THE BRITISH THREAD II

Well- they need punters so they can claim government funding to amuse you and keep you out of the labour market for longer. Let's face it- they advertise. And that costs money. Who advertises something worth having. They only pretend they are doing you a favour. Without you punters they would be shelf stacking.

You might get more out of them if you remember that. They are working for you (and us). They have woven this web of flattery around you so that you treat them differently than you would a plumber or a motor mechanic.

"One is not a criminal for depicting the bizarre inclinations inspired by Nature"

A quote of our good Donatien..

Do you get some kind of thrill from upsetting young girls and ladies in general you twisted ****-head!

Well done Queenie, I'm happy for you love.

What a prick.

Spendy, a good big 'un will usually beat a good little 'un, fair enough, but don't be a bigger numpty than nature intended.

Who are the beast team in the RU Championship? Don't trouble yourself finding out, it's New Zealand.

Oh Mathos, the saxophonist is Maceo Parker. Used to play with James Brown. He makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up,.

He was something else Dorothy, mind blowing and I can concur with you regarding the hairs on the back of the neck.

{Hey Princy wasn't too bad, I just thought I'd wind you up for a change :wink: You fell for it too gorgeous..}

Buy into that Queenie and you'll be "lying back and thinking of England" quicker than you can say Freddie Flintstone.

Mathos is an "establishment" man. The longer you stay in college the more skint you will be and skint women are easy meat for lazy blokes.

By " upsetting young girls" he means telling them something he doesn't like them being told. He's an MCP goodstyle. What else can you expect.

Never trust a bloke.

Mr Gorer quotes that epigram in his brilliant book about the heroic Marquis and follows it up with these words-



Which is the fundamental bottom line of Manson's defence.

Thank goodness for Christianity is all I can say.

Fancy being anti-Christian and not knowing that's what's on the end of it.

With Prince stroking your ego. And paying out your wages to have it done.

Does Prince sing anything of that nature? And it is 40 bleedin' years old.

Not to mention the number of ugly buggers in the pub tonight.

When are ladies going to learn that the only way to go to the toilet in a dignified manner is in a long, down to the high heels, slinky skirt with a bit of a split up the side and an "eat your heart out boys" expression on their face.

If he would get a shave and put less pomade on his barnet, I might go to Altrincham to see him.

Musicians like Maceo Parker? Now you're talking. I heard Tina Turner's band doing a warm-up and sound check once. Awesome.

I'm sure he's rinsing the pomade from his barnet and booking his train to Altrincham as I type McT.

No shave, no deal.

TPQ strikes me as being a very intelligent young lady just starting out on her journey through the world of grown-ups.

I hardly think she will derive anything worthwhile from people who go about calling others- "numpty" or "twisted ****-head" or "a prick" and Tina Turner's band as "awesome" or one who says opposite things one of which is a wind up or other equally facile expressions such as "congrats", "wonderful" and "terrific".

None of those words mean anything real.

What she wants to know is whether art is a vehicle for expressing the experience of contemporary social reality and if so, how? As, for example, in the Unmade Bed or, in earlier times, the Grand Odalisque of Ingres and the Women of Algiers by Delacroix were thought to express the reality of the European male's fantasy of female passivity and sensuality and which are direct descendents of Titian and precursors of Gauguin and much else as the above quoted remarks show all of which are patronising and verbal pats on the head.

Or, should art present images expressing escape from sordid realities and idealised visions of far off places and times.

Flatterers are the worst type of "friends" on this whole earth and anyone starting out in life is ill served by having anything to do with them.

No-one has the slightest idea whether Queenie's acceptance is a good thing for her or not.

They don't employ Sgt Growler and Cpl Snot to train young lads fresh from Mama to fight for all the oil you lot need to assuage your nerves for no reason.

That institution she is going to is a business proposition. Without question.

It's probably your age that gets you mixed up and confused with life in general Spendipus. Plus those brown finger priests of course, they couldn't possibly have helped.

Zimmerman is a poet, not an entertainer in the true sense of the word.

Old Prince even I have to admit, is an outstanding entertainer, there is no way, Zimmerman would have put 20,000 plus people in that London out of the way arena on so many nights! He couldn't fill the MEN at Manchester a few years back and I was there, it was a pathetic turn out.

The location took about an hour to get to in the taxi, due to very busy London Roads. The arena is a spectacular place with numerous restaurants and bars, all of them heaving and all well run. The food was good and the variety exceptional. We don't cater anything like as well up north!

My wife had her camera confiscated along with several hundred others, a receipt was given her for the same and at the end of the show, she received the same back on presentation of the receipt. This was a bit of a saga, but if the guy doesn't want his picture taking, fair enough.

There were buses and taxis, plus river taxis available to remove the twenty odd thousand punters. We took a river taxi; had to queue a while but actually left for Waterloo at midnight. Cost £6..00 each. It took some 30 minutes to take us downriver.

We then went to a nightclub in central London and had quite a good old time until about 5 am when we left and bought breakfast.

We made our way back to the hotel had four hours kip or so, showered and dressed and made our way to Euston for the two hours and a bit train journey home.

I was recently asked about Burmese drug factories and what I knew about them! I didn't want to be getting involved in PM's regarding the manufacturing of drugs so I thought I would just be open about the little I do know about the same.

It doesn't pay to be too inquisitive out in the east regarding such activities, curiosity killed the cat! However, just to give you an idea;- Raw opium is taken from the poppy by slicing the pod and letting the sap drain into small plastic bags which are secured to the plant stem. When decent quantities are collected the same is placed into a drum of water. This is boiled over a large fire. Whilst boiling, lime fertiliser is added and this causes a reaction which leaves morphine suspended in the water. The water is then drained off through a flannel cloth. The solution is then transferred to a further drum and re-heated. Concentrated ammonia is added and the morphine sinks to the bottom. Water is again drained off through a flannel cloth leaving chunky particles of morphine which is then ready to be packaged.

Heroin manufacturing is much more complicated, I know little or nothing of the processes undertaken except that a master chemist is required to ensure a fluffy compound is processed and this is known as white powder number 4 heroin which can be injected by syringe. Acetic anhydride is heated with morphine until they bond, impurities are removed. Sodium carbonate is added to enable crude heroin particles to solidify. Particles are filtered out and purified in alcohol and charcoal. The alcohol is then evaporated leaving granules of heroin, the same then dissolved in alcohol; ether and hydrochloric acid are added. The white flakes form and the same is filtered and left to dry. Apparently the final stages are all dependant on the skill and knowledge of the chemist, ether is extremely volatile and if mis-handled could ignite and cause one hell of an explosion.

Metamphetamine or Yaabba as it is known out east, is I understand a very dangerous drug which is manufactured all over Burma, Cambodia and I understand there is a cottage industry in Thailand manufacturing this product. The tablets are usually a pink colour, very small and smell like chocolate. Sometimes they can be green in colour? I have no idea how they are made or what chemicals are used in their manufacture, but the drug is widely used in the orient, it enables people to go for days without sleep and gives them abundances of energy. Users suffer from paranoia and can become extremely violent with rushes of abnormal strength. I have read that the drug can now be purchased in America and Europe?

I'll be sticking to John Smith's Extra Smooth. It's very nutritional as well as euphoria inducing and clack lubricating.

What do you see in journeying to places like that? Is it the pain?

If the hairs on your neck stand forth watching the prancing primper what happens when you come across a crazy guy popped up on Yaabba with a panga in his hand?

interessant ma chere dp tu av une hairy neck

Thanks for sharing the opium processing mathos. I'm sure there is money to be made, are you in for it? I'll give £50 for some pots and pans

Q. What do you call a fly with no wings?
