Only Fools And Horses Heroes
what do you think is the meaning of this poem in ODEs?
The peace that the sailor seeks in the storm
And the rest that's the warrior's aim
Can't be purchased with wealth in any form
Nor, Grosphus, with power or fame.
The pauper who wants only what he can afford
Sleeps soundly. But he would fly
To new fortunes, although he hastens abroad
Speedy vessels, sees his trouble stand by.
Fools nourish dreams of perfect joy;
I'll take less, having witnessed a hero
Die young and watched rotting old age destroy
Tithonus, reduced to gibbering zero.
It may be I have just those things you need
Amidst your horses fine clothing, and cattle-
Subsidence, and joy from the poems I read,
And no jealous mob doing me battle.
Even the simplest poem will become difficult to decipher if you use a really incompetent translation.
Horace is saying that people spend their lives trying to earn the kind of money that will give them a life of ease, never realising that the life of ease they yearn for is often the life they have left behind to make money.
He moves on to observing that for most of us it makes more sense to learn to cherish what we have than to beat ourselves up trying to get better.
In Horace' time Rome had just emerged from a series of civil wars (Horace himself deserted the losing - pro Democracy - side at Philippi) - so there was a premium on poetry which argued the virtues of quietism.
Augustus didn't want any trouble, and Horace didn't want to give him any.

Only Fools And Horses - Heroes And Villains - The Future
Famous Vans in TV History
Those of us of a certain age have certain vans imprinted on our unconscious, thanks to the medium of television; think of the Mystery Machine, driven by Fred and The Scooby Doo Gang or the distinctive black van used by Hannibal Smith's A-Team. Younger viewers are being introduced to the less dynamic, but equally lovable van driven by Postman Pat. And possibly the least stylish hybrid van that we all remember has to be the 'Trotters Independent Trading Co' van driven by Del Boy from 'Only Fools and Horses'. In fact, this last van is so popular and so instantly recognisable that one of the three-wheelers actually used in the show has recently sold for £44,227.50. Let's hope the new owner has got cheap van insurance!
A recent poll by Toys R Us found that the Mystery Machine was the most popular fictional vehicle of all time. Although it has no official model or make, it is generally assumed to be a 'groovy' camper-van. The 'flower-power' designs and the Machine's slightly psychedelic paint-scheme help to capture an age of television that was seemingly innocent, yet hinted at 'extra-curricular' activities; just why was Shaggy so spaced out and hungry all the time and what was in those Scooby Snacks? Such is the Mystery Machine's popularity that a large number of camper vans, Chevy's, GMs, Fords and Dodges have been converted in tribute to the Scooby Doo Gang's wheels.
The A-Team's ride, by comparison, was less quirky and certainly had the edge on machismo. Their sleek, black van was as much a part of the team as BA Baracus, providing them with a home on the road and a seemingly endless supply of tools with which to convert old combine harvesters into flame-throwing tanks. With its instantly recognisable red stripe, this GMC van was more than just a getaway car; it became an icon of automotive popular culture that simply oozed class.
The Ecto-Mobile, used by the Ghostbusters in the films of the same name, may not have had the class of the A-Team van, but it promoted the idea of the heroes who were fighting odds that were stacked a mile high against them. A converted hearse, it obviously tapped into an alternative power source, enabling Dan Ackroyd and his gang to bust ghosts right, left and centre. Although used for less other-worldly purposes, Postman Pat's van is equally recognisable, having taken children's drawings as its inspiration. Originally, the bright red van used a generic crown symbol to represent the Royal Mail but, when the Royal Mail gave their consent for the logo to be used it was changed accordingly.
The celebrity van of the future, is likely to be somewhat different to these icons of the past - however, you may not notice from the outside. Conventional vans run from fossil fuels, such as diesel, whereas hybrid vans work from a combination of fuel and electrical technology. As well as all the benefits that are offered to the driver and his passengers, this also has a positive effect on the environment. Because they can run on a minimal amount of fossil fuel, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by a hybrid van is much less than that of a standard vehicle. There is also less potential to run out of fuel at an inconvenient moment; because the hybrid van can charge its batteries as it runs, there should always be a reserve source to draw on when fuel gets low.
While celebrity vans from our past have been indelibly printed in our memories, it is hybrid vans that are likely to grace our screens in the future.

im with a nice guy thankfully, and to be completely honest he was screwed over by a woman to an unbelievable level i wouldnt even want to talkabout, but since meeting me yrs ago hes put her in her place. i agree alot of women are so full of themselves the ones that are ok looking and do make a effort think thier every mans dream, i do get alot of male attention but not once has it gone to my head iv actually got quite low confidence due to personal reasons but trust me if you can not all women are like that and its awful when your at the blunt of one of them, if i was to guess a percentage on my own experinces id say thier are 30-40% of normal females out thier

He should come to visit Lord Montagu’s Motor Museum at Beaulieu in the New Forest in Hampshire in the UK. There are many cars from every era including all those that hold land speed records. It would take you several days to explore the whole museum.

Glad to see that at least one person mentioned 'Only Fools and Horses'.
I guess it's a toss up whether it strictly is a comedy as it had dark episodes and a fair bit of soap opera woven in amongst some comedy gems, actually some of the funniest stuff ever aired on TV.
That it ran for 22 years is a testament to how good this series was (and it's worth getting the entire set on DVD).

The Lone Ranger!!
The dialogue goes like this:
Trigger: "Alright Del, Dave. Bit of a choker old Harry popping off like that."
Rodney: "Yeah. We didn't even know the fancy dress had been cancelled."
Trigger: "Me either."
Rodney: "You mean that's your costume?"
Trigger: "Yeah. I've come as a chauffer. I feel a bit stupid now."
Del: "Yeah, you do stand out a bit."
Trigger: "I don't think you'd have won first prize."
Rodney: "No?"
Trigger: "You're alright. But Del don't look nothing like Tonto."
