WHAT AN AFTERNOON THAT WAS
Had a meeting. Got told off.
I was accused of "looking down" at a female member.
She accused me (your clean and pure Zola) of inappropriate behaviour.
I answered that I was looking down naturally and her low cut dress was great.
Then I said, quite harmlessly and in the spirit of Rochdale, " If I had a pair like that I would not go out of the house at all - I would play with myself all day long."
Anyway it got worse and I was asked to leave.
I pleaded truth and honesty but.... inappropriate behaviour.
What should I do?

FIRST PREPARATIONS FOR UK TRAVEL
In two weeks time your social Zola will arrive in the UK and try to survive for 10 days. Already a few preparations have been made :-
a) a set of fake passports and driving licences
b) a bullet proof vest and a tin helmet
c) a fake beard
d) a new dictionary of English language ( pocket sized with 10 pages, awesome!)
e) a previous high-octane diet of cabbage and cauliflower so my farts can act as a safety system against irritants and blue-meanies.
If anybody has more suggestions please inform. Your poor Zola is not well versed in the UK anymore and will clearly get lost a few times ( or worse).

A FEW WEEKEND FRIENDS ON TV IN FINLAND
As you know this blogger is no TV watcher but a few bits and pieces are more than just ok. In our house of a weekend we look forward to two TV programmes. From Lapland we watch "MORSE" and we watch "TEAM PULLMAN". ( no idea what these are called in the uk but who cares). The Oxford Morse makes me laugh out loud and then smile with a reflexivity that bends me damned back. Team Pullman is that long needed answer to whatever happened to the Likely Lads and Dennis Waterman on heat with a song. Oh when will I see the likes of such again in my own time?
Liked the blonde bit too.
Me missus smiles at that too.

ZOLA REFUSED !!!!!
After a few days of work, goddammitt-damit, your loyal blogger Zola thought up a new scam. Better ways of earning a crust methoughts.
These three days of work....really quite tiresome.
So a visit to the new "Sperm-Cloning Centre" was made and an offer of high quality proteins made. ( ought not to have had a few beers before the test I guess).
You guessed it.
Zola was refused. The sample "not fit for...."
It seems that they are after "good workers" and "loyal subjects" and this Zola did not satisfy the test.
But don't worry I stole their porno books.

BALLS TO BE THE BEDROCK OF OUR SOCIETY
AT LAST a male attitude is taken by the British government. No more Blairy airy fairy namby pamby stuffy. Mr Brown ( who does not like his name history revealed) has tickled his fancy boy and an erection has been observed. Balls is now put up high to look after the little ones. Disgusting said some but Mr Brown is not for the moving. This is a history is it not.
Brown said that " Children and family are the bedrock of our society" and what they need is Balls.
Actually what PM Brown ( with a good nose for promotion himself) meant by this was that " our society" must be "bedrocked" through more uniforms and grades and even a little caning would not go amiss. For the elite to survive and to look after OUR(?) society it is necessary for the (schhhh....schhhh...shush never said a word) working class to be fucked again.
Balls to helping working class folk.
Sori - that was a PRIVATE joke.

BREAKING WIND-E-NEWS
We have learnt today that Tony Blair has been sent to the Middle East through the powers of both the Vatican and (what amounts to the same kind of thing) his wife.
From the good Vatican we learn that the Pope sent Mr Blair on a quest to find both redemption and grace and the Middle East was the place to be sent in this search for a heavenly legacy.
From his wife Catholic-Cherry-Intact we learn that : "this was exactly what my husband deserved after all his past hard work and attempts at spirituality for real." When asked if she would be joining him on this quest Catholic-Cherry-Intact said that : " There are many things yet to be finalised in our agreements but it is all for the good."
Your good Zola will try and keep you informed of progress as it happens.
This might take a time.

MESSAGE FROM TROUSERS
We have been asked to inform our readers that Trousers is back although still under shock. He had, as we know, been "travelling" and his travels were connected to a certain court case ( see Judge with and without Trousers reports). A friend of Trousers said to us that : " he will be ok soon although his loss is great and he feels hard pressed to blog right now"). On behalf of the establishment Trousers is forgiven and no jokes will be made at his extra expense concerning this court case. No need to leg it again.
BTW : Anticant remains refusing to answer our questions on this matter.

CUTTING THE MUSTARD
Due to more Finnish things getting prime-time your favourite Zola decides to say more in this atmospheric angst. ( Change colours now)
After one of my texts was hijacked by the www.coms I received an e-mail from a skateboarder. Yes! A skateboarder. Me? But it seems that one of my anti-sport-pro texts was thought to be a youthful celebration of skateboarding (which it was).
Anyway to come to the mustard and cut the crap : here is news :
Finns are mentioned everywhere in international skateboarding circles. There is even a board with " TURUN SINAPPI" splashed across it ( for sale in most countries). But this is the problem. Turun Sinappi is no longer Finnish due to takeovers and all that.
This is why, in our good house, we use " AURAN SINAPPI".
No skateboard yet has that on it.
Zola remains ahead.

Finns Are ....
More American than the Americans? Such has been said many times.
But it seems that Scotland and even Ireland have better links.
But most twin-towns with Finland come from the wicked east.
Very strange.
Anyway as more Finn-types get responding here on this blog I guess i should talk Finland more. God bless me frurkin mole.
It was 1976 when i first landed in Finland to live and work and .....
well a few memories might come out.
Must check first to see if the guilty persons are still alive.

SCOTLAND Highlands and Lowlands
Let us consider Scotland. It was those Scots that almost invented the Industrial Revolution and the damned ideology that supported it towards Blairism. But that was a low point in history just like the clearing of the Highlands.
But a few Highlands remain.
Oban remains full of chambermaids.
Glencoe remains full of wild weekend gullies to ascend.
In Burghead we may still sing a folk song or two. ( go fishing too)
and
Even on Staffa a few bits of 19th century poetry remain in the cave.
I know because I saw Antiprank writing it.
By The Way : Scotland and Finland are quite close in that they tend to keep the population at about the same rate ( no progress).
Land policy you see.
Fuck the Duke of Westminster I say.

AN ETHICAL COMPETITION
In Finland the Midsummer period ( a few days of boozing) is always ending in a kind of angst. Such is the Finnish character. But there is one way to counter that. It is called the game of human resources. ( if you thought Monopoly had it all ideologically correct then just try this).
How many human resources will be lost ( that is deadified or simply lost) for the Greater Finland this Midsummer?
Answers can come by this blog and no statistical analysis will be paid for.
How many Finns ( or nearly Finns) will die in Midsummer madness?
This competition ends on Sunday night-Monday-morning.
How many Finns dead this Midsummer? That is the question.
Check with the Finnish newspapers to see how important this is each year.
Bugger it I'm off for another beer.

TRUST THE EXPERT-SYSTEMS
For any European agreement to be agreed it is necessary to trust the experts that satisfy the expert-systems. This means to deny the public space and voice (if allowed).
It would ne nice to hear from folk : who are these experts that WE trust?
Perhaps a few names could be presented on this blog.
Who is trustworthy in this EU ( or even nationalistic) facade?

FOR SERIOUS EUROPEAN READERS
The latest EU summit has been so kind to animals like cats and dogs and, of course, the big business leaders. But the spiders and the frogs and the reindeers have been ignored. It has been said by one newspaper that the EU is the "Poodle of Blair". Does Blair have a poodle? I guess we will see by Saturday.
Hares have closed down an Italian airport at the same time as Merkel ( no she is not one of the three little pigs) has tried to gather tortoises together.
Tonight I will read again George Orwell and Animal Farm in 1984+ and I will also find an animal for "me" tonight.
In Finland the Midsummer Festivals begin.

JULIE BIRCHILL FINALLY FINDS PROMOTION
WE HEAR that the ever-youthful JB has said no more to the "Julie" of her past and her journalism exploits. She prefers the BIRCH-hill it seems. As she is reported as quitting the newspaper game she enters the Theology college.
Those that will say "What the fuck will be the difference?" are ok in this living hell.

A LITTLE PIECE OF ENGLAND ......
In a small and insignificant place far north there will be today a special celebration.
As the first English bishop visiting Lapland (to fulfil the desire against pagan ways) he was taken away to stay with his private heavens.
You see in some places the Falklands tragedy does not become a farce.
To forget is to fail and to forget that "FUCKLAND" philosophy is to die in the "Happy Consciousness" that is ..... well.... could we say Thatcher and Blair coming together.
Flag this if you want.

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning - stop press
Bob Dylan was honoured again in Europe but what was news was that one of his songs was heard to be blasting from two political Napoleans.
Herra Brown was seen and heard playing "Don't Think Twice it's alright" at volume and with a smile that would scare. ( It aint no use to sit and wonder why babe, if you don't know by now...)
But just a little wheeze across the waterside-front the new turd-way-guru ( actually Peter Sellers in drag) from France was playing the same song.
Who said that the soul of the EU constitution was dead?

Mr Burgess I Have "Seen" Your Daughter
Due to the unbelievable becoming so popular this ragged soul retired to bed and to read again that "Clockwork Orange". It was only now, not then, that I understood just why it was one of those banned books in UK morality-circles. Shit it was the New Labour Manifesto.

THE ESSENCE OF BLOGS
Due to the recovering periods of those three intrepid travellers it is necessary to keep the faith. We must appreciate that living in places like Nottingham is difficult. We must understand that seeds sown in places like Yorkshire are seeds in need of culture(ing). To be born or bred so far away from the sea is to be, to say the least, disadvantaged.
But the blogotechnosphere helps the disadvantaged and gives them a sure-new-start in real life. The essence of blogs is, as Andre Gide well knew, the heart and soul of the boat and the sea.
A boat and a blog was never designed to remain in safe harbours.
Today even disadvantaged folk from Nottingham and Harrogate can enjoy the real world and become.......
Surely this is a good thing.

NOW THE UK LABOUR PARTY SUPPORTS DIFFERENCE
The one size fits all was never a socialist ideal. It was a nasty management ideology as well as a nasty way to dumb down towards profits. At last the UK Labour party begins to see itself in the mirror and the image is ... well.... fuckin discustard. Rumours are going around that mr Bliar was born because of a failure in condom size and a condom not fit for purpose in that situation. But anyway Blair was conceived.
The Labour party wannabees, the louts and the careerists have been sucking up to Blair for so long that even the Daily Mirror is joining thee Sun and the Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail, Express and Guardian in the Blair is a Bad Bastard campaign. Even the bear Murdoch has begun to abuse the self-esteem of that loser-Blair. But the smiles from both front and backbenchers in the sickly Labor camp have only sucked in what was all to do with a failed condom. Time to spit now is it?
Of course George Orwell, in his book "Coming Up For Air" said things long before about the nasty Blairisms. He wrote :-
" Rotten fish in a rubber skin. Bombs of filth bursting into your mouth." (p.27).
As the condom splits the time comes to spit rather than swallow.
( ah shit the standard of journalism today......... sori. )

ON SERIOUS STUFF
This blog has tried in the past to open up a few big things ( like the legs of LB, with very little success) and this blog must take some blame for the present "anomie" condition.
However, without trying to whinge and cringe, imp or whimp, this blog finds a trend towards a far too independent positioning. This alienates the necessary ideological structure of truth and reason. The significant centre is debased and alienated through such open systems of anything-goes, so long as it pays, labour.
In a word.
I FUCKED UP and I helped kill so many in the process.
( I now go off to Yellow Duck and Anticant for therapy).
Please forgive me I want my legacy.

COMING CLEAN AND PURE
What can be said when a daughter gets paid to perform on stage in a theatre production? What can be said when this ole Zola attended with both pride and prejudice mixed with Hans Christian Andersen. What can be said? What happens when our sprogs show us the way? What happens when worlds are turned upside down?
What happens when we compare our loved ones to the buds of May when those darling buds of May sing in June-times? What happens?
BTW : Southwold is one of the places soon to be visited on the UK tour. Girls school near by and Adnams Ale too.

European Citizenship Exams - Revisted
You may take my finger prints and my DNA.
You may take my e-mail address too.
But will you get me where you want me?
Will you get just what you want?
Sorri
I read Kafka
Once
But now I am OK
But still you hound me.
Alas the exams are coming for citizenship. After years of slow-moving sillibuss travels the exams are coming. The song " Burma Days Are Here Again" springs to mind and this reminds me of one of those questions. The exam begins.
What would be the questions for a European Citizenship Diploma examination?
Here is a starter ( giving but two of a twenty question Grand Exhibition Sillibus)
1) What did you understand by the book "Burmese Days"?
2) Who has really benefited from the "European Union" legislation(s)?

USUAL APOLOGIES FROM MESELF
Due to the eternal return(s) and the curses of my class I was writing things for money. This Zapp was Yuked and ducked again . The only good thing about it all was the uni-lot did damned good work and the administration must think again. No there was another little goodie too. Some complaints came to a newspaper saying that my work was not objective. Oh yes and I get paid.
A few things got edited out from my polite texts for public consumption however. One was the : "the students need to be given time to study critical alternatives".
Another was ( concerning the G8 and Bush-Bliar performance as of Thursday - to be printed on Friday) was this : " The "Decline and Fall", as witnessed by the likes of Evelyn Waugh, related to this G8 fate - a suicide gate to Orwellian heaven - was all to do with poor old Pennyfeather who went "WITHOUT TROUSERS" and got caught. And when our Pennyfeather became a teacher he looked at his room at the college where there was : " Over the chimneypiece a green baize notice-board covered with lists..."

NEWS FLASH
Three suspicious individuals, dressed in Edwardian costume, are being hunted down right now by Italian police. One police official said that : " these three people seemed to be a little foreign and they were seen to be dancing upon the grave of Percy Bysshe Shelly. This was after a boating trip. There was also a strong wine smell everywhere".
But we are told that this may not become a diplomatic incident. Time will tell.

HOW CAN MERE MORTALS HANDLE USA-UK HEGEMONY ?
It is time to give the protesters, the bloggers and the social movement groups more and more intellectual and public support. As the USA-UK ( in that pecking order) continues with hegemony ways, using all kinds of propaganda to constrain alternative voices, then it is time for all active citizens to make their voice loud and clear. Then more and more normally weak-willed and career minded politicians may feel the need to listen. From this the hawks might listen or be forced out. Of course this is a romantic notion but like all romantic notions it has a possibility.
In an age and a culture of "me" as "can you see the real me?" WE ALL can, without irony sing out loud the words from a popular song thus :-
" .... No short-haired yellow-bellied son of tricky dicky is gonna mother soft-soap me"
Could do worse, could do worse......

FOOTIE GUYS AND GIRLS GOOD LUCK
The next week will be a big week for Finland. Football is more important than Nokia. Nokia Land has always been a piece of propaganda. At least Finnish footballers do play for Finland !
I like football because folk can play the game with next to nothing. Just a few people and one ball. That is all it needs. I like that. Hope Finland does well. Hope they qualify for their first ever European tour for the cup.
I am too old to help them and I guess they do not need my help anyway. The last time I played in Finland was with a small local team ( who later reached the top league) and I got sent off!!! Jesus. I was only invited to play and not even on the books. But I did help them to learn. How can a small defender "de-stablise" a big attacker? If you need to ask this question you cannot afford me.

MOST PEACEFUL COUNTRY ?
Norway seems to be labelled right now as the most peaceful country. Finland is placed in the top 10. The UK way down as the USA somewhere unmentionable. But this is now time to repeat at least one statistic from the "goodly Finland".
About three out of every ten women get beaten to shit by Finnish men. Peaceful?
Who wants to play ice-hockey next?

MELANCHOLIC WORKAHOLICS DO MATURE
Aki Kaurismäki the Finnish film-maker has turned 50 years of age. It is a kind of blessing for him he says. He can now forget the bullshit and concentrate on a reasonable death. But there is more. He seems, today, to find a maturity emerging which will get political before it eats his heart out. He seems on the road to re-write Kafka although any happy ending is certainly not on those cards. Anyway the Finnish government can consider what he has said recently to a Helsinki newspaper : " There has never been a more pathetic government running a worse country than we've got now. "
Bloody hell that could have been Winsten Churchill ranting on about "never has there been a more ....." ( I leave you to link Churchill and Finland just for the fun of it).

ACCOUNTABILITY ?
I have been trying to get information concerning both direct and indirect costs of the latest Tony Blair world trip. Is there any tax payer in the UK that knows or can help?
By The Way : many might feel that Blair should remain in North Africa for a long period of contemplation in the deserts of his mind and ethical codes but this is not what I am after right now. How much did his latest trip cost?

AT LAST : EUROPE FINDS WORK FOR PSYCHOLOGISTS
The recent waves of protest, especially in places like Poland, have found something of a solidarity in the EU and the USA. Our "Tinky Winky" is not really gay at all but a damned menace to society. This purple tellytabby has provided, at long last, a research project for psychologists that really suits those kinds of talented lost souls. This is a worthy link. It was about time we found sensible work for psychologists.
Message to psychologists : You deserved it.

Lessons From Lord Anthony
As holiday fever all too often becomes a misadventure the lessons are there to be learnt from the demise of Lord Anthony ( for objective reporting on this see best-selling rag of the UK, News of the Screws) who played one too many a game with the providers from the service sector.
As there are aspidistra types frequenting this site I feel a public duty to make a call for caution when frolicking on the Continent. I am even considering make a website to campaign for health warning labels on continental travel documents.
It seems that one can never be too careful nowadays.

A BANK HOLIDAY : GOD BLESS US ALL
It seems to be that the UK ( as in yuk) celebrates a Bank Holiday or so I am told. Is the bank holiday a "time" for justifying bankers ( with a B not a W) as they take secure anti-risk-time through the misfortunes of those "others"?
Is this bank holiday time a time when the money remains in circulation and for the profitable future markets to continue being on holiday vis-a-vis "THE REST".
Since when has a banker ever been away from a holiday I ask.
However I hope this holiday period is enjoyable for all. Holiday time is a time to spend and to mend the fragile-self is it not? Holiday time is a time to consume happiness itself is it not.
But. But sometimes a holiday is just what we all need. A wake-up time? Ahdunno....

Have You Ever Made Notes On The Margins and then forgot the idea ?
Came up against a page of a book yesterday. In the margins was a comment in ".."s and written there to remind me to check this out so that my memory could be verified. The quote in the margins was :-
" Religion never has you faltering
In the belief that you not they need altering "
Now I cannot find where I got that quote from damit !
But I still like it.

TWO MORE LIFE-LONG BURNERS : MORE "SERIOUS FUN"
After a period of bone-idleness and pure depravity this Zola surfed the new sites on the blogosphere and found two rogues getting rigged up for the fray. Two life-long burners illuminate what is mostly a very grey and conservative medium.
Yes the Merkin and Trousers have agreed to be public scapegoats for all our troubles.
When I get even more active I will put them on me list of rogues ( which needs updating anyway so I'm told).
Serious fun? Indeed always that which the conservatives dislike and the utilitarians cannot stand. Roll over Jeremy Bentham, listen to that Trousers and Merk .....

IMPORTANT THINGS OR FINANCIAL IN$URANCE ?
No doubt in my mind. The easier something is to in$ure the more the absurdity-value emcompasses the transaction.
Related to this if something can be in$ured it is not really necessary for the good life.
When something is insured then the real life-game is lost.
In$ure my life anyone?

A GENERATION, or three, THAT HAS NOT REALLY LIVED
Recently our resident senior and historic scribe, Anticant, has claimed that the lousy state of today can be traced back many years. If not to the failed elitism of Reith then at least to the pessimism of a W.B.Yeats which is the failure of a "Second Coming" in the 20th century. Indeed the sperm count is rather low today anyway so who cares, in fact. But Anticant has a good point. Excitement, for example, today is a "Happy Consciousness" at best ( devoid of real excitement that always includes disaster areas and failures) or, at worst, a consumer consuming well insured and standardised fun. If it was the 1970s that really showed this move to a generation that had not even begun to live it was the damned Americanised 1950s of Harold Mcmillan and his "never had it so good" copy of the USA standard of excellence that gave birth to this McDonaldised world of yuk.
Forget the political economy or even the BBC priests of rightousness. Such evidence is banal. Forget the insipid inspirations from public schools and Oxbridge in their rally against Fordism and scientific management. As any social historian worth her salt knows it is the "things that really matter and the things that mean" which are evidence. With this reality check in mind let me "inkspot" the situation by using real evidence of the coming of a generation that has never really lived.
We look to crisps. In fact "SMITHS CRISPS". There was a time when those crisps in the packets were an adventure. The packet was often sealed so the crisps remained crisp and dry. But there were many times when that packet was not quite sealed well enough and the crisps were rather damp and soggy even. To select a packet of Smiths Crisps was an adventure. But there was more. Inside every packet was a small blue bag filled with salt. Those that wanted to salt their crisps would take this small blue bag and open it and then sprinkle the salt to taste. Those not wanting salt would throw the bag away or pour it down a male or female shirt or blouse. This was real life and excitement.
Sometimes this small blue bag of salt would, however, also be damp. To open a bag of crisps in those years was to live on the threshold of risky times. Liminality OK !
Of course there is and was a moral to this atmospheric condition. Those understanding the sensuous adventure will no doubt embrace heartily this "bildung" but those of the generations that have not really lived will misconstrue real life as an appropriate act of sickly SATS and PRATS - "all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same".

FILLER FROM THE BLOGGING TIMES inc
Apparently bloggers have been visiting pschologists and even psyco-therapists rather much over the last few years. The following story has come to my notice.
Blogger goes to therapist and complains that nobody takes his blog seriously and few even bother to chat or take notice at all.
Reply back from Therapist ( to the reception secretary) : " Next please".

CONVERSATIONS WITH A JUDGE
Last night I made small talk with a judge. I asked him about the Man Utd versus Chelski match seeking his opinions on this event today.
He replied : " Oh yes, I remember well Ken Barrington, an excellent stopper and a joy to watch. Even a few of those foreigners were with a spark of excitement. Do you recall Wes Hall? He used to take five minutes to deliver one ball after running from the boundry line. Then there was those wonderful Yorkshire players, Truman and Boycott. I told the prime minister at the time that this was an example for the working class and trades unions to work well with the solid and slow moving gents of the establishment. They did not listen and it was unfortunate that our solid and slow Boycott lost faith in the establishment and we all know where that led us. But, yes, i enjoy sport it keeps me in touch with everyday life. By the way is it one of those one day matches?"

BREAKING WIND-E-NEWS
Rumour is about that lifestyle columns are warming up to THE BURROW. It all began when the resident judge Anticant complained that budgets were cut so there would be no new decorational improvements. The questions then were asked. Why? Where has all the money gone?
Then a "News of the World" investigator caught wind of the cash transactions and the future plans of THE BURROW. We can, it is rumoured, look forward to a new player in the Burrow team. The present team of Anticant, Ben and the Beadle has been felt to be too much like that infamous "Old Lady" living aloof on Threadneedle Street in contempt of the real public. A new public face was needed it was said. Typically a contract was signed in secret and a new body was signed up to this venerable institution.
Soon we can look forward to a certain "Fan Like Fanny The Friday Night Club Queen" showing the BURROW in a new light and as an addition to the conservative ways of the past. Questions are being asked as the intrique increases. Some are fearing that the nice and polite BURROW will become yet another victim of Rupert the bear.

COLLECTIVE CYBER VISITATIONS
The recent successes of Finnish websites ( and Estonian sites, even governmental) after the Eurovision Song Contest has turned back on itself. The Finnish State run YLE site has been simply overloaded. This far we learn that Eastern Europe has been involved in sending so many posts to the site and in the end blocking it. Prime Minister, Matti Vanhanen, is due to say in public that he personally loved the wonderful songs from the Warsaw Pact.
After talks with George W Bush the EU and NATO representatives are agreeing to blame Putin for this cyber-war. But, as one Russian source said : " Putin is not that good with computer technology you know although he has been known to enjoy My Space."
Rumours circulate that comment is free sites are being controlled in preemptive fashion so that's all right then.
One does fear for the increasing popularity of THE BURROW though......
BREAKING WIND-E-NEWS : Latest news is that the NATO operations that are going on now had included in their programme a new look at cyber-wars. This information comes from the Ukraine ( who were, it was said, very happy with their second place in the Eurovision contest with their song Lusha Go Home). Questions are being asked now about NATO involvement. Cyber-wars should, it is said, be included under the NATO portfolio for global oppression.
Latest Update : In the last half hour news has been coming in. A question raised by the Latin American officials concerns the content of these messages that block websites involved in NATO operations. Was it true that these messages were from World Bank boss Wolfitwitch and related to the scandels of past and present World Bank officials?

HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE TAKE OF THIS ?
As far as I can make out the latest US inspired Blairite campaign involves targeting the unborn babies in the name of the grand social order. This seems to me like the kind of anti-social engineering of Blair and Bush and others of that kind. It is now clear that those connections made between Bush and Blair and Hitler were not so dumb.
First why "target". What a damned nasty term. Targets are to aim at before firing and shooting. Targets are to be blown away. This is akin to the UK language games of people being told to "KILL SPEED". The whole langauge game of the UK is foul. It is built upon aggression and ideological agression at that. It worries me.
Will the UK target the likes of a Beethoven?
Who is to blamed and shamed next we ask? If the unborn are already targets then god help the rest.
I wish I could cancel my UK trip this summer but I would find that rather difficult due to other people and promises of the human kind.
But maybe i misread the signs of the UK condition today.

MORAL CULTURES "AT-A-DISTANCE" ?
There have been a few deep and serious comments from bloggers ( Yellow Duck and Anticant and Ms Melancholy to name a few from recent blogs) all concerning the human touch and blogs. Some may ask for an ethics of the blogosphere. Others might, as I do, see this as a moral culture struggling to be human from a distance. I have taken seriously the recent social theorists, like Zygmunt Bauman for example, who also struggle with this possibility of a postmodern arena finding a moral culture that is NOT "face-to-face".
Bauman would ask us to keep struggling ( even when there is no certainties of outcome and no possible perfection) to build bridges and to travel with morality. We have trains and boats and planes to help our feeble bodies travel across borders and we need the same kinds of "travelling aids" to move in social worlds that are increasingly electric and computerised and .... at-a-distance. The traditional morality was face-to-face and this does not work with a blogosphere.
In another way of saying ( my way of saying ) we travel from place to place and we avoid those "SPACES OF ADVENTURE" through various techniques. The blogs are often struggling in those "spaces" still.
The question also comes that : do we really want to make an adventure space into a safer PLACE and if so why?
For those already falling asleep or getting ready to yell BORING I can only make this promise. Tommorrow I will blog differently.

ADVICE NEEDED
The normally stay-at-home Zola must travel to the UK this summer for about 10 days. There was a time when this would be banal but today ....? I find myself asking strange questions like what should i take with me. What should I avoid. What planet am I to visit? Any kindly worldly advice will be appreciated. By all accounts things have changed rather much since my last visit and especially since my last living there - over 30 years ago.
Do I still use the word "Thank You"? If I am lost, soon to be lost or drunk and totally lost do I still ask a policeman for help? Do convents still have high walls demanding climbing expertise? Do I still avoid using the word cheers when taking a drink with others?

PERVERSITY CHALLENGE 1
Due to dwindling sales the all too often absentee landlord of this site has sexed it up a bit with a new regular feature : "Perversity Challenge".
All very simple really. You just need to identify the rogues or answer the questions.
Here is yer starter ( first prize a midnight meeting with lavenderBlue on Hampstead Heath) and good luck.
Identify the two people involved in the conversation :-
" Your connection with any newspaper would be a disgrace and a degradation. I would rather sell gin to poor people and poison them that way. "

FOOD FOR THOUGHT AND ACTION
Your Zola has never been a big fan of the ruthless business class or the ideology that comes with these nasty brutish and short-termed beings with ever lengthening noses. If anybody doubts this then let me throw more strawberries to elephants thus :-
" Suppose that, as a result of using up all of the world's resources, human life did come to the end. So what? "
( from Australia and the "Business and Society Review )
On a serious Saturday ( trying to escape the Eurovision Song Contest fever that is sweeping Finland and spreading banality everywhere like shit hitting a fan) I am slowly coming to a soft conclusion that a response to the Australian comment is one necessary action for any future.

THE BLIAR DOES IT AGAIN
Now we hear that the Right Honourable Bliar has been spinning again.
Bobby Moore ( a damned good half-back and more) is now a symbol of UK under Bliarism. Blair praises a football guy to praise himself - to praise Blair, himself.
This Toni Bliar tribute is really an insult to Bobby Moore.

HOW TO CUT THAT CYNICISM KNOT ?
For sometime now I have felt a strong sense of cynicism eating at my life-blood. I began to live in a kind of fear. Was indifference to be the next step? Indifference the last refuge of the repressed and the seduced. Jesus wept !
Climbing out, up and away from this crevasse of ice remains, I realise now, a constant struggle. The ideal to climb out is one essential ingredient for survival. In a sense this, it seemed to me, was a labour of love. OK for that. Vital it may be for May-Being. But vitality is not easy.

THANK MERCY FOR A WONDERFUL ROYAL PERFORMANCE
Unless you read only the newspapers from Blatcherite countries like the UK you will find a fairly solid and collective European response to the hopeful Royal in the coming French Presidential elections. Last night, during a long TV debate with the typical male and right wing bigot (that will follow Bush and Blair but with more image value), she showed her mettle and she showed her resolve. She was not fooled, as many women have been in the past, with the sick condescending tricks of those strong male leaders of the Right Wing. She was sight for sore eyes and a breath of fresh air. Very many in Europe this morning realised that and many of the 20 million TV viewers on France will also think again before finding a French woman as a no-hope for president.
For those living in the UK it is suggested that a read of a few other newspapers are in order to appreciate the truly Royal performance last night. She stood up and would not be moved when it came to injustice and continued ( if covert) oppression of everyday folk.
If this Royal woman makes president this man here will jump for joy. She has enthused a very tired body and brain.
Viva la Royal performance.

AFTER REPEATED REQUESTS IN LABOUR DAY
I seems that some folk do not understand a "Labour Day". This would seem to be one more arena of global thinking! In my last post I did assume far too much for those that only give and take with measured-value. But all is not lost. Gender-on-heat.
Labour Day was one day in the year when men celebrated the child-bearing females as being equal and valuable. It was also a day when men demanded better working conditions and better wages. It was like "Onward Christian Solidarity, Marching as to War, with the Cross of a Centre-Left Government, spinning on before ....."
It was a day that the pubs found glorious and it was yet another day when humanity was split from arse to tit. One day, maybe, it will all come out in the wash that men do.
May 1st was also an International Day for folk and with folk. It was that way. Believe me it was. Once. There was once few times when suffering was .....................
Now who will give me a Romantic definition of that which we pretend to talk about?

AFTER 200 SEXY POSTS LET'S GET TO SPERM
Old Wolfyprick and his business stuff remains bankable.
If you want a Wolfyprick sperm you can get it from the net.
Good business may not be ethical
Ethical business may not be moral
Bad sperm may not be regulated .... (thank God Banks)
It is enough to forget that International Labour Day is almost beginning.
Anybody have a Toni Blair brain for sale?
Expensive we know ( never been used volkswagons have always been popular)
But just think of the possibilities.
I blame the Sherpas on Everest meself.

An Idiot Returns Eternally
" He had been registered under the names of Jean Marie Mathieu Valot, but he was never called anything but Mademoiselle. He was the idiot of the district, but not one of those wretched ragged idiots who live on public charity."
Did Mr Hemingway really beat the shit of out this guy?
Guy de Maupassant remains standing up in the boxing ring.
Anyway what else is one to do when stuck in the bed with thoughts?
What are we all to do as idiots and ragged rascals in public?
Can I win the lottery this week?
If I can I promise to pay more taxes.
Trust me.

Corrections
Concerning the cutting off penis syndrome it has been rightly said that many males also suffered from this act of morality. They are also in a London hospital. Penis transplants are also up by 269 points on the Footsee index. The post before should not have made a male and female divide.

NEWS LATEST
Male cuts off penis in eating establishment. After having his car confiscated this male member of society decided to get real. He cut his penis away. He wanted, it is reported, to show himself as a real man without car. Afterwards, as he wept, a BUN reporter heard him say " It was never really mine anyway". When asked why he did this act in public he replied that it "was to educate" and "to make a stand".
At the same time the hospitals are full of patients suffering from trauma. It seems that many of the females, in that big London restaurant, were shocked. A Doctor there said that there were two categories of trauma. The first and the largest in number was a kind of penis envy that was so badly taken away through such an awful act. Lost now in a lost world was how one therapist described it. The second was a kind of self-hatred because many had wanted to do this act themselves but had never quite found the wherewithall to actually do it. So far penis meat has not hit the headlines but it may not take too long before it hits the menu. ( not sure what to mix it with however but .... we wait...)
Anyway London is full to the brim with trauma cases right now. Tourist agents advise the routes to Manchester where the penis syndrome has yet to be discovered and where the football is better. But then it all depends on your character and your taste.
I did try to send this male penis cutter to all the Awks but I was too slow it seems. He only got to Yellow Duck and then blew a big wobbler.
This is not to blame Yellow Duck, of course, but a question has been raised, in the higher ponds, as to the side-effects of the "Pond".

GEORGE DAY TODAY : a saint for some
Some celebrate today, April 23rd, as a "Saint George" day. Or should I say that a few people do this. But in the UK that old gas-bag, liar and career politician, Jack Straw, even finds time to write about this in newspapers and to brown-nose his future Brown hole in power. ( That is not courage Jack boy that is simply a repeat performance of your student days where to run was to get ahead). But brown-nosed Jack did not lick the arse of our other George in Europe. Finland also celebrates George day today.
Yrjö. Yes YRJÖ is the same as George in Finnish language. Today is Yrjö day. What connection is there between this and Jack Straw bending down on his knees yelling George? Let me tell you.
The Yrjö call is a famous call down the white telephone. This Yrjö call is often called at least three times. George, George, George, it goes, down that white telephone.
For the Finnish ear it is Yrjö as ERR-REE-YAAAAAAA.
Pissed again Mr Jack?
May I call you down the white telephone sir?

PROCESSED PEAS WITH A TASTELESS MINT
Psycohologistists and manageniment-trainers are in the same pre-packed tin. Somebody said that once but I cannot remember that far back. Process, process, process has been a kind of "in" word ( never a reasonable concept) and that "in-word" has really found an entry into funding systems.
Why do processed things get funding?
A question that will not get funding!
I think it was the 1960s when processed peas became normal.
By the 1970s processed peas were the rage.
By 2007 processed peas were the "will-be-must-be-world" of Natural Morality.
I was going to say something more but I have already forgot it all.
History confuses me.
" Somebody help me there, somebody help me there ..... tell me where I went wrong....

CONFESSIONS OF A BLOG SNIFFER
The narccissistic nature of blogging often twists itself arse about face. Confessions are coming everywhere as if they were out of fashion.
So here are three confessions from a Zola seeking salvation :-
- ought not to have placed an official flag at half mast on the death of John Lennon.
- ought not to have been involved in both a groom and a best man being placed in jail the night before the wedding. This especially as I was that bestman.
- ought not to have placed bra and panties on the flag pole of a highly rated hotel and ought not to have laughed when the newspapers printed a picture of this deed.
For these deeds the Sunday Zola confesses.
But mesuspecks there are others in this lark of blogopeers that need to confess too and need to feel the spiritual glow at finally coming clean.
So by the power vested in me I will hear your confessions on each and every Sunday.
Warning : Best book early to stop Anticant and Lavenderblue filling the net to overfill and crashing the whole damned thing.

ANNUAL MESSAGE FROM ZOLA TO THE QUEEN
Madam Queen : Happy Birthday to you at 81 years of age. The world owes you.
Note : It has come to my notice that your world ( built upon the theme of Common Wealth ) has been re-structured in such a way that your well deserved pension has been placed at risk. This, we all feel, is unjust. We propose a return to the Common Wealth where pensions are honoured. This especially so since we know that your heating bills for the coming winter will be massive. What can be done?

WHY I LIKE THOSE AWKS
Why does anyone put up with all the muses of the Awks? Why indeed. Those silly old wits like Anticant, Boldscot and Trousers are really there to tempt us into reflection. It is damned inconvenient but necessary. lavenderblue is not an old fart like those others mentioned above but she is equally a temptress always in disguise. That fluffy and all so cuddlesome Yellow Duck is equally a thorn in the flesh of certainties of the self. Why does anybody put up with all this traditional table talk on the blog?
Are the peasants revolting yet again? Maybe.
Are the (anti)intellectuals getting a grip again? Maybe.
Were the open(ed) knickers of the Guardian of Truth displaying a destiny that was never called for? Perhaps.
But I like it.
It is not that simple but I like it.
What the fuck more do you expect for a Friday!
It used to be pay day but today it is a new debt day.

MIS-EDUCATION : called "training, training and training.
Can you imagine philosophy ( with a small "p") activated in schools? I have been trying to find out the European way. Norway is one country that enjoys philosophy in schools and for those young folk that are about 8 years old or more.
Of course non-Western societies may work a philosophy too but in Europe there seems to be few Nation States that even contemplate allowing philosophy for kids or teenagers or adult education centres. Is Norway the only one?
One argument I found myself involved with was from a UK "expert". He insisted that philosophy was only for those that had really lived and experienced the world. This was an adult thing, he said. Philosophy is not for kids!
Thank you UK.
Strange though that as a kid in the UK my philosophical adventures of the mind were so strong even as I asked simple questions like who am I? What is up there in the sky? Do I belong to this sky? I certainly did not belong to the UK ways. I asked too many questions. To be child-like was to admit philosophy in some way. A good way.
What the fuck happened to adventure education? Why was philosophy denied to the kids that are alright anyway? Why? What happened I ask.
Or am I merely an Angry Old Man?

STOP PRESS fragments
One son of Zola has signed a new recording contract. His band enjoyed the party which was paid for by the record company. Could not get contact this morning. he must be very busy writing new songs.
If the warm weather keeps on like this in Lapland we will see the ice melt in one of our famous lakes ( Kilpisjarvi) before June. Normally we wait until the first week of July for that event.
The clean white snows of the north are melting to show the rubbish once hidden. Oh if only there was a good scrap merchant around so I could relive my childhood going around collecting scrap and rags and papers and to sell them to nasty Dickens type characters. Is that nostalgia?
Comment recently : " Can you justify lecturing again when the young lecturers need the work?". My reply would not gain me credits.........

NEW FOREIGN POLICY GURU FOR FINLAND ?
As the new right of centre-right government spins its way ahead, after the elections and after the new backstage performances of career politicians, one surprise came that raised many an eyebrow.
The new Foreign Minister would be a certain infamous Ilkka Kanerva who is famous mainly for being over 30 years in politics ( achieving very little) and for his conquests of certain female beings ( his text messages have often hit the headlines). He is thought to have a very diplomatic bedside manner as evidenced by his past success rates. He is, of course, conservative through and through.
But at the same time, as this news broke, Finns were told that the infamous Pamela Anderson ( yes the big boobs-job celebrity ) would be visiting Finland soon.
Jesus wept does the new Foreign office work that quickly?

SERIOUS STUFF IN THE BACKYARD
Corvus Corine and Pica Pica agree to differ and carry on in peace.
That disgusting songbird, the hooded crow, has finally made peace with the magpie. Every year these two families yell and flap about as if war is good. They make their nests and home ground in the trees. About 50 metres apart this year. But they behave in a terrible fashion as if they were trying to be a copy of Yellow Duck and Szwagier on a good day. Anybody who thinks that that silly old twit Anticant is always yapping at Zola should try the magpie and hooded crow. Anticant is mild in comparision. Still a silly old twit but a mild silly old twit.
It all makes work for the working man to do.....
But wait for it as the young will hatch. Then our cat will get it. But until then we are blessed with a peaceful period.

A Long Lost Quote That Remains Alive
" My candle burns at both ends ;
It will not last the night ;
But ah, my foes, and oh my friends -
It gives a lovely light ! "
No idea where I got this from. It was written down on a piece of paper in the 1980s sometime and connected to mountains. As I read again that paper it was clear that it was stained. Had I pissed on it? Such is life I guess. Never take books to the mountains.

National Accident Day In Finland : Friday April 13th.
Holy shit thou tempts those seeds of destruction methinks. As the new right of centre right misgovernment in Finland argues about careers and status Finland claims today as the National Accident Day. Whatever next. Fuck me I am stunned. Fell over a minute ago and that woke me up. The ice is still around. Is it possible for a government like this to avoid an accident just waiting to happen? But mercy is the cry.
Thou that takest away the sins of the world have mercy......
Damn it we all make mistakes.

Reality Feedback for those glorious Royal Marines
Facts are facts, cannot change that, so long as you believe me. Let me tell you a story.
During a 6 week training course that would help lead to Royal Marine status I met the only black guy. His name was Adom. He was fantastic in athletic ability but he had been sent to the UK for "training" as he was was considerd a deviant in his native Africa. His parents were very respectable just like the Royal Marines.
One day in the gym when we were all trying to jump over two wooden horses placed long ways ( which is one hell of a jump ) our Adom showed beauty and truth. He floated over those two wooden horses as others smacked themselves all over the place. Adom did it and he did it in style.
His reward?
That same day, at evening time, Adom was given duties. To march around the parade ground ( see J.Swift and Gulliver to get the mathematics of this long haul) and to march around the parade ground with a rifle held ABOVE his head. Royal Marines are beautiful people that we can trust (sic) Very sick! Two hours of very sick rewards from the UK. His parents approved of this.
When Adom came back to the group he was totally fucked.
At that time i was not strong enough to complain or revolt. But at that time i did learn a thing or two.
They tried to break him UK style, Royal Marine style.
But Adom was a natural artist.
He pissed people off but he never did things for that reason.
he was as he was.
He was good.
Why did the Royal Marines dislike him?

His parents were very respectable just like the Royal Marines.
One day in the gym when we were all trying to jump over two wooden horses placed long ways ( which is one hell of a jump ) our Adom showed beauty and truth. He floated over those two wooden horses as others smacked themselves all over the place. Adom did it and he did it in style.
His reward?
That same day, at evening time, Adom was given duties. To march around the parade ground ( see J.Swift and Gulliver to get the mathematics of this long haul) and to march around the parade ground with a rifle held ABOVE his head. Royal Marines are beautiful people that we can trust (sic) Very sick! Two hours of very sick rewards from the UK. His parents approved of this.
When Adom came back to the group he was totally fucked.
At that time i was not strong enough to complain or revolt. But at that time i did learn a thing or two.
They tried to break him UK style, Royal Marine style.
But Adom was a natural artist.
He pissed people off but he never did things for that reason.
he was as he was.
He was good.
Why did the Royal Marines dislike him?

ROYAL MARINES ROYAL MARINES
The "Corp" Royal Marines. Tradition. Land and sea together. Half the world from the UK and the other half from the USA. ( Check the badges). Divide and rule?
Sori mate.
Shit. Back inside and with the spuds I guess.
Or ..... giving me hat to a stripper....
Or fading away with Kipling .... just fading away.
Royal Marines, Royal Marines
The best best in all the universe
The best you have ever seen.
" In the depths of deepest Africa where the Yanks have never been
Lies a body of a Zulu warrior fucked to death by a Royal Marine,
Royal Marines, Royal Marines
We are the best in all the universe
We are the worst you have ever seen.
In the depths of white antartica where the yanks have never been
Lies a body of a polar bear
Fucked to death by a Royal Marine.
Royal Marines, Royal Marines
We are the best in all the universe we are the the best you have ever seen.
Collect your GREEN hat by clicking in.
But there are no polar bears in Antartica.
What you need is training.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Thanks from a polite blogger. Bloggers are nice.
Thank you very much thank you very very very much.
Thank you to Finnish politicians for being with us poor plebes. You all deserve your second pay increase in one year. Bloggers are happy at this and will even blog for free to help the balanced economy.
Thank you to all those Finnish CEO's who achieved 30 and 40 % increases in income. It was quite correct for so many Finns to be made unemployed. Those unemployed should have taken out shares many years ago. Shame on them. let them now learn a lesson.
Thank you Tony Halme ( mentioned before here on my blog) for mistreating women and drugs and guns and all that. Thanks for your honest work in government as a nationalist representative. You deserved your pension which is more in a week than an unemployed will get in a month or more. Let the unemployed learn a lesson from your wisdom.
Is it not nice to be polite and is it not wonderfully correct.
Please vote Zola as the most polite blogger on the www messwork.

Easter Fangs and Tings and Pingpong Balls
I would kill for a nice chocolate egg.
I love you all.
I need a chocolate sweetie to die for.
Have targets will manage.
Aimless
Armless
Alienated
As I hop down the pathways like a rabbit, in heat of the Springtime madness,
Laughing at my absurdity.
Better that than believing in all that other crap I say.
Back to the hops.

SELF-INTEREST AT EASTER TIME
Why oh why do people self-destruct?
Ok politicians get better wage increases than us voters. Ok we pay big business to promote free trade ideology. Ok we have holidays.
Cross my heart and hope to die I cannot believe in Easter.
BTW : We hear that Bliar and Brown from the UK tresspassers.inc are going to make another sacrifice in Scotland. They do it to teach the others a lesson.?

LUMENE THE RADIANT GENE : Old Bags Unpacked
Age Defying Intensive Care AND Vitamin + and all in the "Lumene" package.
Just unpacked one of my old travelling bags. In it I found tissues from aeroplane giveaways mixed with a couple of shampoo samples. Wow! This "Lumene" pack of tissues is just what I need because I am worth it. Opened up the sachet and the damned tissue was dry and like a apricot after a summer of sun backed snake skins has been at it.
Lumene and your radiant gene and vitamin + really must do better than this if you are to claim an "age defying" ingredient.
Maybe i write to complain at www.lumene.com
Why tease a poor Zola at Springtime?

BOOKS THAT CHANGE OUR WORLDS
Have books ever helped to change our own world(s)? Have internet text(ed) worlds changed things? Have words ever worked with deeds of the flesh? Has the word ever become a deed? Ah, that is interesting. Not boring anyway.
" Let The Dice Decide" and refuse God because God does not play dice with the world. But let us refuse God. God is dead !
" Let the dice decide".
The Luke Rhinehart novel of 1971 called "The Dice Man" remains scary to politicos and academicos all even today.
Throw the die and dice as you will me old Dion. Make a meme-noble-moment :
1. Read the book
2. Go fuck the bank manager or (s)his spouse or partner
3. Refuse to read the book and watch TV
4. Make a blogsite.
5. Go fuck as many of your neighbours as you can in 48 hours.
6. Go kayaking or canoeing at night-time and naked.
