death tribble Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 I once saw him just outside Victoria Station in London chatting to two members of staff when a man recognised him and brought his wife/girlfriend over to meet him . No one else was paying any attention. even though in his case he had his dog collar and purple frontpiece on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 Moments of opportunity in history are only achieved with the leadership of great people. But truly great people don't think of themselves as great, just as doing what's right and necessary to the best of their ability. From everything I've been able to learn, Desmond Tutu was a great person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 In the spirit of the recent holiday, I'd like to offer this utterly terrible idea for a Christmas TV special, maybe done by the animated puppet guys: The JWST has a problem after launch, that must be fixed immediately. NASA turns to Santa Claus as the only person who can get to the telescope in time. But this would interfere with Santa's deliveries for Christmas. Can NASA take up the slack so that both science and Christmas can be saved? t's a good thing I'm not in charge of programming anywhere. Dean Shomshak Logan D.

unclevlad Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 We're in the wrong gig, people. Like, seriously wrong? Steady work? 40 years. Great pay? Oh my yes. 8 digits nowadays. Great hours? How about working 4 days a month? Occupation: game show host. Or hostess. Pat Sajak just "didn't* celebrate 40 years as host of Wheel of Fortune...and some fans were upset that the show made no mention of it. Some people, methinks, need a life. Vanna White...39 years. Annual salaries listed...Sajak, $15M. White, $10M. Reported net worths in the $70M range for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
