This is not what I’d call living – coming home, ironing for two hours and crashing, waking up to post this and then crashing, to wake up tomorrow morning and off to work again. The thing is, I have a visitor this weekend and the place needs scrubbing from top to bottom. Pakistan

When it was showing in my younger days, I never understood how good the dubbed dialogue actually was. It would be lovely to see Seasons 1 and 2 again:

Interesting that economists refuse to look at the intent to bring down the markets by the slow drip-drip of Them through bodies such as the FOMC and the BIS, refusing to accept any mal-intent, they refuse to take seriously the omen of gold, refuse to listen to the pundits and they refuse to consider employment [...]

Nice people who did this, nice “religion of peace” So they actually did it, the Islamic savages – I missed it because on Mon-Wed, I’m usually a bit out of things. Poor, poor woman to have the misfortune to grow up a Muslim. Even worse to be anywhere near a Sharia state.

The only problem with the estimable Julia M is that she makes me angry – angry with the cretinous systems she reports on and the jobsworths they employ. If I go over to her place, there is always yet another example of public “moronicness” and inanity.

The good oil from Wiki: The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia, frigga, meaning “Friday” and triskaidekaphobia, or paraskevidekatriaphobia, a word derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Paraskeví (Παρασκευή, meaning “Friday”), and dekatreís (δεκατρείς, meaning “thirteen”), attached to phobía (φοβία, from phóbos, φόβος, meaning “fear”). The word was derived in 1911 [...]

Memo for Diversity and Equality Officers – under no circumstances is this ethnic group or age group above to be depicted. Leaving aside the fact that the Iranian First Vice-President is in absolutely no position to criticize anyone in the world, being part of a viciously primitive, throwback dystopia, sometimes though, out of the mouths [...]

Let’s assume that we don’t dislike the Bond movies and that Daniel Craig is OK. Let’s assume that they’ve sorted their problems and another film is on its way. Let’s assume that we’re invited to script and cast for the film. What elements would you like to see in there? For example:

I have a female manager and assistant-manager and we have a nice little arrangement going. [...]

Just how much more proof is needed? Hopeless on PR, technically incompetent, hopeless man manager, obscenely paid, just how long is this farce going to continue?
