"As my poor father used to say
in 1863,
Once people start on all this Art
Goodbye Moralitee!
And what my father used to say
Is good enough for me."

-- Sir A.P. Herbert(Lines for a Worthy Person)
[Homage to A.T. on his Birthday]

My grandfather was a cobbler who spoke nothing but thick Brummie ...

My father was a thick Brummie who spoke nothing but cobblers ...

Actually, it's not true, but I don't like to let facts get in the way of a good gag.

Steve

P.S. By the way, how old is the old chap?

In looking at your typo Kat, I'm trying to figure if that is sentiment or sediment...........considering the uh, poem...I'm opting for sediment. Perhaps you need a sedative or a sedagive. Whatever...Get the broom.

Hmmm....

My grandfather was a violinist and a classic music purist, and the most he ever said to me was: "Get the hell out of here, I'm trying to practice!"

When I was born so long ago,
Mama showed me the gate,
And I kept gettin' bigger
'Til now I'm 58.

Thanks folks,
