BREAKING WIND-E-NEWS
Many European countries are considering this matter right now. Breakfasts at all hotels should be available for anyone and everyone for the payment of one Euro.
However this would only apply to the buffet table.

From the headline I thought this would be about farting cattle.

Never ever believe a headline they say.
Anticant : you of all people should know this.

But liked the joke I did.
You avoided "cows".

anticant said...

I always avoid cows - especially of the ZanuLab variety. Long, long ago I knew Patricia Hewitt and Harriet Harman [Harridan Harperson] when they ran [as general secretary and legal officer] the NCCL [now Liberty] and I was on the executive.

We called it the Pattie and Hsttie show.

They both acquired husbands there, and still have them - though our civil liberties have somehow got lost along the way......

Reminds me of Jack Straw all this !

anticant said...

That, of course, should have been "the Hattie and Pattie show".

It gets worse.

An old friend who died last year in her nineties wrily confessed to having introduced La Hewitt's parents to one another.

I told her she had no need to feel responsible.

"Hattie in the Pattie"?
Never eaten that kind of stuff mesen.
But I guess it does not taste so good.

BTW : feeling and feeling firmly the responsibility with and for others is a very tricky moral issue.
I leave it at that.

anticant said...

I suppose you might feel responsible if you'd introduced Hitler's parents to each other?

When Zola and Anticant get going it is like, what we imagine to be, a music hall of giggles and digs.
Will you both please grow up !

anticant said...

No!! Zola's place is a surreal super playground for the Free Child, and if he ever grows up I shall stop visiting here.

If you want to play with grown ups, anonymous, go elsewhere [I nearly said p**s off, but that would be vulgar.]

anticant said...

Also, anonymous, you must be pretty dim if you don't perceive a deeply serious undertone to Zola's and my dialogue.

It's a case of "if you don't laugh, you would weep".

Bugger me Anticant : You are lucky that you avoided me, somehow, in those student union debates!
Cut off yer goolies I would have done.
And so say all of us.

What we need is good back-bencher yapping with both humour and guts.

anticant said...

My goodness, Zola, you were far too young! My student debating days [not that I did debate - I was far too shy, so I just listened] were in the immediate post-1945 days, when the Tories were smarting, and quite incredulous, at their 1945 defeat.

I remember our Cambridge University MP, a crusty old history don called Pickthorn, coming back to the Union late one night after a Commons debate and making very sour remarks about the Labour Cabinet [who were giants compared to today's plastic pygmies].

"And as for that Attlee", he hissed, "he's so flat he's almost concave!"
