No longer capable of producing young; infertile; barren; sterile.<BR/>2. Exhausted of energy; incapable of efficient action; worn out.<BR/>3. Marked by self-indulgence or decadence; degenerate.<BR/>4. Overrefined; effeminate.<BR/>I am happy with your assessment of my ‘effeteness’ with the following amendments:<BR/> <BR/>1. Not sure (the problem is getting a chance to prove it one way or another without involving laboratories!)<BR/>2.Probably (should be ‘certainly’ at present. Transplanting 20 tomato seedlings has exhausted me today)<BR/>3.Certainly <BR/>4.Certainly not.<BR/><BR/>Rob:<BR/>I do like a very little bit of gardening; ie, planting, a small amount of pruning, and transplanting seedlings, but I have never enjoyed weeding or digging.<BR/>Re the Zimmer, I know you will believe me when I say that I also had intended to add a further comment about the Traveling Wilburys.<BR/>[The Traveling Wilburys was a supergroup consisting of George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Bob Dylan.[1] The band recorded two albums during the two years they were together.<BR/>"Wilburys" was a slang term coined by Harrison and Lynne during the recording of Cloud Nine as a reference to recorded "flubs" that could be eliminated during the mixing stage[1] (i.e. "'We'll bury' them in the mix"). The term was used again when the entire group was together. Harrison suggested "The Trembling Wilburys" as the group's name, but Lynne suggested using "Traveling" instead. Everyone agreed.]<BR/><BR/>I realise I have not been keeping up with relevant dates.<BR/>Catch Up:<BR/><BR/>17 Apr:<BR/>100,000 people drown in Dutch damn breach, 1421<BR/>Chaplin, Pickford, Fairnbanks and Griffith form United Artists, 1919<BR/>Mussolini wins election for first time, 1924<BR/>McCarthyism causes Chaplin to say he will never return to USA, 1953<BR/>Bay of Pigs, 1961<BR/>Rolling Stones release first LP, 1964<BR/>Rhodesia becomes Zimbabwe, 1980<BR/><BR/>18 April:<BR/>Lucrezia Borgia born, 1480<BR/>Paul Revere rides from Charleston to Lexington, 1775<BR/>San Francisco earthquake, 1906<BR/>First launderette opens, Fort Worth, Texas, 1934<BR/><BR/>19 April:<BR/>1775 Start of American War of Independence, 1775<BR/>(I like this) Disraeli on his deathbed declines visit from Queen Victoria, saying <BR/>“No, she will only ask me to take a message to Albert,”, 1881<BR/>(And this too)<BR/>May West is pleased with publicity after being jailed for 10 days following closure by police of her hit show ‘Sex’, 1927<BR/>Prince Rainier marries Grace Kelly, 1956<BR/>Dalai Llama flees Tibet, 1959<BR/><BR/>20 April:<BR/>Captain Cook discovers Australia, 1770<BR/>(and another nice one)<BR/>First ever motor race, in Paris, attracts only one entrant, 1887<BR/>Hitler born, 1889<BR/><BR/>21 April:<BR/>Henry VIII accedes to throne, 1509<BR/>Red Baron killed, 1918 <BR/>Citizens of Rio de Janeiro miffed at Brasilia becoming capital, 1960<BR/>Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech, 1968<BR/>Tiannmen Square, 1989<BR/><BR/>22 April:<BR/>Lenin’s birthday, 1870<BR/>200,000 (est) people on Oklahoma starting line to stake claim to 160acres each of 2 million acres of land, 1889<BR/>Yehudi Menuhin’s birthday, 1916<BR/>Charles Mingus’ birthday, 1927<BR/>Aussie Alf Dean, using rod and line, lands 16’10” great white shark, 1959<BR/>Papa Doc dies, 1971<BR/>Pound coin introduced, 1983<BR/><BR/>Robagain: <BR/>Like Elvis McGonagall's poem but, although I like Brain Patten, I don't think this is him at his best.
