    No offence taken, we're each entitled to our opinion, but it would be handy to speak of it from an enlightened position.

    When i first joint the Forum I felt that certain feeling for ENOCH but I went off and stood in the corner and had a good talk with my self and that feeling soon passed.

    I do like the wit of Stephen Fry
    Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I´m not so sure about the universe.

    Man-crush, hero worship, adulation are all terms we use to admire our fellow men. No problem there. My own preference is for humility over arrogance. That's not always the american way.

    Of course not, it's not in their Constitution (or dictionary)!

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    James who? (I don't follow cricket).

    Interesting, the heroes we nominate. I chose actors. You have mentioned royalty and sportsmen. I suspect our real role models are in our everyday life, but they are doomed to miss out on the recognition they deserve. It is ironic, because they don't care.

    If we examine our thoughts a little perhaps we are identifying with successful people or high profile personalities who, despite that revered status, seem unaffected by the wealth and fame.

    I knew somebody would pick me up on that one.

    Three statements: Firstly the age thingy. It made a more interesting statement to not know any young men, but as you have guessed not an entirely accurate satement. I have in the past stated that getting older has the advantage that more and more women become attractive. I am a little hesitant to say the same about men. Let's say they are persons of interest.

    Secondly: Only women develop like fine wines. Men develop character, which may just be a euphemism for their rascally behaviour.

    Thirdly: The effect of wine?

    "Let schoolmasters puzzle their brains
    With grammar literature and learning,
    Good liquor I stoutly maintain
    Gives genius a better discerning."

    Oh, if I need to be serious about who I really admire, if I really had to nominate just one person, it wouldn't be royalty (Yikes!) or sportspeople, or cabinet-makers, it would be this guy - Dr Noel Fitzpatrick.
    ABC Classic FM - Mornings - Bionic vet - Dr Noel Fitzpatrick

    If you've got a spare hour have a listen to the interview with Margaret.

    To be honest it is the people who put up with all sorts of adversity, (pain chronic illness etc...) that don't let their burdens get them down and strive to live a normal life are the ones that I really admit\re.
