MY REMOTE CONTROL STOPPED WORKING

 

My remote control stopped working

And wouldn’t operate the TV

It turned out that the batteries were dead

It was nothing short of AA calamity

I HAVE SUFFERED WITH KIDNEY STONES

 

I have suffered with Kidney stones

But I am happy to declare

That Elvis has left the building

With more than one Jordanaire

MY BEST FRIEND ASKED ABOUT MY MARRIAGE

 

My best friend asked about my marriage

And how things were going there

I said I hadn’t spoken to her for three weeks

As I didn't want to interrupt her

I PREFER THE MORE ROMANTIC VIEW

 

I prefer the more romantic view

Even if it’s not scientifically right

That the stars in the nocturnal sky

Are holes in the curtain of night

THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME DOUBT

 

There may have been some doubt

As to his allegiance to the club

Denoted by replica shirt and shorts

But no such doubt existed in regard

To the authenticity of his jock strap

As we all know what they supports.

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – RANDOM HARVEST (1942)

 

“Random Harvest” is a romantic drama, based on James Hilton’s book of the same name and directed by Mervyn LeRoy.

Charles Rainier (Ronald Colman) a shell shocked veteran of World War I wanders out of the sanatorium and meets music hall star Paula Greer Garson who nurses him back to health and marry and settle happily into a quiet humble life, until he is involved in an accident which restores his original memories of a former life of wealth and privilege while erases all recollection of his post-war life.

So, a quiet and humble man disappears, and another man long missing as a casualty of war, turns up and claims his vast inheritance.

So, what of his devoted wife Paula, whom he no longer recognizes, what is she to do to reclaim her love? And will love conquer all in the end?

The film remains true to the Hilton novel and is one of the most beautiful and tender movies I have ever seen.

The acting is flawless, the cinematography memorable, the characterizations multi-dimensional, the scenery gorgeous and the peerless direction adds to the pleasure.

A strong supporting cast aids the story telling

Susan Peters as Kitty, Henry Travers as Dr Sims, Reginald Owen as Biffer, Bramwell Fletcher as Harrison and Philip Dorn as Dr Benet.

A film not to be missed.

THE WISDOM OF OLD AGE # 12

 

I have found in life

A tip I wish to share

If you are just unhappy

Or if you are in despair

If you have an illness

Or if it was just a scare

Something that troubles you

Or something you want to share

Whether you’re in love

Or have a broken heart to repair

If you have a secret

Or have something to declare

Whether you toss and turn

Or if you don’t have a Care

If you think life is joyous

Or you think that it’s unfair

I have learned that everyone

Can use a prayer
