Old Omar seems to project a "live now, nothing to pay later" image in the main, I agree. He glorified the grape mightily, (may even have composed some of his work whilst under its spell) Then he slips in a few doubts about it all, just one example being:

"And he that tossed thee down into the field,
He knows about it all- He Knows, He knows!

There are several others of that ilk as I'm sure you know. Bottom line, We'll see it as we see it, and play it as we will. "What happens next?" is still the greatest mystery in the universe. " Oh, the brave music of a distant drum!" :wink:

The pope is due to bless 100,000 Harley Davidson motorbikes next month. That can't be right - in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost and His Hog!
That's not a leopard!

What about thebish's CB 750, or whatever it is that he has? Does that not get a mention? :conf:

Tricky bastard that Pope is sneaking in a subtle dig at Islam.
