‘“Well, do you know any sort of man,” he asked, “more stupid than people who just recite Homer from memory?”

“No, indeed,” answered Niceratus; “not I, I am sure.”

“No,” said Socrates; “and the reason is clear: they do not know the inner meaning of the poems.”’

Actually the whole thing reminded me of The Office - "He's thrown a kettle over a pub. What have you ever done?"

If Dan 'The Invisible Mayor-man' Jarvis is the answer, we are definitely not asking the right question.

Why he was foisted on us as our (solitary) elected mayoral candidate is beyond me. I wasn't that keen on Richard Caborn but at least he had the advantage of having done something memorable, regenerating the old Orgreave site and the sports stuff.

It's port.

Bad luck - you're sitting the wrong side of it so you'll have to wait until it's gone round the table...

Merry Christmas everyone.....hope you have a good day

So...presents all wrapped.
Both kids are no at home
Santa has dropped a bag of presents in for me to put on the tree (once my son has gone to bed)
I made some bread (manually as the machine broke a year ago)

...And I feel rubbish. Sore throat, cough, not really much of a cold but as I couldn't risk going swimming for fear of making matters worse, my back is now playing up. So tired...

On that cheery note, Happy Christmas one and all!

Which means that it has to come via me first.
Good luck with that!

When recalling the Iliad from his studies, Johnson hopefully reflected on this line:
“Hateful to me as the gates of Hades is that man who hides one thing in his heart and speaks another.”

Happy Christmas all. x

Seriously for those that celebrate,have a great celebration ;for those of us who view it as something to be endured let's have a chorus of Edvard Munchian screams until the bloody thing is over.

Just went out to pick up daughter’s knickers from her flat (don’t ask!) and got a puncture. Despite this and with thanks to the AA, we’ll have an excellent Christmas. Hope you all do too.

Booze has a lot to answer for.I didn't know AA had expanded to being available to drunk cars.

I've just begun watching "The Amazing Mr Blunden". It's a Lionel Jeffries directorial effort. Quite taken with it so far - costumes, snow, ghosts (to come) etc. Railway Children-ish. (Freeview Channel 81).

I really like it - i showed it to to a class of 11 year olds on Thursday who were expecting Shrek and they liked it too.
