ON LIFE’S JOURNEY WE ARE ALL

 

On life’s journey we are all

Looking for the one

And I can safely say that I

Married the one

On a scale of one to ten

She was a one

IT’S NOT THE SIZE OF A MAN

 

It’s not the size of a man

That marks him high or low

It’s what is in their hearts

That makes them grow

Just look around you

And you will also know

That the smaller being

Can cast a giant shadow

DURING A PASSWORD AUDIT

 During a password audit by the IT crowd,

They discovered something quite absurd

A young woman by the name of Bimbette

Who was using the following password

PughPughBarneyMcGrewCuthbertDibbleGrubb

And was told such a password was wrong

But Bimbette explained that she was told

Her password must be six characters long

WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY (1)

 

Who’s in love?

What’s love got to do with it?

When I fall in love

Where is the love?

Why do fools fall in love?

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (1982)

 

Witness for the Prosecution” is a Courtroom

Drama, written for television by John Gay, screenplay written by Billy Wilder and

Harry Kurnitz, Agatha Christies play adapted for television by Lawrence B. Marcus, and Directed by Alan Gibson.

 

In this extremely enjoyable courtroom drama, cantankerous, yet brilliant barrister Sir Wilfred Robarts (Sir Ralph Richardson) returns to his office in London, having recovered from a heart attack, under the watchful eye of Nurse Plimsoll (Deborah Kerr).

He is subsequently invited to defend Leonard Vole (Beau Bridges), who is the prime suspect in the murder of an elderly rich woman.

The unemployed, former World War II veteran, married to his beloved German wife Christine Vole (Dame Diana Rigg), is accused of seducing, and murdering the wealthy middle-aged single woman, Emily French (Patricia Leslie), in order to inherit eighty thousand pounds, and the stubborn QC must defend him.

 

Donald Pleasence, Wendy Hiller, David Langton, Richard Vernon, Peter Sallis and Michael Gough provide a very able supporting cast to the main stars.

MY FATHER WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN

 

My Father was trying to explain

About anaphylactic shock again

And wasn’t doing it very well

I could have explained it in a nutshell

I AM NOT IN ANY WAY INTERESTED IN

 

I am not in any way interested in

An alternative energy supplier

Because if I said I was unhappy

With food I would be a liar
