Accountant lore is obviously a very narrow and somewhat puritanical, not to say immature, way of thinking and feeling.

I remember Auberon Waugh saying the Rupert Murdoch was the man we should pity most for his utter impoverishment. Mr Murdoch owed his creditors about 300,000 billion pounds but nobody cared about it as long as he supervised the best sports channels.

Beater Joe was an unemployed snow-shoveller who helped out at the pheasant shoot every year for the odd day or so if the weather was to his satisfaction. His Wife Betty had two white rats which she allowed to run around the dining table during meals helping themselves from the various dishes and shitting on the starched tablecloth.

Clean-shaven men are very rare in Afghanistan. It seems a big shaggy beard is a sign of manhood, and the more manly, the more shaggy.

It behoves me to say "no thanks" spendius. Unfortunately your numberplate won't be recognised downunder.

Under 2% of people have specialised number plates in GB. I rather like K9GAL, howmuch are you asking for it, Spendius?

Ontario, from what I can gather, does not love dogs in the same way that we do in England so I wouldn't expect to get full value for this unique plate over there. I offered it to Joan Collins as I thought it was very appropriate to the image she was pushing at the time but she turned it down on the grounds that she doesn't drive and I haven't come across anyone since who I deem worthy of it and who has enough dough to afford it.

Museum(s) for motor vehicles are unique. The National Motor Museum, Birdwood, South Australia, is an international centre for the collection, research, preservation, education and display of Australian road transport history, the National Motor Museum is much more than a collection of vehicles, it is a social history of the way we were, the way we are now and the way of the future.

Future possibilities are things I don't know anything about. I just take whatever comes off the fan.

Fan or supporter is someone who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking of a sporting club, person, group of persons, company, product, work of art, idea, or trend. In a few cases, individual fans may become so obsessed with the objects of their infatuation that they engage in behaviours that are considered extreme or abnormal.

abnormal behaviour is not ALWAYS a sign of stupidity . and stupidity does not ALWAYS result in abnormal behaviour .

Behaviour of children is probably a guide to behaviour of adults. Or maybe not.

"Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note..." is a line from a book of poems I once had at school. I think the poem was entitled "The Burial of Sir John Moore at Corunna"
