Well, I've been away in London and just found this thread.....great, now I can witter on to my heart's content.......in the same vein as MHB.....
Why is it that the women rock drummers never get quite as insane as the guys?
Why does grass grow so quick, and why hasn't someone invented slow-gro stuff?
Why am I convinced I'm as breezy now as I was at 16 only to find out that it's another planet and I left it, and there's no secret code to get back in?
Why do I want to?
Why do the dodgiest looking politicians have torrid secret sex lives? (see link) Is it because they hot stuff in the sack? Or without the power would they just look like any other old bloke down the pub? Any why would they want to dredge up his wife's having a child she had adopted just because he was found out? Tit for tat? Or sour grapes and image mending for him? Why am I cynical about what can be done with power at your elbow?

Why can't I do geometry?
Why don't I love funfairs now, as I used to when I was a kid? Is it my inner ear balance, or something, or am I just turning into a boring old fart?
Why do I think of MHB as a secret rock chick in some former life, and now think of her as living in a huge house in Sing, doing dinner parties and swanning over a huge team of staff?
Is it a world-wide phenomenon that babies are so cute and we love them so much? Is it because they have to be that way because of the upheaval they bring with them?

Does everyone go back to 'another place' in their mind when they smell the ocean, or mown grass, or roses?
Which smells are 'instant' reminders of youth for you? Or special times? (Johnson's Baby Powder counts.)
I agree with the read books and good movies, MHB.
Why do all the fancy, 'You can lose five pounds in one week with this diet' only boil down to 'You're eating too much fatty, cut down'...?
OK, over and out.....
Bubbs.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
