Re: Can a leopard really change his spots?

Some cultural references don't travel - American kids don't read Beano (the
name of an anti-flatulence pill here, not a comic) or Boys Own. We used to
read Highlights for Children or Archie, which I assume resonate with the
same nothingness to you as Beano and Boys Own mean to us.

But your point is well taken, though I think the better analogy is passing
the scene of a highway accident at the side of the road - you know it's
wrong to look but you look anyway.

Absolutely correct!
I will no longer comment, debate or otherwise participate in these OT
childish ravings,


Do you remember that kid's thing from, probably, the Beano or the Boys
Own paper in about 1960 that had a poem in it which pointed out that, no
matter how pointless an article was, and how much you feel you shouldn't
join in, one felt compelled to read the thing through to the bitter end
because that was just human nature that one should do such a silly thing
and, after all, one does feel that one ought to get one's halfpenny worth
from this internet and learn all one can about coffee , which, when all is
said and done, is absolutely worthwhile.
