"Arf' a'Wing" Pinero

At last, someone else who is a fan of the works of the British playwright, 'Sir Arthur Wing Pinero'. (1855 - 1934)

Probably his finest quote is, "Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed."

Basterdised to the modern cliche of 'Life is not a rehersal'.

Of course it was rumoured that Sir Arthur wanted to be a Nav for the Wright Brothers, but they told him they didn't need one.

In retrospect a big mistake, as the first flight would have been much longer if Orville knew how to read a map, instead he had to land after such a short time to ask the way!

SS

p.s. Thanx to the J crew who flew over BJ the other night. If you hadn't have blind called, we wouldn't have seen you!
