I find you quite charming, 😉 but honestly, both of you are just being absolute pains...🤷

Back when he was younger and actually in decent shape, he could show up a bit tipsy and still pull off a full concert—but nowadays? It's just a different story.🤷
Robert Chavez4 said:It’s not like having a formal education has anything to do with raw intelligence or genuine talent... Honestly, his deep emotional depth—that extreme sensitivity he had—is probably what drove him toward the drugs and the booze. And "Fairytale of New York" is just an absolute masterpiece.

Honestly, the guy writes lyrics that just leave you stunned. I’ve always had a massive soft spot for those folk melodies; they make you want to grab a drink and find somewhere to dance a jig, preferably wearing a kilt, commando style.
You start out thinking the songs are just meant for getting drunk, and then suddenly, "Fairytale of New York" hits you—God, it's so sentimental—or "Waltzing Matilda," or that brilliant "Rainy Night in soha," which might actually be the best song ever written (it's got that bit where Pips and some postman who can't sleep get involved, WTF?? 😲 )... but it's incredible. It’s hard to believe what could come out of the mouth of that little, scrappy, drunken Irish guy... seriously, Shane, hats off to you. There are moments when you just want to sit there and cry while it's pouring rain outside... damn.
Since there haven't been any posts about the Pogues lately, let's break the silence. We
could, I guess, since Summer in Siam has started...
gotta run...

I ended up flying down a flight of stairs because someone spilled some nasty, slimy mess that was practically invisible on the floor.
It really did a number on my shoulder and upper arm.
The initial exam was super thorough and included an ultrasound; I actually had to get some imaging done, so I headed over to the hospital for that part.
Nothing was broken, just a bad strain and a deep bruise about the size of a large egg. It kept me from driving for almost two months!
I went through several different types of therapy, and honestly, some of them were a lifesaver. 🙂
I even sent a colleague there after she wrecked her knee skiing—it pretty much saved her from needing surgery!
I know a few other people who have gone there too, and they were all incredibly happy with the results.
One woman I know has some major issues with her spine; she’s mentioned it to me before, though I can't quite remember the specifics of what they treated for her, so I can't give you more details.
