Nancy Astor never said a truer word than this âŠ"In passing, also, I would like to say that the first time Adam had a chance he laid the blame on a woman.â
A foolish man was Adam, he should have known that women are never to blame for anything, and kept his mouth shut if he wanted a peaceful life, and peace is very important when youâre the only two people on the planet, the alternative being instant extinction of the human race.
Women have always been in charge of things here on earth, controlling the powerful and the ordinary man individually from behind the scenes, but others more openly. Many ancient civilisations had powerful female rulers, Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are just two of the old rulers, we have Merkel today and Thatcher not so long ago.
I wonder if Dave Clarkâs wife got him a new drill for Christmas would he love her to bits, and if he got her a book on astronomy would she love him to Pisces?
And I wonder too about the Italian Chiropodist who went bankrupt, when interviewed he said he wouldnât accept defeat, heâs still broke.

Very impressive list there RJ. I love that title âBaroness Thumpingâemâ, a hard woman for any man to live with Iâm sure, didnât know there was such a person until I looked it up, but then I know nothing of politics and Iâm by far the happier man for it.;-):-),
How are yeh Pug, well I hope.
I believe this is what happened on that fateful day.
Beneath the sprawling Apple tree
Lay Eve one Friday night
When Adam come out to have a pee
He got a terrible fright
His wife was embracing a large green snake
And he tried hard to free her
But in his hurry he stood on a rake
And his head was all a blur
When he awoke he looked to see what was about
The snake was not around, it had vanished
But Eve stood there with an Apple in her mouth
And then the pair of them were banished. (Mars Barr)
now just a cotton pickin minute to you too! - there were lots of apples on the tree it was the tree of plenty of knowledge - in fact too much monkey business !!
but his worship the God Head said " you can eat anything in the garden but not the fruit from the tree of knowledge"
there was nothing about it being an apple tree!!
and it was a test - the first two super robots had been made and as soon as switched on failed - itâs Gods fault really he messed up the wiring and the species had been goin down hill ever since - and I think the gabriel man just said âlets leave them for now they will self -obliterate soonâ
Adam the first man in the biblical and Koranic tradition was good for something though. Adams Ale which alludes to the simplicity and purity of life in the biblical Eden before the fall.
Once he fell we all know what he did with the water.
We all know what WC Fields said about water, âI never drink the stuff, fish crap in itâ
You have to hand it to Adam and Eve itâs tough being the first, I know coming from a family of four boys and one girl. Although not being the eldest I was the first to go to work, the first to go with a girl, the first to marry and be a father and then a grandfather. I was also the first to be in Hospital and have an operation, the first to learn to swim and ride a bike, the first to get a black eye, and many many more firsts in our family. So spare a thought for those who have to go first, they should be allowed their little mistakes.
I gotta raise my hat to yerz,Jem.
I once tried swimming while riding a bike-sânot easy!
[unintentionally,by the way. It was 11.30pm. Some PRUNE had removed the chain from across the cycle path. So there was 14y/o me,giving it whizz,knees a blur as I gave it the biggunâŠand the fâkinâ cycle-bridge had a massive section missing! Which didnât show in the dark. Yâcan guess the rest.]
Thatâs some bike Solo, I hope for the sonâs sake Daddy doesnât suffer from flatulence.
The bike I learned to ride on was a mans bike and I had to put me little leg under the crossbar and through to the pedal on the other side as I couldnât reach the pedals if I sat on the saddle, very awkward but all the kids did it that way on the fathers or big brothers bikes. I remember when the wife was 12 she got a bike called the Pink Witch for Christmas, she offered me a go on it but it was bright pink and no boy in his right mind would be seen dead on it.
There is a woman friend of the wife and every time she visits us she drives me potty talking about her âDream houseâ and all she has in it and what her plans are for her âDream Gardenâ next year, I canât escape her because if she sees me heading for me coat sheâll say âNow now Jimmy, your not sneaking off on me again are you?â Christ if ever a man suffered. To my mind a âDream Houseâ is where folks with senile dementia go to spent the rest of their days in peace, sort of like âHappy Acres Rest homeâ
Come along to my house, itâs full of nice things
Persian carpets and gold curtain rings
Mahogany gas pipes and marble baths
Diamond dogs and platinum cats
We are loaded, have more money than brains
And take our two Rolls into the house when it rains
The two boys play Polo in the big front room
Twins, conceived in my golden womb.
