For those who remember P.G.Wodehouse the 20th century humourist and his characters "Jeeves and Wooster", Hugh Lawrie and Stephen Fry made the perfect actors in the TV series of the same name presently being shown in Australia.
It is an old series and both are very young but it stands up well being a period piece from the 1920's
hi.
does anyone remember a co from the '70s in australia called phil hayward?
he still has some tapes of his talks doing the rounds.
Hi again "Why"
I remember many many years ago reading the biography of the once famous but now seldom mentioned Bertrand Russell.
What struck me at the time was the mention of the regular Sunday lunches with his extended family, a motley crew of Parlimentarians, free thinkers , a forceful Church of England Minister, a Communist and varied creative types.
Bertrand himself, no stranger to debate described a virtual free for all, a cacophany of well thought out ideas and ones more of the spur of the moment observations, often heated, most often barely civil but with an affection that allowed for the "I beg to differ" acceptance of variety of opinions. They were family after all the dust settled.
I remember at the time thinking, "What a marvellous and normal way to be", at a time when I dare not share what I was reading in Barclay and in Phil Hayworths talks

Hi Why
Phil was a lovely chap.
He was in Annandale . Sydney congo for a while and was very popular. I remember him as a ministry school o'seer and very warm.
His most "famous" talk was on Jesus , which was widely circulated. Manyyears later, after reading William Barclay' commentaries, I realized that Phil probably used them as reference material.
It was a talk that touched me emotionally and stirred my appreciation for Christ that had not been stirred in the previous 30 years.
He was selling roller skates for quite a while and then disappeared from the scene.
I heard from a "fan" of his that he had suffered a nervous breakdown and was a virtual recluse.
I hope he is well for he had a real love of people.
i heard joe and wife are out and rumors about hubler.. joe was the nices't guy around but hubler was the biggest a***h**l the god chucked guts into..
Hi Karter
Joe and his wife are no longer Witnesses
I heard that they were on the circuit in Western Australia and were housed in a flat attached to a KH whilst they were on holidays
Joe decided to use the KH library which had a considerable number of early publications.
He started researching and I was told that he was shocked at what he found. This led to further digging and "that was that" as they say.
