"Hello Stranger" is the updated, newest, koolest version ~ it seems for some reason that it also has a blush of romantic implication to it [of course, not as I used it here

!] ~ someone you haven't seen for a long time, but are very obviously glad to, but keeping it on the more playful, kool side

Dear Pete, and anyone else who can count,
As far as I'm aware, there has been no direct reply to your post: what a shame!
It's so simple: in 30 years time, Leonard will/would be 100, a square number. The prior square to 100 is 81, so in 30 years time Pete will be 81.
Ergo, he is 51.
On the other hand, and on the other side, the square next to 100 is 121, meaning that in 30 years time Pete would be 121, i.e. he is 81 years old at present.
I know that Pete comes across as a well-informed chap: if you're 81, take that as a compliment

Andrew.

P.S. Having met the aforementioned Pete, I'd say he verges on the 51 side, almost.

Whoops!
Pete would be 91, not 81, " on the other side" (sic).
I rest my case: he tilts to the early 50's as opposed to the early 90's.
Andrew, almost confused by numbers

Dear Margaret,
Look, it's getting late ; way past my bedtime. So don't try on your Miss Jean Brodie attitude with me, right now, at this precise moment in time, as it were, so as to speak, if you know what I mean, get my drift?
Andrew.

P.S. I'm very good in bed: oh yes, the last time I wet the bed was 1956. Since then, I've been brilliant, and have been mentioned in dispatches for my feats. That's 48 years! Must go now, if I could remember where....

You're trying to get to bed ~ I'm trying to take a bath! People just keep posting, and I keep trying to catch up before I shut down! I wish some of you would get to bed ~ isn't it past your bedtime, anyway, in that part of the world

!?! At this rate, I'll be sitting here till midnight, and it's only 8:01 PM

Pete could have had Botox Andrew. Did you see him in the cold light of day? I have been concerned about his mental state for a while now

Andrew McGeever · Post by **Andrew McGeever** » Sat Sep 25, 2004 12:22 pm

Dear Paula,
Yes, I've seen Pete "in the cold light of day". Stick a guitar in his hands and he comes across all intense,focussed and Cohenesque. Almost impressive, actually!
Re his mental state, I wouldn't worry: just because he loves numbers of the irrational variety doen't make him, or me, a nutter

Andrew.

Hi Jemima ~

Mercedes is also a very expensive car here. Jemima here rings of Aunt Jemima pancakes and syrup. Her [Aunt Jemima's] image on the food items is a very happy, rotund, black woman.....and, I think, she's wearing a gingham [red and white?] apron, and maybe a white, cotton[?] scarf on her head. Not sure on those details. At any rate, her name has a nourishing [reminiscent of the black nannies from years back] and 'comfort food' effect. Eighteen, eh? That's great

! We'll lead you to Hydra; we'll lead you to Berlin

I just drop in to this thread and see my good name being smirched..... mental health? botox? irrational?

Now I'm all of a dither.. I don't know if I'm 81, 51, 121, 91 or even 21

Yours agedly
Pete

My age is 29.

I've been a fan since the age of 17.

One thing that has become increasingly clear over the years,

is that Leonard Cohen's appeal is timeless and ageless.
