Pleasant midweek natter
I’d like to report that I’m as jober as a sudge after that marathon in Cheshire – not a bad place, Cheshire and an amazing discovery was made – an anthracite Maserati is not designed for slow travel. The real ale Spitting Feathers is also not designed for one glaththth only and it makes a welcome change after five months on antibiotics. Sadly, that mallard is no longer quacking.
Tom Paine? He’s as I imagined him, as tall as a skyscraper and a raconteur of countless tales of derring-do and proprietor of vast lands in Second Life. He also gets about a bit in Vittoria‘s Secret, with Vittoria advising him, in her dulcet tones, to take the fourth exit at the roundabout. Fourth exit, I said, not third! His porta-vids of Russian life provided the other entertainment but were too nostalgic for me.
Methinks there might be a bit of a snooze coming on. Thankee kindly, Thomas Paine, for the afternoon exceeding pleasant.

You are most welcome, I thoroughly enjoyed it. That’s a nice picture you found of Vittoria’s sluttier sister! Enjoy the snooze.
Good to see the internet is cut back on again.
The original Tom Paine was of course a Land Value Taxer, just in case you were wondering.
Yes, old Tom got a couple of things wrong. That one’s not surprising as the landed gentry looked like immovable enemies of social progress in his day (as opposed to pitiful relics now). But he was always all for liberty and instrumental in founding two great republics. Not to mention that “Common Sense” was the blogging equivalent of Da Vinci’s design for a helicopter – a blog post conceived in advance of the necessary technology.
Ah! Cheshire is far from a bad place I am quite fond of it myself
So glad you had a lovely time
BTW you weren’t that far away from me
Did you bring me a doggy bag, James?
