The full quote is from Alice in Wonderland

Quote
Speak roughly to your little boy
and beat him when he sneezes
he only does it to annoy
because he knows it teases.
I speak severely to my boy
I beat him when he sneezes
for he can thoroughly enjoy
the pepper when he pleases


I quite like the beating idea  sex014

As Terry Wogan is given to saying "You never miss them until they are beneath the clay".

The furthest back I have got with ancestors is 1547 when my umpteen times great grandfather was born in Winterbourne Earls, Wiltshire. 400 years before me in 1947.

Yup ~ he died at the age of 95 which was very unusual back then, most people died in their 40s. Mind he was wealthy and connected in some way with the Church. Given the history of the times he must have shown some pretty nifty footwork religion wise.

Farrah Fawcett has died of cancer. Shame but not unexpected.

Dunno ~ just heard it on the 7 o'clock news and posted it as the announcement was being made. They didn't give her age ~ I look it up.
