Point taken. My mathematics was a little out.

I may have become tangled, and not for me to second-guess your sex life.

I think you're confusing my ex with the old woman who lives in a shoe.

Mark, this Ron Hubbard chap seems splendid.

He and I have been corresponding and, yes, gosh, he appears to be 'sound' ...not quite sure what your disclaimer is all about.

It is always nice when we get new chums on this site who are happy enough to post and take part in proceedings.

and that makes us brothers how exactly?

You mean we're brothers Glenn? I've always felt there was something missing.

And I've just figured out Humbert Humbert: he was the Morris dancing Aussie rules player in the little tight trousers, the one Elijah had his dalliance with. That's what it'll be Peter.

Old Mother Hubbard.

Humbert Humbert, the Morris dancing Aussie rules player? No, couldn't be he.

Ha ha...was just pulling ya tits, Mark...

As a curious aside, a couple of years after that incident, I bumped into this chap in a niteclub in Auckland where he sheepishly apologised and gave me my $10 back...(and bought me a drink)..so I magnanimously decided to let bygones be bygones.

He's not related to Humbert Humbert, is he??

Thanks for that Gregster. Bright and famous - yep, I can get that. Although I would've been making those damned hunters miss their shots.

Any relation to mother Hubbard who lived in a shoe?
Not to be confused with Cleese and company who lived in shoe boxes and licked gravel off the road.

What! A place as majestic as a shoe! I'll have you know I was dragged up living in a sock, a sock, I tell you, no windows and it was wiffy. All we'ad to eat was toe jam.

Elijah: if you remember another thread some time ago where I explained my family background, then you would know my 'family' view of homosexuality is probably closer to the Islamic one, than to a civilised one. So no, I doubt that was any relation.

Hubert
German, Dutch, English, French, and Jewish (Ashkenazic): from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements hug ‘heart’, ‘mind’, ‘spirit’ + berht ‘bright’, ‘famous’. The name was borne by an 8th-century bishop of Maastricht who was adopted as the patron of hunters, and helped to increase the popularity of the personal name, especially in the Low Countries.

(Hubbard a corruption of Hubert)

to mother Hubbard who lived in a shoe?

Not to be confused with Cleese and company who lived in shoe boxes and licked gravel off the road.

"Who is John Galt?"

What about the tart 'Hubbard' from Christchurch who once pinched $10 out of my wallet? ..are you related to him?

I will not admit that Philip!

While I'm at it, let's clear the air on another issue - everyone be on notice. If anyone suggests there is any resemblance between the Dick of breakfast cereals, Mr Social Responsibility, and myself, then I will have to seriously re-assess the whole non-initiation of force principle. And all I need give you is exhibit A: I have a chin.

you gotta admit there looks like a family resemblence there.
