RECENTLY a suspicious-looking cardboard box was found outside a Territorial Army centre in Bristol, Police magazine reports. The TA called the police, who called an Army bomb disposal unit, which blew the box up - to find it full of leaflets on how to deal with suspicious-looking packages.
I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days--three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.

- John Keats, Letter to Fanny Brawne, July 1, 1819

Not the best thing to do to a person who rejected you

No more Sugar for me

I can't believe I am saying this but I think the Sugarbabes make for the prefect example for existence and identity arguments.

Does the Sugarbabes remain the Sugarbabies when all their original members are completely replaced by new ones? If not, what are they now?

When the first member left and a new one took over, are they still the Sugarbabes?

When did the Sugarbabes officially cease to exist or has it always existed?

Is existence a progression of loss and gain of members, or once one original is lost the identity is lost?

Did the Sugarbabes change when the last member of the group left?

Why is this so hard? We never had this problem with the Spice Girls

A new year

Feet shuffling
Sounds reappearing
Things are moving
Planes are landing
Things are becoming normal
Time to resume
Pick up where I left off
Time to put on that smile.

"I Don't Believe You" - Pink



Lyrics:
I dont mind it
I dont mind at all
Its like youre the swing set
And Im the kid that falls
Its like the way we fight
The times I cry
We come to blows
And every night
The passions there
So its gotta be right
Right?

Refrain:

No I dont believe you
When you say dont come around here no more
I wont remind you
You said we wouldnt be apart
No I dont believe you
When you say you dont need me anymore
So dont pretend to
Not love me at all

I dont mind it
I still dont mind at all
Its like
one of those bad dreams
When you cant wake up
Looks like
youve given up
Youve had enough
But I want more
No I won´t stop
'Cause I just know
Youll come around
Right?

Refrain:

No, I dont believe you
When you say dont come around here no more
I wont remind you
You said we wouldnt be apart
No I dont believe you
When you say you dont need me anymore
So dont pretend to
Not love me at all

Just dont stand there and watch me fall
'Cause I, 'cause I still dont mind at all

Its like
the way we fight
The times I cry
We come to blows
And every night
The passion's there
So its got to be right,
Right?

Refrain:

No I dont believe you
When you say dont come around here no more
I wont remind you
You said we wouldnt be apart
No I dont believe you
When you say you dont need me anymore
So dont pretend to
Not love me at all

Cause I dont believe you
