[Railway lines in England and Wales] This is a LIST OF RAILWAY LINES IN GREAT BRITAIN that are currently in operation, split by country and region.

There are a limited number of main inter-regional lines, with all but one entering Greater London.[1] The line from London to the Channel Tunnel is the only line designated 'high speed', although the other main routes also operate limited-stop express services.

The bulk of the secondary network is concentrated in London and the surrounding East and South East regions; an area marketed by National Rail as _London and the South East_. The majority of these lines are radial to London.[2] There is a further concentration of routes around Birmingham in the West Midlands[3] and in the urbanised part of northern England that stretches from Liverpool in the west, via Greater Manchester to Leeds in the east.[4]

Some areas, such as Wales and Scotland, have relatively sparse railway provision.[5] There are local lines throughout all areas of Great Britain with some services designated as community railways.

Does the data express joy or sorrow? Throwwwwaway29/Reddit
We are all data hounds now.

Technology has made it an essential part of the human condition that we look at the numbers and there see the truth.

It must be, therefore, that a husband who was unhappy with the paucity of sex in his life was merely being human in sending his wife a spreadsheet. At least this is what she claimed on Reddit.

Using the nomenclature throwwwwaway29, she spread the spreadsheet out for the world to see. Its sheer normality might make it a deeply disturbing document for some.

Accompanying the post, the wife offeredthis explanation: "Yesterday morning, while in a taxi on the way to the airport, Husband sends a message to my work email which is connected to my phone. He's never done this, we always communicate in person or by text. I open it up, and it's a sarcastic diatribe basically saying he won't miss me for the 10 days I'm gone."

The spreadsheet offered mostly quotes of her alleged denial of conjugal congress.

On several instances, the wife allegedly felt "gross" and sometimes "sweaty." Excess eating was blamed a couple of times. Tiredness and, of course, the urgent need to watch a show reared their pretty heads.

Many might feel this offers a realistic portrayal of married life's tribulations. It might also offer a depiction of a marriage in freefall.

But, having never been married, I am a person of much sunnier disposition. I seek the joy in the data, even if it only seems to scream despair.

So I look at this spreadsheet and see hope in the vacuum. There are three instances in which carnal bliss was achieved. The spreadsheet offers extreme imbalance by not presenting any quotes that might have embroidered those three occasions.

Perhaps the wife mused: "Oh, darling. Your goitre is pointing east. This is a sign. Kiss me."

She might also have whispered: "My sweet, your nasal hair is peculiarly under control today. Let's celebrate."

And what if she had, on June 27, looked him in the eyes and said: "You've lost weight. Put on my dress."?

The problem with love, and with so many other joys, is that we expect too much of it.

What's important about this data isn't the long list of alleged denials. It's the three instances when passion won out.

Without that information, this spreadsheet, like so many others, is essentially useless.

question: What is the main desire behind this modern data hounding?

answer: The desire to seek the truth and be right.

“LITTLE DARLIN'” is a popular Top 40 song, made famous by the Diamonds.[1]

The Gladiolas' version

It was written by Maurice Williams with both melody and doo-wop accompaniment strongly emphasizing the clave rhythm. It was first recorded by Excello Records in January 1957 and quickly released as a rhythm-and-blues song by Williams' R&B group, the Gladiolas. The song is noted for its spoken recitation by the lead singer (“My Darlin' I need you...”). The Gladiolas, featuring Williams, were from Lancaster, South Carolina, where they had been together since high school. Their original version of the song was on the small Excello label. (Excello primarily recording “swamp blues” songs in Crowley, Louisiana.) The Gladiolas song peaked at No. 11 on the R&B charts in April 1957, but barely dented the hot 100. By 1959, Williams' group became “Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs” with the rock 'n roll-R&B hit “Stay.”

The Gladiolas' version was included in Robert Christgau's “Basic Record Library” of 1950s and 1960s recordings, published in _Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies_ (1981).[2]

The Diamonds' version

The Diamonds' successful cover version followed a month later.[3] The Diamonds were a Canadian pop group that evolved into a doo-wop group. The Diamonds' version reached number two in sales for eight weeks on the _Billboard_ Hot 100. _Billboard_ ranked this version as the No. 3 song for 1957.

The Diamonds' version is generally considered superior. Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine argues that the Diamonds Little Darlin' is an unusual example of a cover being better than the original:

  [T]he Diamonds' take remained the bigger hit, and over the years, the better-known version. Normally, this would have been an outrage, but there's a reason why the Diamonds' version has sustained its popularity over the years: it's a better, fiercer recording. Both versions are good, even if they're a little silly, because it's a good doo wop song, giving each member of the quartet a lot to do. At times, the vocal phrases verge on self-parody -- the “ai-ya-yi-yai-yai-ya”'s or the “wella-wella”'s -- which may be why The Diamonds' version is superior.[4]

On the Pop Chronicles, host John Gilliland claimed that their version was in fact a parody of the genre.[5] Nonetheless, Little Darlin' (primarily the Diamonds' version, but to some extent the Gladiolas' version) remains an all-time rock 'n roll R&B classic.[6]

Other recordings

-   Elvis Presley performed the song and a version appears on his final album, _Moody Blue_ (1977).
-   Rock-and-roll-revival group Sha Na Na performed “Little Darlin'” at the Woodstock Festival in 1969.
-   The Four Seasons
-   The Monkees performed a live version on their 1969 TV special _33⅓ Revolutions Per Monkee_.
-   Joan Baez performed a parody version in concert in the early 1960s which appears on the 1983 compilation _Very Early Joan_. The title song of her album _Honest Lullaby_ (1979) quotes the vocal hook of “Little Darlin'”.
-   Classics IV
-   The Rocky Fellers
-   The Chevrons
-   Victor Wood(1971)

In popular culture

-   The recording by The Diamonds is featured on the soundtrack of the 1973 film _American Graffiti_.
-   The song is performed by Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman in the 1987 film _Ishtar_.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson sounded off on mass immigration Monday, saying that there is currently “total division within our society.”

WATCH:

The Daily Caller co-founder said, “So we are at a moment and every survey shows it, of total division in our society. People have less in common with each than they ever have. And we’re asking basic questions like ‘What ties us all together? Why are we all in this together?'”

“Do you not see any correlation between massive immigration since 1965 and where we are now? The country much less united, much less willing to [ask] basic questions like ‘is the Bill of Rights worth continuing?’ things like that. That’s not related to immigration? Of course it is.”

Juan Williams also appeared on the segment, pushing back against some of Tucker’s claims, saying that the key was “assimilation.”

 “Do you share American values? Do you believe in God-given rights and democracy and representation and law and order? That’s the key. And but it’s not about, at this point, a sort of tribal fight between native born americans and immigrants,” Williams said.

I've always wanted critical feedback on a piece I happened to write, what do you guys think?

The pungent stench of stale sweat, poorly disguised by the cheap cologne, tainted the office to the point where I could almost taste it. Just like I could almost taste her fear, distress, hope and confusion. “Never expected this hmm baby?” I whispered seductively. “Like I never expected you to humiliate me on national television?” I continued as my tone immediately transformed to one of disgust. Pinned to the wall by my sturdy arms, her body tensed as I watched emotions flash in her eyes, hopelessly attempting to discern my weakness. Her instinctual reaction, as most girls her age, was to use her body. Desperately she pushed up against me, as her hand gently ruffled my hair and slowly trailed down my neck. “It doesn’t have to be this way. I still love you” she declared faintly as her lips brushed the spot her fingers just left. Her eyes locked mine in, her soft brown eyes, as she stood on her toes to reach my lips. Some girls think the moment of anticipation right before the kiss is the way to entice a guy, but she knows better. Her lips tenderly grazed mine, and then she pulled back, luring me in. I was far beyond the influence of my self control. Sensing her victory, she launched herself at me, full on. I casually withdrew and smiled. I recognized these moves, but enjoyed them nonetheless. “You’re going to have to do much better than clichéd apologies. Haven’t you heard, seduction leads to destruction. And that’s what’s coming for you,” I threatened, with my most irresistible voice; I found that it gave the threat a chilling effect.
I forcefully pinned her back against the wall, chuckled for the sole purpose of infuriating her, and then began explaining how she would transfer all her property, money, and valuables to under my name without arousing suspicion.

title: wrote this a while ago- feedback really appreciated!!

question: How does the narrator use seduction in an unusual way?

answer: Seduction isn't usually used to manipulate the woman into giving him all her properties.

He stood there and watched as the Senior Portman guided his boat towards the sand. He was a proud captain, only three contracts ever signed, but he was well respected for his actions. Three contracts, two of them kind of rushed into but the last one at least had a happier ending. One went on for far too long, it ended officially but then continued on through the black market for some time after that, his only real mistake. What he was doing right now was fulfilling his philosophy, if you aren't going to sign a contract, get your ship out of port. He had signed a contract with The Fleet, which was going to make it hard to have any personal contracts. While it was possible to have personal contracts while in The Fleet, in the end The Fleet's contract took priority. His ship was finally lodged firmly into the sand, he departed to the party he was invited to.

The party was a family get together, he just happened to be good friends with them. It was nice for him to be around some permanent contracts, it gave him hope for the future. There was another captain and a contract creator who seemed to be thinking about negotiations, they spent most of the time enjoying the conversation of the other. He was happy when he could see friends move closer to happiness.

Then there was the contract creator who talked to him. Not totally with words, actions silenced those out. He questioned if he was reading them right. The party ended and he departed, his mind never leaving the contract creator. He had been lonely since the end of his last contract. Yet in loneliness he had found some comfort. Freedom, room to breathe, but still no true clarity of mind. He arrived home, asked the contract creator of their intentions, and went to sleep.

He awoke to a disguise, a misdirection, but he had clarity on this morning. He questioned the amount of time the contract creator had thought about trying to enter negotiations. Answer, since they had first arrived in this port, but he had been in another contract at the time, and so not wanting to use the black market, they pursued other interests. Honesty and purity were highly respectable attributes in his book, and so he continued. The last contract that the creator made ended abruptly, why? Simple, the captain failed their end of the contract in the communication section. He understood, many captains struggled there, he tried to make that section as streamlined as possible. Final question, did the know about The Fleet contract. They did indeed, reason two for pursuing other options.

He had lost all of the clarity he had before, logic dictated to dismiss it, loneliness dictated other wise. He would walk a very thin line the next few days, no more rushing into any contracts. Illogical, improbable, but it would be a trial by fire, none the less.

title: Ship in the sand

question: What is the party?

answer: It is a family get together.

question: Why is the narrator happy?

answer: Because their friends are getting along.

question: What do people discuss at the party?

answer: Contracts.

question: What does the narrator decide after the party?

answer: Not to discuss contracts anymore.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator docks his ship in the port and then goes to a party with some contacts of his. There is a lot of discussion of contracts but the lack of trust on the part of some makes the narrator less likely to want to sign contracts in the future.
