Having more money doesn't make you happier. I have 50 million dollars
but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 million.

The second poem here is my favorite one of his:

I just spent 2 hours on youtube watching various Les Barker & Keith Donnelly clips - that was baby's nap time enjoyed but wasted!Fjgrogan wrote:Les Barker is a great favourite of Maria's - particularly 'Have you got any news of the iceberg?' which I have on tape. I wonder if CH spawns a particular taste in humour?

Detritus is my favourite...
"Go placidly amid the noise and haste;
And remember what peace there may be in silence.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead.
Do not walk in front, for I may not follow.
Go over there somewhere
.... etc...
it includes such sage advice as...
"Remember, if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. Teach him to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink himself stupid"
and
"Bear in mind that depression is anger without enthusiasm and good health is merely the slowest way to die."
and finally
"...never hit a man with glasses; always use something larger and heavier."

Re: Interesting or funny links
Not a link, but not a joke either. Rather clever
Brain Teaser
I could not figure it out and had to look at the answer..
See if you can figure out what these words have in common. Without peeking!!
1. Banana
2. Dresser
3. Grammar
4. Potato
5. Revive
6. Uneven
7. Assess
Are you peeking or have you already given up? Give it another try....
Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer. This is so cool.....
Answer: No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters....
Answer: In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. Did you figure it out? No? Then send to more people and stump them as well. Then, you'll feel better too.

For the gourmets and gourmands amongst you may I refer you to
http://www.aftouch-cuisine.com/recipe/l ... ne-778.htm
Of course you might just wish to prepare this dish for your friends, but before doing so and getting clogged with emotion, there is one necessary item to purchase; read the advert bottom right of the recipe.

Flattery? By accident I discovered another chforum which is dedicated to heroes. No doubt if he reads it Paul Wade (Fantle) (Col A late 1950's / early 1960's) could translate
