Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.
-John D. MacDonald,
There was never any question in my mind or my heart.
We also have speed cameras. They are automatically set to take two photos when you are speeding and then you get a nice photo from the Driving licence authority asking for £60 (U$110) and you get 3 points.
But I do have a way that I get out of these, and it works every time.
But for fear of admitting how I do it, I will not divulge.
But suffice to say, I got out of paying for a fine, when I was on my bike doing 112 in a 50.
However getting caught by the cops, is a different matter.
I have been banned for doing 107 in a 50. Fortunately I was slowing down to 107.
Now I have a lumbering great 4x4 that has cruise control. So, on goes that and sit back and read my book!
ok, ok ... so its an old one ... heres a more up-to-date one ...
Mission Impossible 2
Everyone twirls around a lot with perfect hair (except for the bad guy)
Audience - Oh look they were wearing a mask Audience - Oh look they were wearing a mask Audience - Oh look they are doing that flipping mask thing yet again They spin around some more.
Audience - I feel dizzy, and not in a good way. THE END
Katharine Hepburn - Im a not-been-laid-enough tight old maiden aunt who can't stand Humphrey Bogart. Humphrey Bogart - I'm a druken riverboat captain who wishes I hadn't agreed to transport this stuck up, bitter twisted old biddy. Audience - Yuck LEECHES! Katharine Hepburn - I love you now lets blow up that huge german ship with your tiny little boat, some phalic looking torpedeos and some sticky tape. Humphrey Bogart - I love you too, ok! They blow up the ship.
actually the best way is between the third and fourth rib on the left side.
Sharp knife ... always works.
I actually prefer helping to prepare and cook the meal. Its a team effort to make and its a joint experience to eat together.
What actually gets to my heart, is the wink across the crowded room, my butt being playfully pinched in the market, when I see a rainbow, I remember ...
I dont repeat myself ... I dont repeat myself ... I dont repeat myself ... I dont repeat myself ... I dont repeat myself ... I dont repeat myself ... I dont repeat myself ...
point taken.
Apologies to Husky ... was having a bad morning .. Sorry Bud.
Whilst working in Malaysia, one of my students, who was the Vice President of a Swedish bank in Taiwan, offered to "keep" me.
She offered me an apartment (which would have been mine, and she would visit). She offered me a job in the Bank's school, teaching english to kids and adults. When not teaching, I could double as a 2nd p.a.
... I wonder what would have happened if I had said yes?
There is one thing I loathe with a passion - needles.
But I put myself through hell every three months to donate blood.
... and it is hell!
I once went for a course of injections in preparation for an Asian adventure, and in the end, after the first two visits, they would actually lie me on the bed so when I passed out, I wouldnt fall off the chair!
RE: the taste of love
Hold my face,can you see my light?
Can you see the thread
of existance within me?
The string of connection
is wound tighter than before.
Revelations abound,
mysteries unravelled.
A soaring note played
on the reed pipe of life
for the birds of the sky
know notes such as this.
The white stallion arrives
with flowing mane and the sand
under his hooves.
Travelled too far, for too long
When will it be at an end?
When? Never, I hear,
never, while I have a steady hand
and a candle to see by.
Be loved, be wanted, be there
I am, I was, I will be
But only for
The Dove of Peace.
