The Nobel Prize for Literature will be announced on Oct 9th.
The big bets are silently on Philip Roth.

Both wine and bread at confirmation were fake and this small site might just attract others that experienced the same. Critical voices? Those that participate? Who knows. For those that find sympathy with a walk on the wild sides of life, mountains, rivers or forests but do not pretend to escape. Other bits and pieces the news and also odds and sods that cry out "leave it off mate". Justly a lark and maybe the lark. But the lark will often land on the cactus.

My money is on Mandy when he writes the next Lab manifsto.
The Fisting Clunk rules.
Why is it, that with criticisms of Mandy, there's so often a dash of homophobia thrown in? Merkin: You are the Sun's front page sub-editor (On Mandy's support for Gordon today: "He's Behind You") and I claim my free Top Gear DVD.
In the case of Brown it is not homophobic to repeat that his dissonant view of the world is caused in part by his own hypocrisy on certain matters.
It has long been suggested that he is hostage to fortune to a certain element within whitehall.
In 'giving' Mandy a job, when his failure to secure Doha was about to lead to his demise, he is only stoking that suggestion.
I must go now down to the local co-op and claim my free Top Gear CD (I presume that it is about methods of growing cannabis)
Having seen the advert, I was about to instead buy the Observer with the free Mel Gibson Hamlet CD.
Such choices available to us on a saturday.
There is still a lot of actual homophobia around [e.g. in snide comments on Guido's blog] but I'm not sure all of the punning ones are serious - just clever [though not always] word-plays.
And homophobia, of course, speaks more loudly about the sexual hangups - and secret desires - of the homophobes than about their ostensible targets.
I have always maintained that there isn't a man yet born, however publicly macho, who would turn down a male blow job if he thought he could keep it a secret.
Anyway, he'd be a fool if he did!
'I have always maintained that there isn't a man yet born, however publicly macho, who would turn down a male blow job if he thought he could keep it a secret.'
A whole new career beckons, Anti.
Can I be your agent?
I don't think fantasy 'comes' into it with regard to Bruno and Mandy.
More a case of throwing whatever ordure comes to hand.
If that ordure comes wrapped up in a bottle of Fabrize, fair enough.
I remember doing a year of archaeology at Glasgow Uni in the seventies.
The excavations at Windmill Hill had turned up 'stag helmets'.
For sure, any mention of these in relation to Ms Palin would not leave me open to questions about my concern for Mooses or Mice-ez.
Just goes with the territory - in this case the North West Frontier which I can just see from my window.
(the round window, rather than the square window or the arched window, must be said).
New career? You're a bit behind the times. And I don't need an agent, thanks all the same!
Anyhow, at 81 I'm retired.
"Anyhow, at 81 I'm retired."
Have you got all your teeth? Might have a USP there, on the escort market, Anti me old mate. Can I be your pimp instead?
Cos if you let Merkin at it, you'll probably end up in porn, no doubt in a film based on the gay mafia that rules the world. Working title: Bildebuggers Screw the World. Or something like that.
What if, Merks, this is just Gordon Brown being, again, too clever by half? End of. May be it's just that.
Mandelson: 'I'm joined at the hip with PM'
The Observer, not the Sun, today.
Repeat, no pimp needed, thanks again.
If a gay mafia DID rule the world, it might be a marginally better place, as long as the lesbifeminazis with their PC nonsense were kept firmly in check.
Too clever by half?
Maybe, in which case, this piece of Rovian black art is not un-connected with Bruno's recent trip to the states with Sir Mugabe Miliband.
Now say thank you to Zola for allowing this mind-blowing dialogue to come under Nobel Prize tags.
We are all lucky to have such a kind and democratic Zola.
No need to thank me.
It is simply my duty.
The Blogosphere expects that Zola will always do his duty.
Is that to God and the Queen ?
Methinks that I should not have used that word duty.
But never mind for that.
At the weekend I relaxed reading bits and pieces of Evelyn Waugh and enjoyed it all.
Can you believe that?
Wonderful story-teller that ole tug was he was.
Pretty much potboiling drivel, except for "Brideshead Revisited" and "The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold" [which was largely autobiographical].
Nevertheless, Philip Roth is considered to be among those in the final running for the prize. According to the Guardian, the British wagering house Ladbrokes has Italian critic Claudio Magris and Syrian poet Adonis as the two frontrunners.
