Good Lord, look at all those Osmonds! I can't see Barbara's photos, Malc - need to be her friend to do that, but I can see her friend list and there are heaps of them in there.
I don't have anyone famous in my friends list. The most well known would be the odd cartoonist that appears in there.
Roger, you should join up so I can have you as a friend! Jane Fonda accepted me as a friend when she first started on fb, but someone must have pointed out to her that she'd find it difficult to accept 7,000 friend requests and she'd be better off with a fan page. I've got a lot of catching up to do re friend numbers compared to Malc! So if anyone wants to send me a friend request - go ahead, you never know, I may accept it. Haven't ignored one yet. God, I'm getting bad - it's all this time spent on the computer while I was resting my leg, I've been sucked in!
Your parents really lived the war, Diane. They were very hard times and they certainly brought out both the best (in your parents? case) and, unfortunately, the worst in people. Both Trevor and my parents were fairly old when they had us - mine were 40 and Trevor's in their late 30's, in different ways, partly as a result of the war.
I'm not sure if we would have any of those, Malc. The courage probably, but the hardiness and the sense of duty - I doubt our children would display the hardiness, but perhaps that's unfair. It would certainly be a terrible shock to them to have to go without the essentials of life as they see them, along with those which actually are the essentials! I think the sense of duty to our country would be more about protecting people and our way of life, but then underneath the propaganda, it was always about that.
