  Ah me!  reading all the things that you children  did in your nostagical days of youth make me all weepy eyed and dreamy, ( my son says that is because of the medication that the nurse keeps giving me ) walking to school in the snow with no shoes, a** hanging out of my trousers, bread and dripping, waiting outside the pub for dad to come home from spending all the money on ale,    Yes! 1980 certainly takes me back.   bigH

You're already on record as being over 77 but don't come "the old soldier" here, matey! Thinking about it, your son is possibly older than I am.........

No FLJ when I knew him he lived on the border of Finchley and Totteridge, North London.

It wasn't Hythe, it was Rye. Same view, though................

Put that copy of Bob Dylan away ("My back pages"?). You'll get us all a bad name with the young folk........

FLJ, if we're discussing the works of the greatest poet the world has ever seen, see if you can place this line.

'And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom,'

The really sad thing is, that he'll probably be able to....

Wouldn't be one of McGonagle's, would it? 

Nah - it's "The Ballad of Hattie Carroll" by He Who Must Be Revered  (How the he11 did I remember that ? I can't even remember what we had for lunch).

RW - Don't turn this into "Where's this line from, then?" for Gawd's sakes!

Almost right, the correct title as penned by Bob is 'The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll', so just half a point for that.

A 'Where's this line from' thread would be a lot more interesting that one or two of the others that have been running on this forum in recent weeks. Still, I can take a hint Mr Jacket, so we'll leave it there, but here's another one for you to ponder on 'On the very next day, with a nose full of pus' They don't write them like that anymore, do they?

   FLJ    All I know about the old days is that my employment stamp is worth more than a penny black, and yes Dave, I did work on the Archers farm when it was an allotment.   Harry

   FLJ  Sorry Dave my son says that he does not reveal his age in case his wife finds out and takes his pension off him.  Harry
