I agree Spitty. The days of the old philosophers are gone.
Today the world is full of all sorts of modern philosophers who spout a load of testicology, Google-wise geezers young and old, quoters, copy and pasters, general smart arses, and just plain wasters.
They are everywhere you go, my local is bursting at the sides with them. There are more now than ever before since Google arrived, experts in everything are coming out of the woodwork, yes my friends, Google has become the new Oracle, today if Google says it’s true that’s it, it must be true.
Even our good Chinese friends today no longer quote Confucius, they quote Google instead, gone are the days of the wise old bearded geezer sat with his legs crossed dishing out his advice from the top of a mountain, these days your more likely to see someone on top of a mountain holding a smart phone up to the Google God trying to get a signal so they connect to the almighty search machine.
A recent Chinese example from my Chinese friend Jimmy Wang; “Google say “Woman flying aeroplane upside down, heading for honourable crackup”;-)
confucius say " wish I’d never got this name - it used to be wise but now it’s just morecombe!"
Methinks that Confucius fella said more than his prayers, as the man says.;-)
How do they know what these famous heads said? was there someone following them everywhere with a notebook and pen?
yes they called it cali…calig…caligr…Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
Columbo.
I thought he said the world was fat.
Are you thinking Columbus? Did he have a note Pad?
A flat cap?
Yes Columbus you got it flat.
I live in a flat, I have a nice pad.
Bet he had an Ipad, you never know.
Nelson lost his.
yep but then he got an I patch?
Maybe a cabbage patch.
Good Night Possums.x
My mates and me were always making stuff on the Estate, I remember one lad got an old wheelchair, cut the two small wheels off the front, bolted a long metal rod under the seat with bicycle handlebars at the front. He used to charge 5p to be transported around the block in it.
I often wonder what became of Rick Shaw.
Good Morning Possums.

Ah young Spitty.
Why do men rush around trying to fix things?
