Open Wide

Clarice: Alright Gay. Here’s a little question for you to consider whilst we’re sitting in the club house.

Gay: OK Clarice. Sock it to me.

Clarice: How do you swallow a door?

Gay: You’ll have to tell me Clarice.

Clarice: Bolt it!

Philosophy

Bertrand Russell was a philosopher, logician and social critic in the 20th Century. Here are just a few of his quotes:

Organised people are just too lazy to look for things.

Why repeat the old errors, if there are so many new errors to commit?

One must care about a world one will not see.

Education is not to be viewed as something like filling a vessel with water but, rather, assisting a flower to grow in its own way.

There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.

Conversational French

Bob: Now Dave, you know how I am professionally interested in food?

Dave P: I certainly do Bob. Your food is wonderful.

Bob: Well, do you know why the French like to eat snails?

Dave P: Er no. Why do they?

Bob: Well they just don’t like fast food!

Brown?

You might all remember our racey green, fast as lightning during the hot, dry spring and summer months. Now our volunteers and Bobby have started work on the green to improve it. It will look worse during the reinvigorating work on the green, so don’t worry. Our green is in very experienced hands (all of them with green fingers). Click Here to read Ian Wilson’s update on the work on the green.

HUGE THANKS TO OUR VOLUNTEERS ON MONDAY, especially from Bobby.
