Obviously it wouldn't be appropriate to cavort unceasingly through life, but some cavorting bouts lasted for years... others for mere minutes. Sometimes I cavorted in public... other times only within the confines of my own imagination. I cavorted with friends and family. I cavorted at work. I cavorted with lovers. On occasion, I cavorted with complete strangers ;-). Tue, 25 Oct 2011 17:25:40 GMT http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/posts/317399/ I saw Ralph McTell live recently. I can't claim to be some longtime dedicated fan. I don't even own any of his albums. I just saw the gig listed and took myself along on a whim.

I don't have an iPod, my mobile phone sends texts and makes calls - end of, and I still have one of these mounted on my kitchen wall. You may mock - but when there's a power cut and all you smug, techie, early-adopter types are cut off from civilisation 'cause your DECT phones have died - guess who'll be sitting pretty and dialling in her order to the nice pizza delivery man - hmmm?
