Bums on seats

****************************************

That's what it's all about, Anna - Life. It's bums on seats. The propagation of the species.

But that's okay. It's what got ME here - and YOU too.

I wonder why so many 'creative' people are gay? But perhaps the percentage is no greater in the arty set that in ordinary folk. Maybe it just seems that way because they are in the public eye.

Do you get many gay folk in the porn industry?


You can learn a lot from cats. The other day I visited the home of a friend I had not seen for over a year. She has a cat. Although we had met before - the cat and I - you could not say we were good friends. But she immediately jumped on my knee. My friend shoo'd her off. Back she came. Again she was shoo'd off. Again, calmly, dignified she approached and jumped up on my knee. This time I said to my friend - Oh let her stay.

The cat shows us that we should not be put off if at first we are rejected. Rather, we should try again, and again... and again if necessary (always remembering to be calm and dignified about it). The odds are that in the end we shall get what we want.

I've never learned much from a frog. But I haven't met many frogs.

I watched old Coxey again on Sunday. Fascinating. He was telling us how there was a limit to how big an animal could grow - also a limit to how small it could be. And this was not solely to do with evolution and natural selection - it was governed by the laws of physics.

The red kangaroo is the largest marsupial in Australia and it won't grow any bigger. It can't, because of the laws of physics - and it is the same laws that prevent us from having hopping elephants.)

Oh, and also it seems that the bigger the animal the longer it lives. This is something to do with metabolism, or the speed at which it metabolises food (something like that). And that is why the bigger the animal the slower it moves (generally speaking).

So is there a lesson to be learnt here? If you want to live longer don't go rushing about everywhere?

I wish I had listened more during physics classes at school. 

Anyway, Anna, the sun is shining and I must be about my business. Not long now before we can get it on, eh.

Oh, and here's a tip for the exams: Read through the paper first, before starting to answer any question. Remember, the questions don't have to be answered in any particular order so best pick one that you feel confident about for your first answer. That will get you off to a good start.

How is Dave? Has he got a job yet?

Yours
