MY FATHER LEFT TO ME
Many things, of course, but one springs back to mind right now.
He said to me :-
" Always be careful of two things. Slicky dicks and slippy dips."
He was an old Labourite.

WHY RONNIE BIGGS SHOULD BE SET FREE
The adventurer Ronnie Biggs should be set free with two conditions :-
a) He tells us all he knows about Sir Mark Thatcher the snatcher, and,
b) Makes daily raids upon the Daily Mail.

CAN ANYBODY REMEMBER
Just what Karl Marx said about the relationship between the law of the land and the power-elite?

USELESS THOSE PR PEOPLE
Just got sent a few pairs of David Beckham underpants for a trial and for a review.
Much too small I replied before giving them away to the Budgie.

PAGEN FESTIVAL - ENJOYED IT I DID
Loved the Mid-Summer Festival time. Actually I was rather well behaved but I guess that is relative.
But damn it me budget for the month is shot to pieces.
The banks refuse to even grant me a power-breakfast meeting and I really must get back in the swing of things soon.
Maybe I should reply to the request from Sir Mark Thatcher. I was asked to help in a charitable expedition to Ethiopia and get paid well back for it.
Dear Maggi : What can I do?

GOOD MORNING HUN PUN WRONG
As midsummer arrives and the Finnish festivals begin I cannot say too much or too little. Good morning to football fans and good morning to creative political careerists.
Well that is about it right now - off to re-join the party.

NOW TEACHED(ed) AT HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL
" Charge for your expertise... Many companies fail to place a premium on the real dollar worth their expertise, or what it would cost an outsider to learn what they already know..............".

JUST TO RELAX BEFORE ME GRASS IS CUT
We all love favourite things. So I have been thinking about some of my favourite TV song lines.
This is what I came up with :-
" Put the wine in the coconut and shake it all up..."

" Welcome to our house, our house, our house. And we hope you will stay"

If anybody knows the TV programme where these song-lines featured then you are as silly as me - but what other song-lines fill our brains and shake those marbles?

LIBERTY IS A DILEMMA THIS WEEKEND
Bugger me the Sun is back and the grass is growing so fast that soon we will be able to feel it growing.
Me missus demands that this weekend we cut the grass.
Thinking quickly for a change I said in response that : the dandelions are growing too and at the same time and place. We cannot cut the dandylions can we? They have feelings too.
Reply from me missus was straight and clear. She said THE GRASS MUST BE CUT AND WITH IT THE DANDELIONS. WHY SHOULD DANDYLIONS HAVE ALL THE FUN.

JAMES BOND ACTS WITH NED KELLY SOMETIMES
The hero is always a kind of anarchist when things get rough.
But let us not forget that "SOCIAL BANDITS" are also worthy souls without the Church.

I NO LONGER KNOW
Where I was born and within justly what ........
All I know tonight is that I am feeling homeless in the sense of birth.

What Happens When....
The shit hits the fan?
Bloody simple : those with their hand near the power controls switch it off.

ANOTHER SILLY SEASIDE THING
The pearl is my oyster....... ( overheard from a Blackpool conference)

HOME THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD
It is reported that some Norfolk and Suffolk folk are catching crabs and then not being able to handle them correctly.
When I was a nipper crabs were a natural part of life.

BLUES RUN THE GAME
Goddamit I woke up this morning
And
Me Anti-Wrinkle cream was gone.

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Ding dong merrily on high
In my garden the bells are ringing

Yet Another Footnote
Fuck my arse with paper
Wipe my brain with shit
Tell me lies.

ANOTHER FOOTNOTE
Sir Pike the IT "Bissihippi" in waiting.
Bugger me
I have just downloaded a virgin.
And.....
Nobody noticed

NOT A FOOTNOTE TO PLATO
Yehaaa it is Sunday and "WORKERS PLAYTIME"

GEORGE ORWELL RIGHT BEFORE BUT TODAY ......
During "World War 2" Orwell was right to criticise those, like Alex Comfort, who would make public their refusenik-to-war stance.
Today?
Today Orwell would be wrong.
Today, as war seems "inevitable" yet again, we must say NO.
Today we smell those rats already before the nasty event.
Today we have no excuse.Today we must say NO !
Eric Blair would, I suspect, agree today.

BILDUNG AND A CAT
After about two months and more our stray cat kept on going and coming and being at our place. An adventure? Maybe, but for whom?
But today was the day that this little male "ally-cat" was to be clipped and castrated and calmed down.
Last night was the night to try and make sure it was "back home" after certain "agreements" were made.
And there you have it : about 2 hours before the "official clipping of the male brains" there comes a person asking me to help them find their cat for the clipping of.
Excuse me for cutting a long story short but ..........
After two of them searched for the little cat nothing happened. So they came back and asked if I could help.
I said that maybe it would be best if you went away because the cat is scared of you.
They went away.
I went into the small forest and I called.
The little cat came.
I picked it up and "returned" the little thing to the owners.
I think I am already regretting that act.

FREE SWIMMING FOR ALL
The latest Nu-Labor idea. Free swimming for all ( so long as it boosts the UK competition stakes in... well... competitions.
Comments so far include :-
We could have free swimming anyway in rivers or sea, lakes or ponds if it were not for the theft of capitalism for the few. And, if there was not so much shit floating in the sea and filth floating around the waterways and so many people living off cornflakes with a "K". ( Paul Foot Jnr)
This is a good idea. To learn to swim in muddied waters and with a Straw for security is surely a basic need for UK islanders surrounded by threats and wets. ( BNP activist )
I would request then the provision of a rubber suit. ( Merkinist Clubber)
Can we take photographs of all this? ( Trousers Art Museum Trust)

Then this event should be multi-sexual and pluralistic so that a Liberal society is on display for all to see and feel. ( Anti-Whitehouse Society)


What can a good Zola say about all this? ( you guessed it)

WE HAVE NO POTATOES TODAY
The betting is being called off by the big boys. Insider information has given the EU a new sense of hope. Ireland will vote YES to the New and Well Reformed Treaty of the Constitution of the Constitution.
The Rt Con Toni Blair is however not amused and has e-mailed from his own computer to many good Catholics in Ireland calling for a rethink of their faith.
Strange perhaps that, by all reports, the Pope is tickled by all this.

SOME PEOPLE STILL USE THE TELEPHONE
Got a phone call. Asked me to say what I thought of political parties and finance. Gave me a few choices to respond to.
I said that I agreed with everything that was said and.. bollocks.

JUST FOR THE LAUGH
It seems that certain places want me to register with them by internet services whenever I would travel to their beautiful lands.
So here I go : I register thus :-
Bollocks. I care not a pigs fart. Stuff your beautiful lands.
Register that and waste more money on double-checking it.
Bollocks.

BASKING IN THE SUN OF LAPLAND
At 30 degrees C in the sun today and as the flowers grow so fast I take a rest after the long hard winter. I bask in the sun ( would anybody like a picture?).
If it gets cloudy or rains on Thursday I might, just might, consider doing a stroke of work.

NAUSEA LOST AS PARADISE REGAINED
Our garden now springs to life and already it never gets dark.
In our garden we have
green ones and yellow ones,
red ones and yellow ones
And they are not made out of ticky-tacky
And they do not look all the same.
