i also remember being horrified seeing a brawl break out in a pub in north london and the aggressors ganged up on this bloke and literally kicked the p!ss out of him as he lay on the ground trying to at least protect his most vulnerable parts...it was about 6 on one which is also a very english way of dealing with irritations.

liz green had a quote that stuck with me, talking about england's ascendant i think..."if it moves, club it to death!" ... her succinct way of describing the english approach to change and new blood entering the system...

yeah .. this country runs on alchohol ..
it's the national disease ..
i live by three pubs .. constantly amazes me how old and worn out many of the pub goers look ..
the ones i see during the day on the street ..
i.e. screwed up blotchy wrinkly skin .. sagging faces .. depressed looking ..
i guess they must be the hard core drinkers

can't remember the last time i had a alchoholic drink .. must be at least 12 years ..

oh re jamie bulgers murderers ..
one recently was arrested ..
now he may lose his right to keep his identity hidden ..

either that or airy-fairy songs ..
'fire-flys dancing about my head' ( or something like that )

saw one character on jooles holland show ( when i had a television )
sat there with his guitar studying his navel singing in a morbid fashion..
sang something about 'poor me poor me' ..
then at the end crouched down on the stage and put his head in his hands like he was crying his eyes out ..
or about to commit suicide ..

She's not quite 60 yet but a few of years ago, I notice a marked change in her. She wasn't as sharp in her thinking, less self-possessed, more insular in how she connected with what was going on in the world, and growing more and more patronizing towards me. I don't know what happen, but one day a couple of years ago, I was visiting her when she flippantly said something to me that was deeply insulting and deeply offensive about something personal about me. I was literally stunned speechless, as in the many years I had known her, she never was anywhere near that condescending or nasty to me. It effectively ruined our friendship overnight, because she had become someone I don't even recognize.

I thought I was moving away from that yukkiness until a few weeks ago when a colleague lost it with me - but I have processed it and put it down to her stress and I have been sending good vibes to her and that has helped me heal....

Reading your post has helped me to remember that things happen to people - so it's not just me. It does make one weary when a shot comes out of the blue.

the 1952 lot will be dealing with that last transit
i.e. they will feel it building up

the 1951 born will be feeling it the most ( pluto opp n.uranus )

jump forward to 1953 the picture is much much different

i am a 49er and pluto is currently opposing my n uranus...and the saturn square is basically operative now despite the current retrograde into virgo, while jupiter and t uranus approach aries point and complete the cross...it is a crucible time for those born in and right around 1950 for sure, but not necessarily disastrous.

i feel some of our 30-40somethings are witnessing acquaintances crossing over into an age where their death is predicted to be imminent and they feel they have not fulfilled many of their former desires. some respond with bitterness, some retreat into seniority (not necessarily senility) and some into an entrenched position of superiority bestowed by "elder-ness" whether deserved or not.

but once again i do not think this is generational but age-related. by and large the pluto in leo generation is CAPABLE of staying young at heart longer than anyone but the pluto in gemini and sag crowds, one is VERY old - if alive at all - and the other is still very young.

on thinking about it .. and reflecting on past experiences .. i guess it's not inconceivable .. :-(

i've had some uncomfortable reactions when they figured i wasn't going to cross the line ( as it were )
2 gals .. both about 22 years my junior .. despite fairly obvious hints to which my (internal) reaction
is ... 'no no she couldn't possibly have those type of feelings for me - i must not be seeing the situation right
what yer thinking hd is impossible' .. .. one sag. gal threw things at me in frustration ( me 'what was That for !!!' )
and a scorp. simply refused to acknowledge my existense when we were socialising with common friends ..
i.e. cold as ice ..

scorp. .. i'd given her a ride home .. she was in the middle of a breakup with bf. ..
( this was slightly different as i realy fancied her big-time .. although never showed it )
the bf was someone i liked .. i wasn't about to interfere in their relationship ( 'cause i don't tolerate the same )
and .. she was a bit drunk at the time .. .. so i stayed 'n had a drink with her .. then took my leave ..
next time i saw her .. she was the ice queen .. although nice and friendly to everyone else about ..
( 'n me thinking .. so this is the price for being friendly and not taking advantage )

actually it's usually weeks after the fact that i realise the reality ..
sort of regret not crossing the line with scorp :-/ .. as things turned out ..
told myself .. 'next time forget right 'n wrongs' and go for it ..
still don't seem right somehow ..
but a female leo friend said .. " ah .. but .. you don't know what you might be missing "
maybe she was right .. ..

so i guess .. maybe .. i could get crap again ..
what to do .. stop being friendly ??? be like a no win scenerio ..

anyhow i've made my mind up and pledged my heart to one particular sun-sign ..
'n if i cross paths with a much younger version and there's a solid and deep attraction
i'll go for the ride wherever it leads ..
if i never meet up .. then i'll stay single 'till my times up on this earth ..

famous last words :-)))))) .. i'll probably have to eat them someday .. though hopefuly not ..
