All the best to family & stuff. <br /><br /> Funny thing, on way to work. Have you seen 'A Month in the Country' avec Herr Branagh & wotshisface, Colin Firth? About a couple of lads who after the 1st world war were completely Bertie - mad as a box of frogs, but, being English, had to just get on with it and 'if you wouldn't mind shutting the fuck up, there's a good chap' so one restored a church and t'other fannied around in a cemetary under pretext of archeaology. Anywho, point of this is that the background was a village in t'Yorkshire and coming in to work today - nearly jumped off bus and wanted to run and hug a hill, a fucking hill, so fortunate am I to have these hills, immutable mother fuckers all of them but mine, my hills. Lucky cunt sometimes.<br /><br /> PS - cheers for matins - have it playing on t'other pute. All the best<br /><br /> DtPDick the Pricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-52823256064557904202010-06-14T23:10:51.587+01:002010-06-14T23:10:51.587+01:00I've been laid up with an alien invasion of ea...I've been laid up with an alien invasion of ear, nose and throat germs for a while now, complete with bedrest and jellied knees,reliant on the works of PG Wodehouse and Ishmael Smith to keep up my spirits - (alas that there is no new Stanislav). The denizens of the Drones Club - throwing bread rolls as they tuck into the nosebag - Gussie Fink-Nottle, The Rev.H.P. Stinker Pinker, "Catsmeat" Potter-Pirbright, "Oofy" Prosser and the rest are now joined by Sir Rupert Golightly-Jockstrap(retd.)Little changes. We are still ruled by the same old hegemony of the sons of the same old monied families educated in the same old places, clustering at the same old watering holes, some going into the armed services, some into politics, some into banking: all advancing the interests of their class at the expense of any other class and all pretending that they serve. Bread fight, anyone?Agathanoreply@blogger.com
