Well, I didn't know about the rugby or the boxing or the professorship.* I once met his cousin who told me he had been disowned by his father and really lived through much of the stuff he wrote about in MABM. Said cousing was later caught up with by Interpol and is currently serving somewhere at someone's pleasure for multiple fraud in multiple countries so I don't know what to believe (he married my girlfriend's sister of the time). * so one karma point to you! interesting...well, dodgy as said cousin might be, from what I've heard previously, that is the case...he's had one helluva life to go with the gravelly voice. wha thankee sur!

A pedant asks........ She was a temporary/transient sister (one of a changing cast?) of your girlfriend ? Or was the girlfriend merely a fleeting one who had a sister?

(he married my girlfriend's sister of the time). A pedant asks........ She was a temporary/transient sister (one of a changing cast?) of your girlfriend ? Or was the girlfriend merely a fleeting one who had a sister? I wondered who would be the first to ask! I even added a sentence to help clear up the confusion, but that made too many sub-clauses and bracketed phrases. Do you need an answer? Actually, she was a long term girl friend all through university and I did know the guy quite well. He always appeared to us to be a bit shady and we tried to persuade sister not to go ahead. We also attended the wedding with none of his family present, suspicioulsy.

The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The ploughman homeward plods his weary way, And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
Now fades the glimmering landscape on the sight, And all the air a solemn stillness holds, Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight, And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds:
Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower The moping owl does to the moon complain Of such as, wandering near her secret bower, Molest her ancient solitary reign.
Beneath those rugged elms, that yew-tree's shade, Where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap, Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, The rude Forefathers of the hamlet sleep.
A truly wonderful poem but a bit long to quote all of it. Thanks for reminding me of it ...

How come some times you can smite/exalt and sometimes you can't?
