Post by: Pottel on August 27, 2008, 03:01:14 PM

"WM - Great idea!  I'll keep that one in mind for when I'm in the Home for the Bewildered, still posting to you all and drooling over MK!"

I'll be there with you, Val....Shall we start planning for this eventuality? I can't imagine anything more fun than living in the "The Mark Knopfler Home for the Bewildered-ALL MK MUSIC, ALL THE TIME-Drooling Accepted (and entirely appropriate)"

That sounds terrific, Gayle!  I can see it now "THE AMIT HOME FOR THE BEWILDERED".    See you there in a decade or three!

The AMIT Home for DROOLING MK FANS will be open to everyone, regardless of gender (or sexual/political/cultural or agricultural orientation). Only requirements will be MK passion and heavy drooling (the latter will not be difficult to achieve at a certain age-whether or not it pertains to MK). We are a benevolent group.

Once again...MK music ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. That is the deal....

Strange, Ian, Tommy just explained to me last night what a Zimmerframe is. That's what I love about this place...you get to learn what things are called in other places!! (For those in the dark, a zimmerframe is what I have been lurching around on for the past couple of weeks...a walker!)  ;D

Ohhhh this is fantastic, WELCOME to this forum! When you are at that age, you are not old, but young at heart!  ;D You even use a computer, while some of my in-laws at the age of 60 don't know where to find the on-button!   ;D

Just like the others I am curious also to know when you started to become a fan of Mark! Welcome to our Knopfler family and I hope you have a good time reading and as much fun as some of the crazy people here have.   ;D
