I have, therefore, been buying th odd newspaper - the Filtho-O-Graph, the Guardian and the Independent, sometimes the Scotsman, they are all ruinously expensive and they all tell lies, peddle fith and distortion, much worse than I remember, from the days when I was a newspaper junky, no more midnight visits, therefore, to their webshites.<br />And as for the readership, the commentariat on the threads, thay are largely Nazis of one sort or another, a collective, repressive and narrow-minded, with a hive view, someone like king caratacus, best wishes to his majesty, also, utters a word of dissent from the Guardianiste view and all Hell breaks loose. Let them write their own fucking newspaper, that's what i say, they pay themselves enough.call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-32941129400451502132016-01-01T11:09:56.269+00:002016-01-01T11:09:56.269+00:00Happy New Year to all, yes, should have a bumper c...Happy New Year to all, yes, should have a bumper crop of motherfuckerism this year.<br />yardarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08700165830593026578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-14096472652071136122016-01-01T10:31:32.658+00:002016-01-01T10:31:32.658+00:00A tuneful start to the New Year, Mr. I, thank you ...A tuneful start to the New Year, Mr. I, thank you muchly.<br /><br />All this mournful stuff about how the world is going to a hot place in a wheeled thingy ... I'm just grateful that we are led by such towering intellectual giants as Messrs Cameron, Osborne, Duncan Smith, Carney, et al.

Best of all, though, is Sicily, it's always deserted ancient streets, its sunny shores and dusty lanes.

Two big dogs and if needs be a missus will keep off the chill. We watched the London fireworks on the box and then I played the final scene from "V for vendetta" which went down a treat.<br />Best wishes to you and all Ishmaelians.<br />-richardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-19822912880797231832016-01-01T02:17:07.696+00:002016-01-01T02:17:07.696+00:00Sorry, I sem to have accidentally deleted a commen...Sorry, I sem to have accidentally deleted a comment, here.call me ishmaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369028864168461729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-63255042567508473692016-01-01T02:15:36.105+00:002016-01-01T02:15:36.105+00:00Yes, morning mr mike, and a fair dinkum '16 to...Yes, morning mr mike, and a fair dinkum '16 to y'all; me, too, I think that.
