Peace and Love

Chaps
I have have quite a good day today.
Mrs Mick and I went to Banbury to attend the Banbury Run which is an annual run of pre 1931 vintage motorcycles and they depart from a local school and return back there, usually after a couple of hours.
I purchased some bits for my bike at the auto jumble and then had a good gawp at hundreds of old bikes. The bikes get better every year and it is good to see younger chaps entering instead of old guys as of present.
Then we went to Leamington Spa, where we once lived 25 yrs ago, to visit some old friends for a good old chin wag.
We were saddened to hear a young neighbour recently died and pleased to hear that some oik who we disliked is now in clink. Evidently he got a 3 year stretch for child pornography crimes. I never trusted the man and most people whom I take a dislike to are dubious types. If I dislike anyone on this forum, be assured they are bits of ruff.
We then return home via Leamington Spa and saw a hippie festival of love and peace taking place. They sang wierd songs and passed flowers around to each other and were generally very nice and gentle people. I bought a bowl of lentil something or other which will probably give me the runs tomorrow.
I quite liked these hippies but my own view is that they are wide open to exploitation and domination by "normal" types.
What do you think of hippies ?
Regards
Mick

Sounds like you had a good day, Mick!
As to hippies, I don't think you can have a better guiding principle to live by than 'peace and love'. Those who exploit them have to live with themselves but I'm sure the hippes will forgive them.
Good luck to them.
Peace and love, man!

Never understood the culture myself - still these Ozrics records are pretty good
I was at a Pagan wedding this weekend, standing in a circle on an iron-age hill fort and facing each element of the earth. Of course it all seems very daft, but standing up there seeing the sea on one side and the rolling countryside on the other and acknowledging the earth as an all powerful and beautiful body, it sort of makes sense. I don't think the hippies have it wrong, but it is a detached world and philosophy that is difficult to adhere to in this modern world. One thing that is clear is that they are not a threat to anyone, and therefore we should be grateful that there are people who are not hell-bent on destroying the world and everyone in it! I think it would benefit everyone to think more of their spiritual side.
I was in Glastonbury a few weeks ago and we overheard some people talking about some crystals they had, and that these crystals were being used for a healing ceremony, but they were too powerful and stopped them sleeping at night. All this with hushed tones and sincere frowns. When we got away we went around the corner and pissed ourselves laughing.
But you can't knock it - I might think they are deluded, but they're obviously wonderful gentle and caring people. They just make me laugh.

It's just that they were so serious about it
Yes, that is funny.

Yes, that is funny.
