Hi everyone Welcome to the Dec/Jan issue of Middleton Life.. This issue covers December and January so remember to save it after the new year, as there won’t be another until the February issue. I suppose you are all still planning for Christmas like me, so good luck and I hope it’s an enjoyable one. The online version of our magazines seem to be proving very popular as last month there was over a thousand hits. This has been increasing monthly so if you know anyone not lucky enough to receive the printed version, let them know they can view it online at www.middletonlife.com/archives where they can also view previous issues. That’s all for now and I’ll see you in the new year.

Thanks and best wishes

Trevor

Puzzlers Professor Merle White of the mathematics department, Professor Leslie Black of phi-losophy, and Jean Brown, a young stenog-rapher who worked in the university's office of admissions, were lunching together.

"Isn't it remarkable," observed Prof. Black, "that our last names are Black, Brown and White and that one of us has black hair, one brown hair and one white."

"It is indeed," replied the person with black hair, "and have you noticed that not one of us has hair that matches his or her name?"

"By golly, you're right!" exclaimed Profes-sor White.

If Prof. Black’s hair isn't brown, what is the colour of Professor Black's hair?

Answers: Jean Brown has black hair, Prof. White has brown hair and Prof. Black has white hair

THE BARRY STEVENS’ BAH HUMBUG AWARD

Bill Keeth with the first of an occasional feature

The Middleton Moonrakers‟ celebrate their win against the BBC Eggheads, August, 2010

Rear, BBC Eggheads (l-r): Pat, Daphne, Chris, Judith & Barry Front, (l-r): Middleton‟s Barry Stevens, Geoff Ellison, Ian Welch, Mick O‟Brien & John Tennent

I‟m told that when my maternal grandfather was approaching his demise, he volunteered the opin-

ion that he was „glad to be going out rather than coming in‟. But, to my mind, Life is ever to be

preferred to our other option – even if you are a churchgoer hopeful of your eternal award (as was

my grandfather), and arguably more so if you‟re a declared non-believer.

Such a one was my good friend, Barry Stevens [RIP] – a humanist, no less. Though Barry Ste-

vens in his prime was more widely known as our very own Middleton-based quiz king-cum-

quizmaster quintessential, latterly a BBC Eggheads‟ basher (see above) – “the Famous Barry” (as

one former licensee of the Old David‟s used to advertise his skill). A perennial polymath was Bar-

ry, too.

„Men will never be free‟, he loved to advise us, by way of a whispered aside on Quiz Night at the

Old David‟s, Middleton, „until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.‟ (Pace,

Denis Diderot, Encyclopaedist, 1713-1784.) Which would have been a much more disturbing pro-

nouncement, had Barry not invariably accompanied this utterance with a broad smile, indicating a

wynd-up was in process with knobs on..

Oh, I‟ve no doubt he meant what he said in an abstract, intellectual kind of a way. But Barry

Stevens, the same man who loved to stun us with Diderot‟s belligerent recipe for freedom, would

not have hurt a fly. In fact, whenever the world and his wife were caught out, baying for the blood

of the most recent newspaper-pilloried ne‟er-do-well, Barry Stevens it was who would remind us

that: „The best safeguard of the liberty of the innocent is the quality of justice we are prepared to

mete out to the guilty.‟

None of which means, of course, that Barry could not get barricade-stormingly angry from time to

time with the antics of political time-servers merrily riding the gravy train – or with any shop assis-

tant or public servant in this locality who would presume to dole out dismissive disservice to a

Middleton public he ought instead to have empowered.

Indeed, many a time and oft, have we (the Old David‟s Faithful, that is) empathised with Barry‟s

reported discourse on Consumer Rights with a Tesco minion who, temporarily at any rate, had

refused him a full cash refund; or with news of his abrupt rejection of his chip shop wrap-up one

Friday night consequent upon some snide aside from the presumptuous hussy who‟d dished them

up; not to mention his doughty defence, cash-starved queue behind him. None of which means, of

course, that Barry could not get barricade-stormingly angry from time to time with the antics of

political time-servers merrily riding the gravy train – or with any shop assistant or public servant in

this locality who would presume to dole out dismissive disservice to a Middleton public he ought

instead to have empowered.

GREGGS, MIDDLETON ARNDALE Why so? Because, upon gleefully presenting them with his Manchester Evening News-sponsored

FREE CREEPY CUPCAKE VOUCHER before noon on 28 October last (that is to say, well before

the “offer” was supposed to end), my young grandson was turned away on the grounds that there

were:“NONE LEFT”.

So, BAH HUMBUG! I say, to the EBENEZERS amongst us whilst wishing . . .

A Merry Christmas & a Happy & Prosperous New Year

to all Life Magazine advertisers and their guesstimated 8,500 discerning readers – not forgetting

my good friend, local buy-to-let investor (the happy & prosperous), Harry R. Hewitt who, come

the February issue of LIFE magazine, will be offering us some timely advice about buy-to-let

investment. Meanwhile, some 7 years on from Day One, I, Bill Keeth of that Ilk will be taking a

much-needed sabbatical.
