...but why is Mclay in court and Hide in parliament.
They did much the same thing, didn't they?...is there no pile of putrescent behaviour in this country that doesn't have that "Energiser bunny of evil", Rodney Hide, crawling from the core of it?

I saw an article that said ball-lightning
may be a myth...obviously they have never worn tight
rabbit fur and polyester underwear... -
It could be called Naked Afternoon Tea.
or The Wild Brunch

Bil bo roughs it...
Heh, I love that song. And now I have an extra vivid mental picture of 'mugwump jism', so... there's that.
We can fix that!
Dr Benway will see you now... -
doesn't smell like team spirit...
...the pilgrimage to Whisky Galore
Russell, did your dram-man have anything to say about the recently discovered cache of Shackleton's Mackinlay's Rare Old Whisky and the Australian Brandy down in Antarctica?
Personally I think it is a piece of obscene preciousness that they are returning all these "artefacts" to the ice - when most of them could be sold for a small fortune at auction, thus helping Antarctic preservation and research - at a time when they most need funds it is arrant madness! -

...who'd want to learn it?Frankly, I'd assume that's why French
is the language of diplomacy... -
Moroccan roll...
I am loving this band (discovered them thru writer/reviewer David Maine's blogspot), I'm wondering if the Bats / Minisnap's Paul Kean has some Tuareg blood... ;- )
Tinariwen have been round since the late '70s and their Blues is Niger/West African based not the US iteration - and let's face it the Tuareg are the original blue people ! -
Click Lit... a new genera of fiction?
He picked a Maybelline eyeliner from the drawer and stepped closer to the mirror. Shimmering Onyx. The perfect glossy black to distract attention from his compound eyes....
...Michael Laws curls his antennae into stylish sideburns, winks into the mirror and hisses "it's show time!"...

La Cucaracha...
a veritable Kafkanated Koffee Klatch...
at last a viable explanation for the enablers of the chittering classes...
...and now I understand my instinctive revulsion at Mike Yardley, Mike Hosking and their ilk!
