I intensely dislike Bank Holidays. I have never liked them even when I was working. But at least, these days, the shops open over the midday. I must buy The Times when I nip out to post this, because the Papers on Sky News have trailed an article about Astro-NERDS wanted by NASA but ‘space cadets’ need not apply. Is the right stuff for 2008 different? I recall reading that fit Edwin Aldrin did vital work on trajectories. Moon guys had it all.
Michelle Henry was the cafe-au-lait lady who was with Eamonn doing the Papers. Mattel are trying to own Brats, as well as their own ugly, skinny, long-tall, Barbie. An ex-employee invented Brats which have more normal limb proportion with an infant-style head which is large in proportion to the body. I say: that fashion models are gruesome. Barbie is an ugly freak. And Mattel are ectomorphic-fascists. Michelle and Eamonn are not too bad.
Watching CCTV9, I loved the way interviewee Xu Kangping turned to fellow interviewee Yang Ning rather than the moderator and interviewer whose name I forget, but he is utterly brilliant. The young man Xu was younger than the young lady Yang. He agreed with one point, and then turned to her to check what else she said. It was so cute. The moderator let things ride. I love that show. It is Dialogue, of course. Watch it!
The Land was declared by the UN in 1947 to be twin states. But since 1882 at least, the theist leadership of both antithetic cousin faiths had been spewing hatred so extremists inside, and circling nations, outside decreed that the tri-faith peace-loving people themselves had no chance. We are in the last chapter as the gangster grabbers of G-land slowly enlighten. I think S ought to be handed to P by E. Size matters. J and S are the heartland of I.
BBC News had a piece on the Grand Design Show in the docklands. It was comical to hear the lady going “…we have a very buoyant market and even if there should be a slight downturn…” This was LIVE today mark you, not a clip from six months ago! What a sales-person! Of course, she may be on it. Up-market residences may be doing as well as ever. As for me, I am happy in my Dave Wells flat in dear old Poole Bay City. Sod Old Father Thames.
Natalie Cronin, National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Inspector, was helped beautifully by the lady interviewer (whose name I did not catch) on BBC News 08h20. It was a classic example of the art. Natalie went into a bland generalisation. She did not answer the question. The Beeb lady gave the answer, and led the next question. And so on. Natalie finally lost her preoccupation and got into a good-enough stride. Better next time.
John McDonnell was yapping that he thinks Gordon can be saved from crashing in flames. Hello! Who were the back-seat pilots who got the bloke IN this mess? You back-bench loony-Left Marxist-fascists mate, that is who! Apparently, this bloke JMcD tried to stand for leader last year. I think he is the item I referred to in a previous blog when I called him hard-faced. This time, a twitch of humour came at the end. I quite liked him. Damn!
We are told that it might cost billions of pounds to find, and export, illegal immigrant workers. I am on the side of the workers myself. They must be needed. The business of government would be making sure that these people (who have the initiative and courage to treat Earth as their home, not just their land of birth) are paid well-enough, work in good-enough conditions, and are not exploited slaves. Be part of the solution, HMG!
They idiots are waiting for better weather before running up Everest with a flaming torch. Once again I quote Robert Anson Heinlein (I hope that the late Master of Science Fiction and Space Fantasy is monitoring in agreement that this case applies) “Nothing is harder to believe than human stupidity”. In any case, I hate tectonic damage. All this silly pointy things need to be cut flat and the stuff used to fill the silly fiords. One day people will be like me.
