Arthur C. Clarke's dictum of 1962: "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is almost certainly wrong."

Isn't it time to stop repeating yourself?

If I may take the liberty of repeating another gent of the Forum:

Never!!

 

 

PS

You have made a serious mistake, as the above is not a repeat. The other thread is the repeat.

Does anyone know what time it was?

Does anyone know what time it was?

 

It was 1918, though I can't be more exact about the time, when Hemingway left the Star to volunteer in World War I as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross. He was wounded in both legs by mortar and machine-gun fire, and while recuperating in a hospital in Milan fell in love with a nurse.

I think the correct term is that was the day...

Wowee zowee! That's another Significant Question all in its own right! It seems that there are more things to think about that I had first realised.

Be careful about that Alice Cooper.

Better dead flowers than dead pets.

Check with the Bard of Salford (J. Cooper Clarke):

"the day the world stood still

the day the world stood still

no traffic noise or sparrows trill

from the dead flowers on the window sill

this is the day the world stood still"

 

As for Henry Cooper, well, that was the day...

when fans reminisce about old ’Enery, they talk about the potent left hook he landed to the jaw of 21-year-old Cassius Clay. And they talk about what might have been ...

Biff!
