That way, when you do, he is a mile away with no shoes on. Can?t remember where it came from ? sorry. Isn't this Elvis Presley? From a 1970s spoke I love the blues bros, truly funny and they can sing, everybody is a real feel good tune,  deb Back to top

By the way, the "Never criticize a man..." quote is really Elvis Presley: it's the beginning of his intro to "Walk a Mile in My Shoes". It's there, word-for-word, in the Elvis Lives "virtual concert" DVD, which borrows heavily from Aloha from Hawaii, so maybe it's originally from there. This means that the Blues Brothers nicked it from Elvis. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Here's a few more credit crunching peals of wisdom, After dark save on the cost of light bulbs and burning electricity, by attaching a miner's lamp to your head Why spend money on expensive window cleaning products- vinegar  really works , also makes a good loo descaler too. Oh yes use a Spacehopper for transport around the ity, quicker than walking, no bus tube, or train fares , and excercise too. Save on your water bill, use paper plates they can be thrown away hopefully  recycled after each meal, not much good for gravy. Save water - bath with a friend. Oh yes one of my favourite quotes has to be from Stan Laurel "If anyone comes to my funeral with a long face I'll never speak to him again"       -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.
