I'm 'early elderly', and staying that way. If I endure long enough, and really must, it will become 'delayed elderly'.

Alternatively, if 'extra mature' is good enough for Cheddar cheese, then it's good enough for me.

[moe]

You have room for me??

[westgrandboulevard]

Let's quietly 'extra mature' together, Moe...and pay no attention to anyone who remarks about us being left on the shelf...

[arr&bee]

You two are so cheesy.

[westgrandboulevard]

...but so very tasteful.....

[moe]

And ripen well with age!

[westgrandboulevard]

Yes, we could be around for quite a while, just quietly sitting here, working our way to 'vintage' status.

[moe]

Why don't we do "A Grand Day Out" like Wallace & Grommit?

[westgrandboulevard]

Well we could.... but, to follow the theme of the film, shouldn't it be other people taking a rocket trip to see us - ?

[moe]

Ok, but some people have the fuel to do it......

[westgrandboulevard]

Ohhhhh. Yes, I know exactly what you mean, Moe.

Perhaps we should stipulate 'Rocket trip visitors welcome - but by appointment only, please'-?

[moe]

OK........since we are very busy people!!

[westgrandboulevard]

Please see our agent with any compliments

[arr&bee]

I got a rocket on the runway.

[moe]

Make an appointment.

[westgrandboulevard]

To avoid disappointment.....

[moe]

We're still waiting.........

[westgrandboulevard]

The rocket may be on the runway, but there's no fuel....

[moe]

Funny how one can interpret that................

[westgrandboulevard]

Some films have alternative endings.

Beginnings are also very much open to alternative interpretations

[144man]

I'm not going to read this thread. I'm waiting for the Director's Cut.

[westgrandboulevard]

Keep watching. The deleted posts don't stay around long, and can be more interesting than the remaining ones....

[arr&bee]

There's always fuel...don't belch.

[westgrandboulevard]

If you do, it will knock your head off.

[arr&bee]

WEST YOU NEED TO COME WORK FOR ME,I PROMISE YOU'LL WORK HARD AND MAKE THE HIGHEST MINIMUM WAGE I CAN PAY...[don't tell the others]THINK IT OVER AND WHEN YOU COME ABOARD ASK FOR[SHADY SLIM]HE DOES THE HIRING,WEAR DARK SHADES AND A WIDE BRIM HAT.

[westgrandboulevard]

I'm kept fully occupied working hard here, for nothing.....

[arr&bee]

For nothing[i can't top that offer]i'm taking my offer off the table west,you're a tough man.

[westgrandboulevard]

Just to show you how tough I am, when I've finished my voluntary work here, I'll pay you so that I can work for nothing.

You'll not find many more razor sharp minds like mine, no siree!

[arr&bee]

You'll pay me?????you're hired send the cash to da hood.

[westgrandboulevard]

Would that be Robin Hood, of Nottingham fame?

[arr&bee]

No that would be[r&b]of in my pocket fame,hehehehehe.

[moe]

R&B doesn't' steal from the rich & give to the poor without a markup, westgrand

[arr&bee]

Thank you moe....[i think]!!!

[westgrandboulevard]

At least the namecheck was free....

[arr&bee]

West i may send you a bill yet.

[westgrandboulevard]

What would I do with a bill yet - ?

[moe]

Bill yet? Do we know him?

[westgrandboulevard]

Perhaps he was formerly Bill Stickers? He was always being threatened with prosecution, judging by the public signs in my very much younger days.

[arr&bee]

You guys are nuts,i'd better check my private stash,cause you two are acting strange.

[144man]

I remember Private Stash. He was in the same army unit as Major Currency.

[moe]

Oh yeah 144man? A n d wasn't Major Currency in General Setting' s unit?

[westgrandboulevard]

Now, I thought that was Major Disaster....

[144man]

It was after he met with Corporal Punishment.

[westgrandboulevard]

Now, he was a real pain.....

[144man]

Of course the cane was always applied by a Rear Admiral.

[westgrandboulevard]

The cane may have been able, but I still hope the Rear Admiral was given a lot of stick for using it.

[144man]

Those were the days of "Spare the rod and spoil the child". Happy days!

[westgrandboulevard]

It's certainly true that undisciplined children are likely to become undisciplined adults.

It's also true that children really should develop without a lingering sense of unhappiness. If they do, they'll carry it with them all of their lives.

Finding the balance, when they're young, is the tricky part. That's why good, inspiring teachers [[even if they may not be technically qualified) are of immense value.

While sitting in a classroom, the Motown songs revolving in my head were infinitely more inspiring than many of the teachers who were stood in front of me.

[moe]

You both should've had the nuns in front of you with their yardsticks!!

[westgrandboulevard]

You're speaking from experience, Moe?

The closest I ever got to that was having someone in front of me, bent almost double while using a yardbroom, singing 'Climb Ev'ry Mountain'.......
