Yes it was time. Socrates, was brought
back to his ancestors in Ireland from Africa, but now one of us has to go because
of our many differences in opinion so it might as well be him; not to mention he has an eye for a local
girl which is anywhere in Connemara.
Socrates and I had set up together what at least promised to be a good partnership, but like many a similar loose arrangement this ship was never meant to sail. Our blog was there and still is to
promote positive life actions through positive means, but alas this Silverback also
believed that he is the only Gorilla in the world that knows nothing and wants
to know what you don't, and he makes me sick with his favourite saying
"Every cloud has a silver backed lining." Too much going in his head
I'd say and too damn opinionated and so he has to go.
On the plus side: He has a good pedigree, 98.6
% human, and is all testosterone, blood, and muscle but includes that rather
narcissistic opinion. Standing at six feet tall and weighing an impressive 350
pounds or 25 stone, he can drive a nail through wood with his fist and can lay
blocks all day long. He can also be belligerent if he thinks you do not afford him the respect he thinks he deserves. In a case like that, it is wise
to make your exit from his presence as quiet and as smoothly as possible.
He likes a pint and can sing a song
or two, albeit a little off key, when pressed. His favourite song to sing is
'Always look on the bright side of life.' There is also a couple of acres of
land coming to him by a long lost uncle in Kerry.
I will miss him of course;
well........sort of, and you can check out his more of his profile here. If I can't sell him then I will have to carry on and find something around here for him to do, like write a blog or two himself. It just might be interesting.
It was attempted to sell him on DoneDeal but after 2500 views in just over a day, Socrates was thrown off the site and not even one offer. The Buy and sell website went the same way but not as far. Yet, no reasonable offer will be refused above
€100, and if no offer is forthcoming, he will be free to a good home or one that needs to be.
PN: He was unfortunately born illegitimate and has the low
morals of an alley cat, but means what he says and says what he means. He doesn't like to wear a Sunday suit and for the rest of the week he likes to go around completely butt naked.
