We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

George Bernard Shaw

Long may we play!

[Ice.Maiden]

Sort of true. Nothing stops the ageing process, but if you stay young in heart and mind, the process seems less noticeable.

[Tomsk]

Wise words..
Have you read Pygmalion Icy?
I haven't or anything bar a few quotes...
He was prolific..

[Ice.Maiden]

No. It's one of those classical plays and books that I've never bothered with, but probably should. Is Pygmalion the one with Eliza Doolittle in it?

[Tomsk]

yes indeed Mrs Kipling!
I've not seen the film either...

Who wrote ;Hobson's choice'?

[Ice.Maiden]

I didn't know there WAS a film about Pygmalion.

Mrs. Kipling???

Who wrote Hobson's Choice? Someone called Hobson???

[Tomsk]

Harold Brighouse ..

[Ice.Maiden]

Your knowledge astounds me! Well done Archie. : )

[Tomsk]

it's got bugger all to do with GBS!

[Ice.Maiden]

That's true. Just a slight deviation from the topic - as YOU do, frequently.

Did you know that GBS's first paid job was in critiquing music and literature?

[Tomsk]

you deviate more..
and no I didn't..

[Ice.Maiden]

A mere ramble along the way Watson, but always come back on topic ... eventually.

And yes - that was really his first job ... so I read.

[Tomsk]

thanks for that!

[Ice.Maiden]

Did you know that he wrote Androcles and the Lion?

[Tomsk]

I do now,
Have you read it?

[Ice.Maiden]

No. Pwhahahaha, but your thread's about the man, so I thought I'd just let you know!
