SENIOR MUSING

 

Why is it easier?

To get older

Than it is

To get wiser

WOKING

 

Woking so wants a claim to fame

So tenuous links to the famous they list

On the official Woking web site

Such as Adelina de Lara, Concert pianist

The Spice Girls and George Bernard Shaw

Queen Elizabeth I and Lady Hamilton

Paul Weller, Peter Gabriel, Rick Parfitt

Peter Davison, The Jam and Eric Clapton

Sir Alec and Eric Bedser the Cricketing twins

These and many more appear for their sins

H.G. Wells is a particular favourite

With several places in town with his name on

But when he wrote “war of the worlds”

He had the Martian land on Horsell common

Because sadly while in the town he hated it so

He made sure that Woking was the first place to go

DANGER ZONE

 

Don’t you just hate drivers

Who jump traffic light on red

Leaving chaos in their wake

And leaving someone dead

FREDERICK BAZILLE

 

In the woodlands of burgundy

A bright light of impressionism

Was cut down by Prussian rifles

In the name of French imperialism

 

His corpse left decaying in a ditch

Found by his father under burgundy skies

A founder member of a movement

Unnamed until long after his demise

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS (1957)

 

“The Spirit of St. Louis” is a biographical drama, based on the book by Charles A. Lindbergh adapted by Charles Lederer and Directed by Billy Wilder.

The film is a Biography of Charles “Slim” Lindburgh’s life, covering the period from his days on the precarious mail runs in aviation's infancy with his friend Bud Gurney (Murray Hamilton) to his solo transatlantic crossing from Roosevelt Field on New York's Long Island to Le Bourget Airport in Paris.

But he was more than a pilot because Charles Augustus 'Slim' Lindbergh (James Stewart) co-financed the Spirit of St. Louis, a fabric-covered, single-seat, single-engine “Ryan NYP” high-wing monoplane which he jointly designed with Ryan's chief engineer Donald A. Hall (Arthur Space).

But the drama of the story comes once he is airborne and alone in the empty skies with only the open ocean below him.

WHATS IN A NAME (26)

 

Does anyone know if Alfred Sung?

Does anyone think is Sean Young?

Does anyone know is Koo Stark?

Would anyone know was Yvonne Darke?

THE LYNX EFFECT

 

I bought some new Aftershave,

You should try it

It smells of sunflower seeds

The birds really love it
