you're a bit ahead of their time Nev, they haven't come full circle yet, but they seem like thinking men so there's a chance you'll meet in the end :)

Matt, I have a bit of a struggle with the details of those blokes, but the poem looks good. ;) :)

I believe Bob Dylan ( Robert Zimmerman ) adopted the name Dylan in honour of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, so there's something going for them. :D

Well Marty, Manfred will be strung out or incarcerated if he doesn't correct his spelling :lol:

Google is your friend Neville - the clues are in the poem. Matt would be good at creating cryptic crosswords I reckon.

Vodka will do that to your spelling Neville. :lol:

G/day Matt,
I'll keep away from the mind games mate,
but very well constructed as usual.

Cheers Terry

g'day Terry, thanks for stopping by mate.....believe me, there are no mind games afoot :? i didn't even think it was cryptic, just a quilt made out of heroes really....spose i'd better find some less obscure heroes...the Don, the Breaker, Pharlap and God....that's got a ring to it ; off to find a quote srtaight from the horses mouth :) .
hope the gold finds you mate, take care
