You should have walked along the coast a bit further, perhaps to Bexhill, there you can gaze out to sea for nothing.  It's the same at Hastings.  That really is a scandal that Brighton charges a fee to look at the sea.

Fred also has a view on that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVYxekAaFRU

Frenchie, James Blunt's possessions wouldn't be on the beach for 5 minutes before being re-cycled by some thoughtful scallywag.  In fact if you have to change a flat tyre in that area it won't be long before somebody comes along and says, "You have the wheels and I'll have the seats!"[blink]

I don't think anyone but me on this thread likes this sort of music, but just in case....

Does such love still exist?? [blink]

Translation from the French lyrics from the 12th century               

  If the gentle maiden,
The most gracious and beautiful,
She, with whom I am in love,
Desires only to make me happy,
Should I not grant her wish?

Certainly yes -- for she is the one
Who calls me her sweet love --
I could not be happier!

Pleasure renews itself in me.
I desire no other lover but her —
To serve her everywhere
Within my power,
For good or better,
That is my wish               

French lyrics , from the time

Quant la doulce jouvencelle,
La tres gracieuse et belle,
Celle dont suy amoureux
Veult que me tiengne joyeux,
Ne doy je obeir a elle?

Certes ouy, car c'est celle,
Qui son doulx amy m'apelle;
Estre ne puis plus joyeux.

Plaisir en moy renouvelle,
N'autre amer je ne quier qu'elle,
Servir la vueil en tous lieux,
A mon pouvoir,
De bien en mieulx,
Ma volonte si est telle.
