Hi Well done Cheers Homer 49

Why do we wear a poppy ? In 1918 Moira Michael an American wrote a poem and promised to wear a poppy each year to commemorate the fallen This is the poem WE SHALL KEEP THE FAITH Oh! you who sleep in Flanders Fields, Sleep sweet - to rise anew! We caught the torch you threw And holding high, we keep the Faith With All who died. We cherish, too, the poppy red That grows on fields where valor led; It seems to signal to the skies That blood of heroes never dies, But lends a luster to the red Of the flower that blooms above the dead In Flanders Fields. And now the Torch and Poppy Red We wear in honor of our dead. Fear not that ye have died for naught; We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought In Flanders Fields.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them

Hi Stupid man In 1989 Dodd was charged with tax evasion. The subsequent trial, with the prosecution case lead by Brian Leveson QC, led to several revelations. The Diddy Men, who had appeared in his stage act, were often played by local children from stage schools, and were revealed never to have been paid. Dodd was also revealed to have very little money in his bank account, having £336,000 in cash stashed in suitcases in his attic. When asked by the judge, "What does a hundred thousand pounds in a suitcase feel like?", Dodd made his now famous reply, "The notes are very light, M'Lord."[10] Dodd was represented by George Carman, who in court famously quipped, "Some accountants are comedians, but comedians are never accountants".[11] The trial lasted three weeks: Dodd was acquitted.[11] Despite the strain of the trial, Dodd immediately capitalized on his new-found notoriety with a successful season running from Easter to Christmas 1990 at the London Palladium. It was there he had previously broken the house record for the longest comedy season at the theatre, in 1965, with a residency lasting forty-two weeks. Some of his current material mocks the trial and tax in general. For a while he introduced his act with the words, "Good evening, my name is Kenneth Arthur Dodd; singer, photographic playboy and failed accountant!"[12] Cheers Homer 49 [edit]

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you on the day God called you home Sincere condolences for your loss Margaret and Alex Blyth

Hi On our journey through life we often meet people who become our friends. This was the case with William King and myself. A truer and genuine friend you could not find and this friendship was through the sport of racing pigeons I could go on for pages with stories about Billy but will only ask you to consider this one How many pigeon fanciers do you know that the late Louis Masseralla invited into his home and was given the keys to their stock lofts, Billy King was Only yesterday I booked a ticket for Billy for the LSC presentation this Friday and Billy ask me to go with him to Newmains doo ball which I said yes God Bless You Billy And thanks for the friendship and memoirs Alex and Margaret Blyth
