Off the Cuff

Av Ingrid - 14 juli 2008 10:50

Dear Readers!






The Golden Opportunity of Lifetime! May I introduce myself - when my Mom is busy doing housework and my Great Mom all eagerness to gather material for her Memoirs... So here I am - the Scottie of the Manor - and I better get my act together. There are some obligations, I might say...





In the future plans dear little ME happen to be the pivotal figure and a SHOW is the next prospect!




I better not be a disgrace to a proud family and a blot on the escutcheon... So tomorrow I will have my hair done! Yes! Luckily I´ll have my own private coiffeur... even if the Maestro in question sometimes make me feel like the hero of a novel of suspense trapped in an underground den by the personell of the Black Moustache gang. Anyway, off we go!




If the show is worth mentioning you´ll get a proper report.




Please, pardon me any spelling hang-ups & grammatical fears... I´m a mere lad, only four months of age...
Thinking of the great bards in the glorious past it reminded me of a Kipling poem the curate had recited - something about if you can something something and never something something, you´ll be a man, my son, or words to that effect.




Bye for now.




Viggo

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Thanx Astrid!

At last! I can rest my mind and Great Mom can stop dithering.

Yours with anticipation/Viggo

Att Humphrey Bogart var skottefantast har vi nämnt flera gånger, men idag har Skottebloggen till sin stora förtjusning lyckats hitta en tidigare okänd bild! Den är från komedin "Stand-In" från 1937, en hejdlös drift med nöjes- och filmindustrin. ...

Memphis Belle är smeknamnet på ett Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress , ett bombflygplan, som blev berömt när dess besättning lyckades flyga 25 uppdrag över Europa och återvända hem till USA under andra världskriget. Det sista uppdraget flögs 17 maj 1943. F...
