A DEAR DEPARTED RELATION ONCE explained to me how people were different. “An angel will have a bucket with your name. It then goes along a line of drums, with each drum full of a different attribute. These drums are full of braun, brains, confidence, fitness, adaptability, reactions, thought, emotion or empathy. Now, there are seasoned angels, who will take a scoop from each drum until the bucket is full: this leads to a balanced person. But if your bucket is filled by a young angel, or even a lazy angel, they may just get to one drum and fill your bucket completely with just one attribute.”
Tosh told to a naive young boy it may have been, but I love the thought. I’ve known some lovely brainiacs at Cambridge…
