Wilmot quotes

July 18th, 2015, 7:02 pm

I hate the thing is called enjoyment: Besides it is a dull employment,It cuts off all that's life and fireFrom that which may be termed desire;Just like the bee whose sting is goneConverts the owner to a drone.The Platonic LadyComplete Poems of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester. David M. Vieth, ed.New Haven: Yale University Press, 2002. 25-26.

(Robbie) Willmott is comfortable playing on either wing and has been known to play centrally as a second striker or an attacking midfielder. His pace and ability to dribble make him a formidable opponent when he is on top of his game.[

What's his game? Many men seem to find more enjoyment in games than in women, don't they?

"'What ... doest thou stand here to fuck time?' Dash they fell to worke"
evidently, Wilmot (with 1 t) was an amateur gynecologist, wiki
Following this incident, Rochester briefly fled to Tower Hill, where he impersonated a mountebank "Doctor Bendo". Under this persona, he claimed skill in treating "barrenness" (infertility), and other gynecological disorders. Gilbert Burnet wryly noted that Rochester's practice was "not without success", implying his intercession of himself as surreptitious sperm donor. On occasion, Rochester also assumed the role of the grave and matronly Mrs. Bendo, presumably so that he could inspect young women privately without arousing their husbands' suspicions.

Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.

Sadly unless the Earl of Rochester has a descendent who was a bricklayer then we aren't related.

What about the size of the pipe, heat capacity, combustion rate, ...? (I think I might be related to Mr Wilmot.)

Would adding an inrun to the database cancel the effects of the second outrun and restore balance?
