Re: It's Time
On a speeding train two strangers got into conversation and one boasted that he could count the number of cows in a field as the train went by, so the other guy remembered that they would shortly pass a field owned by a close friend of his and he knew how many cows he had, so he decided to test the ...

Re: Greatest Influence On Children
On the subject of influence on children, as one of the more senior contributors here I feel I have something to add. From our 4 grown-up children we have been presented with 9 grandchildren. These have now in turn begun to bring their own children into this world and to date we have 3 great-grandchi...

Re: Musical instruments and mental health
That cake looks like a birthday cake for Liberace. I defy anyone take a knife to it and cut into it!
Btw., In order to deliver any sort of credible performance on an instrument, the very last thing you need is to swig that whiskey.

Re: Musical instruments and mental health
Having been thrown onto the retirement scrapheap last year I now find I have more time to engage in musical pursuits. Since my 7th birthday I have played piano almost daily. Requiring one to read both base and treble clefs for both hands it is a very demanding engaging and fulfilling instrument to g...

Re: Finally - Too Tired
Uncle Al, Funny, I thought WASP was for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.....like the Boston Tea party protagonists. SkD, You mentioned tiredness and a while ago I suggested you mend your garden seat, broken in one of your pics. I attach a pic of something similar, which at the suggestion of MOH I knock...

Re: Finally - Too Tired
The rugby club normally using the Twickenham ground is called 'Wasps'. Not long ago they lost to Saracens in an inter-club game and when interviewed about this unexpected defeat, their coach said that they had only fielded their 'B' team. Fact is, I hate honey and therefore would have no incentive t...
Re: back pain
Most tall people get lumbar pain sooner or later. I can precis my personal journey there and back: Young blood, mid 20 training for serious competitive rowing. Time: the 60s and no rail-guided weights in gyms then, just free weights, barbells, dumbbells &c. In club competition got to standing un...

Re: Here we go - AGAIN !
It's also true that Moses was the son of Pharaoh's daughter. It can equally truly be stated that Moses was the daughter-of-Pharaoh's son.
So There.

Re: A beautiful skirt
Even at 4AM in the morning, 19.7 X 2 equals something like 39.4 which is about a meter. Not slim/thin. Looks elastic though and would hold up well around a 34-36 inch waist. Looks like it's about 22" to the hem also, which is modest enough. Scarlet O'Hara from 'Gone with the Wind' had a 17"...

Re: Not a Joke
Not a joke indeed and that husband is seriously low down on the I.Q. front. All public buildings have wheelchair access and the better ones now have sensor-operated opening doors, too.

Pour the room temperature jello into a little transparent plastic bag, seal it and then nail the bag to the wall.

Re: Heavy feet.....
I agree, Downhill ski-boots probably top the weight scale. With advancing years and the proliferation of uncontrolled ski-boarders on the slopes, MOH and I invested in cross-country skis and boots. These boots, while robust and stiff, are considerably lighter than their downhill counterpart, are att...

St Patrick's Day Greeting
One of our involuntary exports, although the guy himself was Welsh. This year it coincided with the Christian Sabbath and the gathering at our local Church was a lot less dense than the crush (to be avoided) at the parade in beautiful downtown Newbridge. Weather cool, breezy and showery. No surprise...

Re: Partners
As a life-long rower I have grown used to not 'rocking the boat'... on the 'partner' front. My situation is that although I actually did my skirting well away from MOH, she found 'evidence' in the form of skirts &c left where she could find and dispose of them as she strongly disapproved. This h...

Re: Sir Garyson Perry is "just a man who likes to wear dresses"
Sir Grayson has become a respected authority on art in the UK. Only a couple of years ago the BBC commissioned him to deliver the Reith Lecture series on Radio 4 on the subject of Art.
His audience were only interested in what he had to say on the subject, not in what clothes he wore.
