You have nothing about which to be ashamed.<br /><br />Instead, turn around; take my hand - stomp off with me; not in a backward direction, but forward towards he who is so ill-informed, and slightly neurotic to have issued such insults.<br /><br />There are some who live in their own fantasy world for mysterious reasons known only to themselves. It is their misfortune, and theirs alone. I often wonder if such people audition first to enter the world of illusion, or do they enter without trial or test.<br /><br />To be called a "banshee", although slightly insulting, to me it's not daunting. <br /><br />In fact, it cemented my resolve. Although that wasn't Mr. Pudding's intention, it had the opposite effect on me. It was a backhanded, masterful, definitive stroke; one that has inspired me, rather than deflated or defeated me.<br /><br />If I am considered to be a banshee I figure I may as well live up to the name. Make it my commitment to live up to Gaelic folklore.<br /><br />I step forth purposely with an aura of impending doom towards he who is so foolish and so careless to have cast reckless aspersions.<br /><br />Jonas Schilling might be thought to have a virulent attitude. Compared to me, he is a kitten. With regards to the tail you sense swishing back and forth - it is not the tail of a tiger, but one of a scorpion...one with a almighty sting at its tip!<br /><br />Defy us at his peril. His credentials I dispute; his knowledge and insight I also dispute.

Some chair-people can be rather neurotic for they find the responsibility daunting but in such stressful roles I am quite masterful and nothing can discourage me from making tough decisions. I defy anyone to dispute this.<br />It was the judging panel’s misfortune that the first bands on stage were Elephant’s Child and Kitchen Connection. The former offered an indescribable cheesy number called “Mysterious Love” which jarred on the senses and the latter had a wailing banshee of a lead singer called Lee who was dressed in a tiger print cat suit – complete with tail. It’s not something I shall forget in a hurry.<br />The next band up was from Yorkshire in England. They were a tight, heavy rock quartet called Virulent and they were absolutely brilliant! They did a rock version of the Australian national anthem – “Advance Australia Fair” which had the audience in raptures. <br />We thought they were definitely the winners until we heard the last band – Definitive Fantasy. They were like a hybrid cross between Pink Floyd and Queen and their offering was an original number called “Drifting Through Life” written by the lead singer – a petite firecracker called River. We were delighted to announce that they’d be going through to the final in Brisbane.<br />Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-881828426511564262017-04-26T04:21:45.942-07:002017-04-26T04:21:45.942-07:00You can do it, River.

Margaret and her friend Sue send me the prompts, but it interfers with Margaret's blogging schedule so I will post them on their behalf.<br /><br />My take for the week.<br /><br />Sally's life is beset by misfortune. Indeed, the definitive description would have to include the words daunting, doom and disaster.<br /> Those mysterious bumps in the night ? Her home slowly settling into a sinkhole. <br /> The rash she got on her neck? A virulent infection which antibiotics couldn't touch.<br />Her commitment ceremony with Laura? Stopped in its tracks because Laura fell in love with the celebrant. <br />Did it discourage her? Did it hell. Instead she chose to defy experience and treat every day as an audition for the fantasy life of her choice.<br />Neurotic or a masterful reframe? You decide.<br />Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-55952644787085554992017-04-25T11:13:03.247-07:002017-04-25T11:13:03.247-07:00Oooh...I hope Mimi's 'all' was enough....Oooh...I hope Mimi's 'all' was enough.
