    I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

        could have been, of course us intellectuals in 1 troop were above that sort of behaviour.

          Whoever says man cannot make wings to fly like a bird?

              His name was Daedelus....and he few too near the sun trying to escape an Agean island. (Can't remember which). So the wax holding his feathers on melted and down he went.
              Served the daft cnut right. He should have has a reserve on.

                    Damacleese and the lion... Sommat about a thorn in his foot and the lion pulled it out... They became best buddies... As a story goes, bit too far fetched for me. I prefer stories like Alice in Wonderland etc. much more believable

                      It's not too far fetched Dave, animals are more intelligent than some humans, and have seen certain animals appreciate for their lives being saved.

                            I saw that incredibly talented young geezer "Dynamo" on the gogglebox fly across a room with no wings, and it was a voluntary take off. Unlike several occasions when I have bin launched unwillingly through Fire Exit doors by bouncers in days of yore.

                              It was Icarus Tony, son of Daedalus. Daedalus, made the wings.
