Nim’s Island astonished me so the trailer must have been just right. Am I wrong to fear what they are planning for Big-L? Cool Geezer could not get help from the spreading hive of Contract World. Doctor Alixe Bovey ‘In Search of Medieval Britain’ is not doing too badly. Will NOC Party really box any chocs or is it all a dram?

Nim’s Island is indeed the title of the movie I saw yesterday. In the previous post I had to call it Nidl Nadl Noo. Oldie folk will recall the dated work of Milligan, Sellers and Seacombe. I needed to see a movie, never expecting stuff as brilliant as the adventures of Nim turned out to be: pets in acceptable snips, events not depending on stupidity, the right-thing being done, people knowing technology and having cool attitude. To miss is to diss …yourself.
A couple of days ago, the Big-L DJ said of the station: “hopefully, soon, bigger and better and brighter”. I SO hope that this is a promise of wider and more powerful signal distribution, like taking over a Beeb-hogged AM frequency, and not a sad warning of take-over by the phoney PR arty-farty design-specialist con-crap comprehensive red-brick generation. Much as the previous paragraph lauds Now Generation, I like my Big-L Sixties-style.
Cool Geezer phoned me with an insight. He was up by a regional Beeb hive and spoke to the lady at the desk. He showed his professional creds hoping to see the duty engineer (on a new tech, as before) but she no-could-do. The poor lady let out the whole maladroit situation. She was depressed with the selling-off because she could no longer contact departments. (Yet the lovies have the legal right to demand we finance expanding narcissistic posturing.)
Doctor Alixe Bovey ‘In Search of Medieval Britain’ seems to get it just right. UK and USA history is common until their UDI, and our going our separate ways. She has every right to seek amongst the ruins here and to remark upon what she finds. I loved the idea of being able to shoot-on-sight anyone legally declared to be an ‘outlaw’. That is JUST what we are asking for. Softies who kiss-up to the crooks are outlaws too. Soon, baby, soon…
I noticed when I popped in to see the elections coverage that NOC Party were doing OK. I had never heard of them but I did somehow get the impression that they were rather a grey lot, I do not know why. Then I twigged that I was looking at an abbreviation for ‘no overall control’. I have no overalls. I am retired. I liked the white ones I had at Cadburys in the early 1960s. All along the high-walk, we white ghosts were walking.
Whenever somebody expresses a willingness to believe in astrology I ask them to tell me my birth, based on their observation of my character during the conversations we have been having. No luck so far. They need to join the National Organisation of C*nts.
