families family history interests
The thing that interests me most about family history is the gap between the things we think we know about our families and the realities.
ancestry best connected connection connects criteria feeling fellow generally good people race
For me, ancestry is just one thing that connects us to people, and feeling connected to other people is generally a good thing, as long as one kind of connection does not have primacy over all the others. Heredity, race and nationhood are not the best criteria by which to judge our fellow humans.
ageing spencer tracy
I think ageing suits me because I was born old, like Spencer Tracy or Dolly the Sheep.
descendant might report school sir
My maternal grandmother had what might be described in a school report as a 'lively imagination.' She told us that she was a direct descendant of Sir Christopher Wren.

Being in the latter stages of life means the morning is unkind to the reflection. It takes a few hours for the creases to fall out. By about 4 P.M., I look quite nice.

The only way you can ever accuse a Conservative of hypocrisy is if they walk past a homeless person without kicking him in the face.

The need to compile lists is a personality disorder, as is the need to assert the superiority of some things over other things.

You can inherit male-pattern baldness from your mother's father, but not a tendency to fight in the First World War.

Northern Ireland is part of Ireland, not Britain, as can clearly be seen from aerial photographs.
cheer people lasts
Why don't people just accept that life is sad and cheer up? After all, it's not going to last for ever.
children war party
The Afghan War has clearly reached a stage similar to that moment at your child's party where you realise you've forgotten to give the other parents a pick up time.
people done harm
Most harm is done by people who are awake.
