Joke Corner –
After this History Lesson – a salutary reminder – we might all take up Brocket Hall’s offer or possibly even mini golf a la Jonathan Ross !!
History Lesson (and there’s a moral to the story – read on)
In 1923 who was:
1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?
These men were considered to be some of the worlds’ most successful of
their day – now, 86 years later we are told that success had a price –
what ultimately became of them ????????????????
The Answers:
The president of the largest steel company. Charles Schwab - died a pauper.
2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson - went insane.
3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney - was released from prison to die at home.
4. The greatest wheat speculator Arthur Cooger - died abroad, penniless.
5.. The president of the Bank of International Settlement - shot himself.
6 The Great Bear of Wall Street Cosabee Livermore - also committed suicide.
However, in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament - the US Open - was Gene Sarazen.
What became of him?
He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95.
He was financially secure at the time of his death.
The moral of this history lesson:
Sod work !!
Play golf !!
and so say all of us !!!!!!!!

So working on the ‘less work’ basis – it is PARTY time !!
Street Party and Square Party
First Up –
the one and only – MOTCOMB STREET PARTY
an ‘institution’ in it’s own right -
Organised and run by members of the The Knightsbridge and Belgravia Business Association, the Motcomb Street Party now regularly attracts over 5,000 visitors and has proved to be the one of the most popular events in the local summer diary.
Year on year, the Street Party continues to demonstrate how local businesses really can generate extraordinary results. Last year, through the generous contributions of sponsors and donors, a staggering £32,000 was netted on behalf of the two very worthy children’s charities. This tremendous result was due in no small measure to the vital donations made by local companies and the revelling residents, visitors and VIPs who generously partake in the evening’s activities.
With live music sets, a DJ, street entertainers, delicious food and drink stalls and children’s activities, the event will be opened by a celebrity and include an auction of sumptuous prizes kindly donated by local traders and boutiques.
Currently we do not have complete details of this year’s celebrity participants – but going on previous years the evening’s activities should run as follows:

Politics, politics, politics – whether or not you are totally disillusioned – the fact is politics effects our daily lives
THE BRUGES GROUP
presents
euro Vice
Wednesday, 17th June 2009 - 6.45pm for 7.00pm
How EU corruption, the euro and the Lisbon Treaty are putting the squeeze on Europe
Speakers:
Dr Anthony Coughlan - One of the Republic of Ireland's leading EU-critics
Edward Leigh MP - Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee
Dr ANTHONY COUGHLAN
Dr Anthony Coughlan, a Senior Lecturer Emeritus at Trinity College Dublin, is one of the Republic of Ireland's leading EU-critics. And is Director of The National Platform EU Research and Information Centre. This is a think-tank which produces documentation critical of closer European integration on democratic grounds for use by ‘No’ campaigners in the Republic's periodic European referendums.
He regards the growth of EU-critical opinion in the Republic of Ireland to be part of a growing international movement throughout Europe in defence of national democracy and the Nation State and subscribes to the dictum of the late President Charles De Gaulle that, "Europe is a Europe of the nations and the states or it is nothing."
Tony Coughlan was responsible for initiating the 1986/7 Crotty case before the Irish Supreme Court. This judgement laid down that a popular referendum was necessary before there could be a surrender of sovereignty to supranational European institutions, as the people are the repositories of sovereignty under the Irish Constitution, so only they can surrender it. It is because of this judgment that Ireland is required to hold a referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon before it can be ratified.
He is also involved in a number of cases before the Irish Supreme Court to try and ensure that the forthcoming Lisbon II referendum is fair and not distorted by the Irish Government.
EDWARD LEIGH MP
Edward Leigh is the Chairman of the Cornerstone Group of Conservative MPs. He has had a distinguished Parliamentary career serving on many committees scrutinising legislation and the government. Since 2001, he has been Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.
Mr Leigh worked in the private office of Mrs Thatcher from 1976 - 77 as her Private Secretary. From 1990 - 1993 Mr Leigh was a Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the Department of Trade and Industry; prior to that he was a Parliamentary Private Secretary in the Home Office.
His political interests are; families, foreign affairs, agriculture and defence. Edward Leigh was Chairman of the National Council for Civil Defence and was Director of the Coalition For Peace Through Security.
ADMISSION: £10 payable on the door or in advance
