Oscar Wilde

I did do the exercises to the point where I stopped reading Neville! I'm thinking, Bright, in the Spring sun - perfect place to read that book.....

Hey Terry I did read that post of yours so it was there before disappearing . . . on Wilde I agree with Heather - he was before his time. One of my favourite books is the complete works of Wilde which was bound by my Great Grandad . . regularly dipping into his plays, essays, stories and poems.
One of my favourite quotes - Education is admirable, but nothing worth knowing can be taught.
Sure he had his vices - we all do, and whilst it was well-known that he enjoyed opium and young men, his greatness as a writer cannot be denied.

One of my favourite quotes - Education is admirable, but nothing worth knowing can be taught.

That's a good insight Marty. I think the best education is learning how to learn.


No pain..... no gain Bob

Bob, it is a brain exercise. Guess that explains it all!

Marty and Marty - whoa - agreeing again - spoooky!

Great, great quotes you two. I did read Oscar Wilde's biography some years ago, can't remember a thing about it, but I did read it. Must be time to read it again. The list grows longer....

And what about "Women were made to loved not understood". If men accepted that, the world would be a much more peaceful place!

PS only joking Bobbo!

Hey Bob ya won't get an Oscar for that post. Yuk Yuk enough to turn a man off his tucker.

Seams like I was wrong about your post Bob, their just WILDE about it.

What's a COMMA ?


For those who are interested The Stockmans Hall Of Fame have updated copies of The Ringer's Book of Outback Terms and Phrases.

A must for any bush poet I think just like a dictionary


Why do so many people mistake diplomacy for a weakness ?
