my mother was always trying to get me to stck my little finger out whenever I drank a cup of tea.

In her mind, this was posh.

She feared I would be ‘common’, a term you don’t hear so much now.

Hitler used to stick his little finger out while drinking a cuppa.

on the chatsite, when I went (not sure whether I’ll go again – maybe or maybe not :? ), there seemed to be a very old-fashioned attitude to gay men.

I once shared a flat with an older gay guy and he had fascinating stories to tell about the period before homosexuality was leagalised.

In Hampstead Heath, the gays used to meet at midnight. He said…[Read more]

Rule Britannia!

I hate watchng football (playing with mates I always enjoyed, when younger), but I watched this for about 20 mins after being caught by pepperpot’s pleas for prayer.

Even as inexperienced an eye as mine could see that God Himself couldn’t help that team.

oops, Richard van Dyke should be D i c k van Dyke. Thank you Richardheads of JC censorship committee.

both villages are next to the village of Great Snoring, whihc you get to after a certain amount of pleasurable work – again Google map it, it’s true.

I so hope the Olympic Committee are going to employ the unemployed to dance around Maypoles merrily, watched on by smiling bobbies on bikes. All teh kids could have smutty faces and cockney caps so…[Read more]

Surely rural areas in this country are just like rural areas in other countries but without the cricket?

Nooo..we live in a very varied countryside. Go to the Northumberland coast, or the fens, the rich countryside around Worcestershire, the mountain passes north of Stirling……and compare with the French countryside around…[Read more]

Not sure what you mean, cosy.

Stiffkey and Cockthorpe are two villages near one another – really. Google map it.

and the vicar really was defrocked for attending nude revues at the Windmill Theatre during the war. He just couldn’t keep away from…[Read more]

most villages are pretty wrecked as rural communities now…commuter villages for the rich, paranoid abut outsiders, criss-crossed by roads and expensive pubs, sky-high rates and house prices at the cor-blimey level so that locals can’t afford to live there.

Mind you..I was driving through some pretty villages in northern Norfolk today. Passed by…[Read more]

well, I put it in as my little barb at the problem families policy of the govt, tbh – that’s why I said the Camerons were a problem family.

The hypocrisy of the politicians who were so close to Rebekah Brooks and the Murdoch slander-merchants until recently! The Murdoch machine would have used everyday slipups about children to destroy any…[Read more]

I personally think that if this had been any other family, there would have been a media fuss and possibly some involvement from the authorities.

But it’s the Prime Minister and his wife, therefore, they couldn’t possibly be capable of child neglect, could they? :-s

Who knows what type of parents they are, they might be wonderful…

To m, the Camerons are now a problem family.

douhgnute Mae is F a n n i e Mae, the American housing agency. Another example of the ludicrous censorship practised by JC.

One of my posts concerning Philip K D i c k was turned into Phiulip K Richard by them. Add ‘heads’ to the author’s actual surname and you get a clearer idea of the censoring system practised here.

Terry,
I’m not going to spend my time going through a primer on economics. I’ve made my point – every modern developed economy relies on credit (the Chinese economy, too) – some are creditor economies and some are debtor economies. The crisis is a credit crunch, caused by the failure of the banking system.

I’ve never ever come across the idea you…[Read more]
