It has occurred to me that this blog has started to deviate into serious issues instead of silliness. So here is an attempt to address this slip....


Archeologists have recently found a number of letters from various historical figures and they have been reproduced for you dear reader:

Saul from Damascus - Having a blinding time, long letter to follow.

Jane Austen to her mum - The publishers love Pride and Prejudice but say that all the sex and violence has to go!

Florence Nightingale - Dear Matron, it is all a big mistake, in my letter I said I wanted to go to the cinema

Beethoven to his agent - Regarding my next commission, Have you heard anything?

Kipling in India - Weather exceedingly good, beaches exceedingly good, night life exceedingly good, cake rubbish!

George Stephenson on the Rocket on its inaugural run - I'm on the train, talk to you later

Other silly stuff:

There are a number of songs around and again whilst sifting through various artifacts the following alternative lyrics to some songs have been discovered:

I am Henry VIII, I am
I'm Henry VIII I am, I am
Of course you are sir
Now blow into this please

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah we wept when we remembered
That wrong turn we took at Peterbrough

How many ameboa's does it take to change a light bulb?
one, no two, no four, no eight.....

I have also been tagged so here are five things that, as convention states I must put down:
5 years ago
I was leading my first alpha group (Was it really that long ago?)
10 years ago
I was about to finish my first year at university
15 years ago
I was in the third year at secondary school
20 years ago
I cannot remember that far back
29 years ago
Was in the throng of spectators either at Brands Hatch or Silverstone watching the F1 stars of the day - apparently.

By the way, I know that my fetching orange overalls drew admiring comments from various people on aboutlife, so just wanted to say thank you...
