I'll go first. (1) I love swans, they come up to the boat and tap tap on the hull asking for a treat. (2) 'Ride a White swan' was a magical moment for me when I heard it for the first time (3) Whiteswan... sounds like...Whites won! All daft I know but that's me.

First to join from our Leeds mad family was DrLeeds, my brother.
Second was our dad, who called himself DrsDad.
Finally there was me, Drsdadsotherson.

I used to drive lorries and install white goods, and my co-worker said that I complain more than Victor Meldrew, and I could be his miserable cousin Hector Mildew... It just sort of stuck....

Respect... By my remembering he was a unique man who didn't let religion get in the way of his dream of making Ireland for the Irish and not the English...

Nice story !

Many of the villages over here have ponds so watching Swans behaviour becomes part of every day life....they could take one of your fingers off if you are not careful. Very elegant birds. Love T Rex music too

back in the dim and distant past, when we finally got a computer with modem in it, and Dad got us connected to the internet, via AOL, we had to choose a username to log on. Leeds were a half decent team at the time, LUFC R ACE.
