Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 3187447, member: 1847"] Well mate, you've opened the door here, because actually, he did. After leaving the Sharkies (I'm told he had a needle phobia) he sat himself down and wrote his famous Colloquies, some of which I actually read when I had a bit of spare time, in between our wins this year. He was an interesting cove the old Erasmus, a bit of a radical and ahead of his time. He didn't much subscribe to the prevailing views of the fairer sex in his day, that they caused droughts, floods, crop failure, impotence and shonky contracts. Instead, he thought highly of them, and penned one of his more well known aphorisms: "women, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em". So there you go. And perhaps to sum up this thread, something else Erasmus wrote: "In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." And now, to much applause, I'll show myself out. [/QUOTE]
