
Rasp. Finished….. you shouldn’t be up so early.
Kelsey … you too. 4,42 even with CET is no time for a grown up to be blogging. Horrible news about your wife’s purse. I guess most if us have been victims of house burglary but it remains a deeply invasive crime. Hope they castrate the perpetrator.
Heavy snow here (thanks RA). Which means donning some wet weather gear and heading out with the shovel. Bum 😦
Horrible news on your theft Kelsey…..hope it gets sorted.
GIE. I hope for Retribution. You are far more civilized 🙂
Morning Raddy, I’ve done my bit… up early excited about the game but concerned at AW saying that Sz’s confidence is shot – that doesn’t augur well for the rest of the prem games 😦
Hi kelsey, sorry to hear of your problems – are the police helpful over there?
Morning All, 🙂
Hi Kelsey — give your Mrs her purse back!! 😀
Morning Kelsey….I’m so sorry to hear your horrible news. It’s a despicable crime and I sincerely hope they get Karma.
Chin up, take care.
Police helpful over here,you’re having a laugh. Of course the guy was an ex pat but my wife needs her passport in the next 4 weeks and you have to go to the police fill out a form in spanish then send that with a long form to the british consulate and then they only issue you a temporary pasport a week before you are leaving the country on proof of you having a ticket.
We have been ripped off twice before by builders and again ex pats.
When I said sorted Raddy I was being discrete, what I meant was hope one of Kelsey’s neighbours pulls some Kray relations in to help the perpetrator understand the error of his ways 🙂
Rasp haven’t heard the press conference, if Wenger said that I am not surprised he left him out, maybe it’ll be good for him to have a couple of matches to contemplate. Think the second goal at the shithole would have been a clear indicator that all was not well with TPIG and his relationship with the defence in front of him….I’ve said before 90% of being a good goalkeeper is organising the defence in front of you and controlling your area, if players aren’t listening to you, you are in the mire before you’ve started. I’ve experienced old heads that won’t listen, I’ve also experienced played behind new defences that have not listened and has caused pandemonium, it’s up to the coaches to tell the players to listen. I ended up calling a meeting with my defence and coach and said if they listened to me I would take responsibility for all goals conceded.
The new team I joined had conceded a goal or more a game….after my arrival we went ten games without conceding, until I made an error of judgement.
This was a reason I thought more highly of Seaman than Schmeichel, it was his calm presence and the fact he never bollocked players when called into action, Schmeichel always used to be upset if perish the thought he had to do what he was paid for and make a save.
The PIG has Mental problems best me make an appointment to see the sheep .
I can do a medical review from the neck up.
Sorry to hear about Kelsey’s wife’s purse gone missing,remind me where is Kelsey is it Espana .
Have a good day catch u all tonight
Much love
Sheepy
Morning all
There’s a New Post …………………..
