Popular Post cromptonnut Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 I ran out of toilet paper earlier, so I'm doing that awkward "trousers half up" waddle to go and get some more. I'm just over half way to Tesco now. 1 23 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct - born Feb 12th 1809, so he would have not long celebrated his 210th Birthday this year. Wasn't it Kenny Everet when he was on the radio who used to announce famous people's birthdays as if they were still alive? e.g. "Beethoven is 223 today" or such like. And Simon Mayo used to do a bit about births and deaths of famous people, with a rather dark remark about their death; so again e.g.; "In 1827 Beethoven was composing - in 1828 he was... de-composing" 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Which brings us nicely round to Monty Python once again!!!! Beethoven's gone, but his music lives on, And Mozart don't go shopping no more. You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again, And Elgar doesn't answer the door. Schubert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh, Whilst composing a long symphony, But one hundred and fifty years later, There's very little of them left to see. They're decomposing composers. There's nothing much anyone can do. You can still hear Beethoven, But Beethoven cannot hear you. Handel and Haydn and Rachmaninov Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal, But nowadays, no one will serve them, And their gravy is left to congeal. Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds With their highly original sound. The pianos they played are still working, But they're both six feet underground. They're decomposing… 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That said, I believe Unicorns, Narwhales and them liquid alloy Terminators using "stabbing weapons" can be foiled quite easily by popping a cork on their most prominent pointy bits, thus conforming to most European (and post Brexit) British health and safety legislation.

I have noticed as I get older (!'m 65) my personality traits and behaviour have started to revert to my early adulthood - intolerance, sharp tempered, and selfish. Is it just me? In a few years I'm going to be racing my trains around a circle of track again!!
