Results is what spendius is looking for whether he gets it or not is another matter. From reading his statement I have the distinct feeling he is anti female.
Female deadlier that the male? What are we talking about here, the praying mantis or the preying Mrs Jones down the street?
Streetwise tips are necessary for some places around the world. I'm always looking for them.
Them there eyes. They are the windows to the soul.
Soul music was big in the seventies. I remember a good LP called King and Queen.
King and queen are bed sizes, can you believe it- why don't their majesties sleep together? Not that we're short of royal princes to ensure succession of our royal house in perpetuity.
Perpetuity of the recalcitrance of the female sex is about the only instance where the word can be used exactly. In legalese hardly anybody envisages much more than a few hundred years if that.
that sure is a mouthful spendius !
and speaking of sleeping in separate beds , one has to wonder : "how do their majesties do it ? " .
It is probable that they do it much the same as anyone else. After all, they don't have to wear crowns and carry orbs and sceptres in the bedroom.
Bedroom antics for the quality are facilitated by these humungous fourposter beds and thick brocade curtains I'm sure they all have. "Pull the curtains round, darling, I believe one wishes to cover you."
You know I remember Lady Hamilton or someone being so pleased to see her Nelson back home that she wrote in hr diary "He pleasured me in his topboots". No need for a fourposter, they were probably standing against the castle wall.
Wall-to-wall carpeting is a fairly modern invention. It was developed by an industrialist who became impatient of kneeling on hardwood flooring.
Flooring nowadays is a big lifestyle choice, and many people are importing stone from Italy or even China to enhance their period dwellings. I prefer carpets.
Carpets of flowers in the springtime! Who can forget their first sight of a bluebell wood, or of a host of golden daffodills?
Daffodils are everywhere just now and I long to stop and pick them, but presumably every clump has been planted by some careful houseowner who wants every bloom to be his own. Perhaps I'll have to buy some.
Some wise words about who you need to manage your retirement fund.The perfect fund manager would be a highly intelligent and financially astute Franciscan monk whose vows of poverty are beyond reproach or temptation.
Temptation is a strategy used on young men and very stupid mature ones. Lack of resistance to it costs a fortune unless you provide a false name and address.
address unknown is often read in police reports . i bet LORD conrad black wishes that his address were unknown :wink:
Unknown is Lord Conrad Black in this part of the world. Is he some type of 'conman' with a name like that?
That is an unnecessary remark to make about Lord Black who is a Peer of our Glorious Realm and the ex-owner of the Daily and Sunday Telegraphs and The Spectator, the respectability of which all is beyond reproach. It is not within the powers of such a man to resist the temptations of a Lady of the powers of Lady Black, a noble cause indeed for which many men have paid dearly, including His Lordship's great hero Napoleon, and whilst we all deplore that allegations of such gravity have been levelled against him we also ought to reserve some degree of sympathy if only from the last remnants of Christian charity now left to us in the age of plenty.
