And handed it to me

From the thirteenth century
And every one of them words rang true
And glowed like burnin coal
Pourin off of every page
Like it was written in my soul from me to you,
Tangled up in blue.

I'm Too Knackered To Walk To The Well !!!

This is the comment Gail Porter made this morning in relation to the illness ME. She was a guest panelist on The Wright Stuff and remarked

People in Africa don't have ME, you don't hear them saying I am too knackered to walk to the well

Its a old "joke" of Ricky Gervais, not funny when he says it and not funny by celebs who copy him. Let them come and walk a day in my shoes..... it would be interesting too see if they would continue to comment on conditions they obviously are ignorant off...all in the name of comedy!!!

Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
