A mish mash of thoughts

He’s not remote; he’s near. We live and move in him, can’t get away from him! Acts17: 29 The Message


Pride & Prejudice
English period dramas are the best!
I will openly admit that I have watched the BBC’s adaptation (all six hours of it), three times!
I think I have a calling to star in one, wearing one of those extravagant dresses, dancing away in a grand hall somewhere.There is a casting director out there who simply needs me! (ok, perhaps I am getting a little carried away…..but I can dream!!)


Thought this was rather funny….
The English Language
Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?Let's face itThere is no egg in the eggplant
No ham in the hamburger
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England
French fries were not invented in France.
We sometimes take English for granted
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
If writers write, how come fingers don't fing.
If the plural of tooth is teeth
Shouldn't the plural of phone booth be phone beeth
If the teacher taught,Why didn't the preacher praught.
If a vegetarian eats vegetables
What the heck does a humanitarian eat!?
Why do people recite at a playYet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways
You have to marvel at the unique lunacyOf a language where a house can burn up asIt burns down
And in which you fill in a form By filling it out
And a bell is only heard once it goes!
English was invented by people, not computers
And it reflects the creativity of the human race(Which of course isn't a race at all)
That is whyWhen the stars are out they are visible
But when the lights are out they are invisible
And why it is that when I wind up my watchIt starts
But when I wind up this observation,It ends.
