Gwendolyn Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Tracker - 2016-04-30 4:02 PM Gwendolyn - 2016-04-28 7:58 PM And Timothy West was in turn, quoting Bernard Levin, quoting Shakespeare. As someone who spends a great deal of time every year sitting in H65 in the stalls or A60 in the circle, in the RST, [yes, probably a Bardolater], I agree wholeheartedly with what you say. I bow to your superior knowledge Gwen and as a mere pleb I'm not a theatre goer, but I still admire and respect the Bard's wit - rightly or wrongly! Live long and prosper - is that one of his too!! Star Trek isn't it????? One of my favourite bits, 'cos it's so apt is: "I wasted time, now doth time waste me". And two comforting ones.... When I'm having a bad day: "The time and the hour runs through the roughest day". And when someone has done me, or mine, a bad turn: "The whirligig of time brings in his revenges". BTW... what's all that a few posts up about education breeding liars???? I am perplexed. OOPS, sorry, posts crossed. I type very slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Gwendolyn - 2016-04-30 4:38 PM BTW... what's all that a few posts up about education breeding liars???? I am perplexed. Did I say that? Sorry, couldn't locate where I said it? If for one without an education the past is maybe called folk lore or tradition what is it called with an education? Spin? Manipulation? Exploitation? Media frenzy / hype? Chance to make money - or gain power over others? And is there a difference at the end of the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwendolyn Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Wasn't referring to you Tracker, but as someone else has pointed out, to Will. But when I was composing my reply to you I couldn't recall the name of the poster who made that puzzling assertion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archiesgrandad Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 When confronted by those who would seek to impress us with their intellectual achievements I recall a cartoon in Punch magazine in the '70s. It depicted two tramps settling down for the night on a park bench. One was obviously trying to wrap himself up in a copy of the Times, and the other in the Daily Mirror. The 'Mirror man, seeing that his Times companion had much many more and bigger sheets of paper with which to protect himself from the cold, asked " If you're so clever, why aren't you rich?

Tracker Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Crikey AGD, you had newspaper - such luxury? Newspaper were reserved for chips back in my day but if you were lucky you could find some used newspaper and recycle it (long before recycle were a fashion accessory) and best of all t'fat on t'paper kept t'rain off yer chilly bits!

Will86 Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Chips!! Our luxury was bread and dripping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiesgrandad Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 We didn't have dripping very often because we couldn't afford the beef joints. I have nasty memories of bread and lard, with a sprinkle of sugar to make it a bit more acceptable for the children. AGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeco Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 We were tamed by the Shrew at school with vegemite sandwiches. Ok if you were in need of a vitamin B fix, but not too tasty after they had been sitting in the sun for a couple of hours. Sugar coated lard sounds delicious by comparison!

Archiesgrandad Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I can see that we are moving downhill fast. Any time now we will have the one about when it was cold my Dad used to suck a Fishermans Friend and breathe on us to keep us warm. Soon after that it will be the one about being so poor that on Christmas Eve my Mum would tear a hole in my trouser pocket so that I had something to play with on Christmas Day. Those were the days.
