Hi everyone........ just wondering what was the inspiration/influence behind your user signature. Mine was nicked from Robert Zimmerman (can't say his professional name, in case of accusations of plagiarism!).
it's either one or the other, or neither of the two.

There is no other organ like the uterus. If men had such an organ they would brag about it.

Mine came from one of the T-shirts we sell at Retired Greyhound Trust stalls...

Re: Signatures
I like mine because it's so true.
On the other hand I'm currently feeling pretty old after spending the day with my grand daughter AND mother at Cadbury World today. I must say my mother was by far the more difficult to deal with. My grand daughter was quite upset that I wasn't allowed on the climbing wall with her because I was aged over 12. She thought I should go ahead anyway as "no one will notice". I THINK that's a compliment... She now has a new baby sister (Ava) so she's hugely excited but we had an absolute ball!

Growing old is much better then the alternative!

I don't know who said mine.... but I heard it on a radio 4 show about speeches and phrases. It seems to ring true about my life at the moment.

Re: Signatures
Mine was the result of an on-line conversation with a nice gentleman who doesn't appear much on here any more, but whom we did have the honour of spending a day with when we were over last may. It sums up my opinion on technology pretty succinctly.

Re: Signatures
It seemed to fit although it started as a protest rhyme against the enclosure acts that forced the English peasantry off the land. During the Civil War it was used as a slogan by the Diggers, who squatted the land to cultivate it, and the Levellers, whose aim was to level the fences put up by those who benefitted by enclosing the free commons. (As well as levelling the social framework.) Needless to say both of these movements were put down with violence as threats to public order. I think that Cobbett also quoted it in "Cottage Economy" but can't be sure.

Re: Signatures
Mine is from The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King as Sam Gamgee fought off the temptation of the ring to make him some sort of Lord Gardener.
It fits my philosophy on what I want from life.
