Our old Jem doth like his prose
Nothing better on the nose
Stories of the past abound
Film stars; writers; will astound

But young laddie of the heart
Where’s the Utube – up ya ar…?
Pictures appear from time to time
But is just totalizing mime!

Yes we need the moving pictures
Of the silver screen – those critters
Then we’ll know you are not crippled
You have mastered – come to gripples!!

Did you know??

Jane Seymour well known for her role in “Dr Quinn – Medicine Woman” has so far been married six times? Her first marriage was to Michael Attenborough son of Sir Richard Attenborough – she has six children [two being step children]. Her original name was Joyce Penelope Wilhemina Frankenberg – [you can see why she went for Jane Seymour heh?] She starred in a James Bond film “Live and Let Die” She owns residences in Malibu, California and Bath, England.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Married six times, that's incredible, too think, someone can make the same solemn vows, six times over, she may have a home in "Bath", bet she don't have a "Tin" one.

I used to get into all sorts of trouble, and skirmishes as a youngster, and not worry about it but now, I feel panicky and anxious at the first sign of trouble, I wonder if I have developed Aggrophobia?

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Good moaning all and one. 'Tiz a lovely day by here on the Riviera. I have just ordered a load of brass chain to string (or should that be to chain) across my pond in my eternal fight against the fish stealing heron wot keeps a-visiting.

Pond life is an oft used derogatory expression, but the lives of the things wot inhabit my pond are to me a thing of beauty, and fighting for their lives is something I take seriously.

In the early days of stringing chains, ropes, and cables, a new mathematical formula had to be invented to calculate the correct length. Previously it had been assumed that a chain, rope, or kay-bell would describe a parabola when hung.
However, every time this was done, the chain rope or cable length came out wrongly, lengthwise. It was eventually realised that the shape described was different to the parabola theory and thus a formula was developed, called a catenary.

y = a cosh(x/a)−a.

When calculating the length of chain needed for my garden pond, I pace it out, convert paces to metres, and then guess how much extra I need for the amount dropped over the length or width. It are very compilcated, I assure you.

Blimey Fruity we need Pugsy Bear on that, he would have the whole formula laid out on four pages.

You need a chain gang
