Samuel Johnson wrote: "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life". This also to moggies . . .

I'm not sure if it's the MEANING of life - but if you look at baileys question at 2:12 last night - then you'll discover that the ANSWER to life (the universe and evrything) is 42 - according to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

To boldly go where no man has gone before !!!!

[Dustybun]

that must be the most famous split infinitive ever, bb!!

(a pedant writes...) the so-called 'split infinitive' is a spurious shibboleth: the infinitive of go is go, and there is no grammatical reason why you shouldn't put an adverb between it and the preceding preposition, especially if it avoids ambiguity...

[Andy Cheever]

Alternatively, Kittencat, you COULD move up north!

[Dustybun]

well that's me told! thanks Mike - no-one's ever used the word 'shibboleth' at me before! Thank goodness for Chambers!!!!
