Agree absolutely about Ken, Mac, but I have no say in the matter unfortunately!

G’night all.

Ode to Bliar

I thought you were a hero,
I thought you were a saint,
It seems you were just celluloid,
some powder and some paint.

And if I were to meet you;
a slice of private farce,
I’d be sounding out your image,
you’d be checking out my arse.

Thankyou, I’ll be here till thursday, try the veal.

There has been a lot said lately about a person’s outward appearance being a true reflection of the inner being.
Try the following, and see if you agree with that thesis.

Chacun a son gout
==============

It wouldn’t be at all surprising;
If; aging now; you’d lost your bottle
Just look at your crepe bandage skin;
Your neck hangs loose, like turkey wattle.

Don’t you like your current image,
Now you see how you have changed?
You should see a plastic surgeon;
If you’d like it rearranged.

You don’t like the wrinkled dishcloth
Hanging there, where once was face?
But you’re still the self same person:
Growing old is no disgrace.

Getting old should make one happy,
Your general health is up to par,
Don’t think of the alternative:
Thank the Lord you’ve got this far

The cover of the book one’s reading
Matters not; it’s what’s within,
Old fiddles play the sweetest music:
Said Stradivarius with a grin

But, since this verse is academic:
And your prowess has been proved
Reputation’s all that matters;
The Party waits, it won’t be moved.

There’s one thing of real importance:
Your faculties are all in place
Silly wrinkles; they don’t matter;
We need you Ken, to win this race.

It should have been on the other subject, but …

Both places didn’t stock Peter but had Chris (his brother) who has a new book out. I tried to ignore the mayhem and flicked through Chris’s book. It may have been my mood but reading the Bible would have been easier going. I bought Vanity Fair to check Chris’s work out further and I’m sorry but what a waste of money. If you just lurve Paris Hilton and simply can’t choose between a Tag or a Rolex then this is the mag for you. I read The Speccie instead and was faced with an advert that consisted of, well, I’d rather not say. Then saw that The Speccie is trying to get into schools!!!

I give up.

I’m not usre that I’m terribly impressed by anything Shaw, and admirer at different stages of both Hitler and Stalin, said. A good quipologist perhaps.

However I take the point that I think you make. Churchill had a long history of cock ups. Many of his critics had no such record. You’ll never make a mistake as long as you don’t try to do anything. If people would only remember that, we could be – well back in the stone age.

However I think PH raises some points worth considering. For example he compares the reaction to deaths from smoking to deaths from AIDS. Why are is there not the same criticism of people who indulge in risky sex as there is of people who indulge in risky inhalation? Indeed far from criticism there seems to be an idea that it’s all someone else’s fault – usually George Bush. OK there are children born with HIV and women who have contracted it from being raped. However grotesque it may seem we could see that as the equivalent of passive smoking. The main vector seems to be men, gay and straight, who are aware that they are infected and just carry on.

That’s one of the arguments PH throws in. I don’t deny there may be things wrong with it but it would be handy to know what. And in that way PH is performing a service.

He apparently longs for the relative simplicity of lifestyle all those years ago, when we all worked 60 hours a week for a princely sum of 3d , on which we managed to raise a family of 11 children, drive a Ford Pop,smoke 30 Park Drive a day, drink 5 pints of best bitter every night; have 2 weeks holiday a year at Butlin
