What's this Website all about? It started as a memorial to my late daughter, Jackie (1968-1987) to connect with others who had lost a child; but there's more life than death here; it’s not a cyberspace-tombstone. If you've lost a child, go to Losing my Daughter and read what we went through & learn about our return to a kind of "normality". If you want to "talk" or share your experience please Contact Me.  Other pages are a mix of opinion, rant, humour, poetry & travel. Some call it a weird mixture. Perhaps it is. Each page stands alone. If it is an incongruous mix, well - so is life! Over there to the right is a link to my Guest Book. Always good to know who’s visiting!   © Lionel Beck - North Yorkshire - UK The Difference between Knowledge & Intelligence Knowledge is knowing that tomatoes are fruit. Intelligence is refraining from adding them to a fruit salad. The Difference between Eroticism & Perversion (with acknowledgments toTory MP Giles Brandreth)  To be erotic you pluck a feather from a duck and waft it around delicately and sensitively on the body of your partner. To be perverse, you use the whole duck.
