THE BRITISH THREAD II

Adding to it, Koala is an aboriginal word for no drink.

One don't have to feel compelled to do the same as Koalas...

Even I knew it was Salammbo, Maythos, you non-smoking ignoramus!

I didn't.



What is?

I dont think that Torchwood is anything like the old Dr Who. I alwys found Dr WHo a bit tongue in cheek with some of the cheapest special eefects possible. When I was a kid, there were local tv shows with robots that one could see were mfg out of boxes and tin foil and theyd dress these guys in the robot suits,
Dr who was like that, wherein the cosmic badasses looked like large spinning cones.

McT, why would you drag one of the Top Gear guys around by his nutz? I sense a certain dislike for him? I think the charm of the show is that these guys are all wired up to drive things fast, but have no clue how the wrold actually works. They have many long tons of useful information about turbochargers and proper timing, but they cant find their way off I 95.

When they did the show to drive these clunkers from Miami to New Orleans and then were moived as to how devastated NO still remains, was probably staged for the European audience, The show stars probably feigned incredulity about how our nation is still in a pre Industrial Revolution status in many areas. We in the US are used to this govt "double speak" so we just roll up our sleeves and help our neighbors where we can.

Our country gets stuff done despite, not because of govt..

Wonder where Doowop is?

I hope he's OK...

Hope he's not got himself a hernia.

The old Doctor Who was very low-budget.

The new Doctor Who had had a lot more spent on it, on scripts, sets, cast, everything. Chalk and cheese.

Clarkson (Top Gear) is a overgrown schoolboy petrolhead, a loudmouth anachronism with a Brillo-pad haircut and a big belly hanging over his blue jeans, an anarchist where motoring issues are concerned, a male chauvinist, and an arrogant twit to boot. I dislike him a lot. Does it show so much?

It's all an act Mac.

He's a sort of mirror of the target audience's deeper psychological problems. He acts out their fantasies or at least those they don't use to initiate full tumesence. The early twitches part.

If you understand sadism at all you would understand better. Ms Lawson works the same groove. Put simply- control freakery. Equipment fetish. It's a lady thing. The brrrrummm-brrrummming is an affectation.

He's effeminacy on denial. Big ( and small and in-between) mummie's boys exaggerate machismo in verbal form. They all do it to some extent. They know that their audience are sentimental slop-puddings due mainly to allowing parents to get anywhere near the educational system.

Reading between the lines of his Sunday Times column his wife is in full control. (Poor dear.) I should imagine he is not very well hung.

Are you?

But yet Cola is an American word for drink.



Strange.

I have been known to cause those mewling sounds which Greek mythology attempts to express with "iacche, euoi, eleleu." Whooing and aaaahhing is for the petit bourgeois.

Serious vowel extensions required.

I presume you have heard of the Eleusinian Mysteries the secrets of which no-one dared speak. The climactic eleleu named the temple and its environs.



The priestesses of Eleusis



Socrates is thought by some to have hinted and thus caused his downfall.

It is one of my more obtuse intellectual speculations , a hypothesis wande might call it, that the priestesses of Eleusis represent the crossing point in human history which resulted in this whole shebang including the Jobcentre and compost bins. Those Greek philosophers were all "adepts" of the cult but mostly as only first or second dans. The high priest was probably in a similar state as myself.

Robert Graves in his famous book The White Goddess makes a passing but revealing reference to them and Oswald Spengler in a display of irony unrivalled to my knowledge said "but we all know what they were all about".

You might benefit in this regard fron reading my two posts on Science and Mathematics relating to the appearence in the world of blue-eyed Africans. Then you might see how stylishly Graves and Spengler deployed that figure of speech I described in the hope that some fast A2K can confound his English professor with it which is the sort of thing fast A2Kers enjoy very much.

I like to bring a little joy into the lives of those few souls who have such a propensity so that they might seek to perfect the skill and pass it on. as it has been passed to me by all the headbangers I have read, so that, one hopes, it never dies out in this world for it would be a sad and sorry place in its absence and hardly worth keeping going.

That got a bit mixed up. Maybe the computer is a bit prissy.

It censored Cecil Rhodes quotes the other day and his scholarships are America's most prestigious academic ambitions. Bill Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar.

spendacious,

You know I'm think as two short ones...

Try as I might, I can't understand that last post. Can't you dumb down a little.

No wonder your celibate... you probably take two hours to say "fancy a shag".

...or did you simply mean Ivor Biggun?

Well smorgsie, (good morning btw),

Leaving aside the print-out errors, which are easily identified, I was trying to answer your rather personal question and to add a touch of class so that you might see that we men have other attractions, our conversation say, beside the one you seem most interested in.

We don't like being only wanted for one thing.

In saying that I have been known to provide the stimulus to elicit the response the words "iacche, euoi, eleleu." are but a feeble expression of ("jabbering like a lemur monkey" in Henry Miller's version) I thought that might satisfy your enquiry satisfactorily.

The other stuff was for educational purposes for those who feel the need to get beyond what they had for dinner and I'm surprised that a responsible civil servant, possibly an established one, was unable to make head or tail of it.

Thinking upon that possible "crossing point in human history", the cusp of change from matriarchy to patriarchy, might provide history students with a whole other angle from which to view their subject. Such a change, after 2 or 3 million years of matriarchy during which not one iota of worthwhile progress took place, did not occur overnight. Whether or not it is a coincidence that the philosophers who have influenced our history so much were contemporaries of the goings-on at Eleusis and, in the main, adepts in the cult is a matter of guesswork.

And in just 2 thousand years, the tick of a clock against the time of the matriarchy, here we are. Living the life of Riley. We hardly know what to do next so many choices have we.

It is not idle to speculate that the feminist policies, obviously designed to re-establish the matriarchy, and going along apace too, although probably not fast enough for some, might risk us returning down the route we have taken and we can all sit in caves again gnawing on a bone.

I was also, as usual, extolling the benefits of reading good literature over ,say, pedalling forty bloody miles sat on a cock-chafer.



Oh no. I wouldn't dream of such a thing. I always took them from A to Z so gradually that they remained innocently unaware that they were descending into sin. Fresh starters I mean.

Come, come, now, spendicant!

You know I was only joking.

As if women only want one thing...

It was merely a smutty retort at your suggestion that Clarkson didn't quite fill those fashionable (not) jeans he wears.

Oh, and btw, I am an established one (band C).

You are too much focussed on words. There is body language as well.

When a lady spends a lot of time preparing herself for display isn't she saying- "fancy a shag?" and to all and sundry so that a general positive response enables her to give the nod to the most pleasing.

And that preparing herself takes a lot longer than two hours. Some ladies spend all their waking hours on the process. Married ones some of them. It's shameful.

Hey- I'm never not joking.

dont provoke him smorgs, he can go on for hours, days even.

YOU'RE telling ME that I'M too focused on words?

I do my best, spends, with the education I received.

If I mentioned Salammbo in my circles, someone would tell me they showed their tits after consuming eight of them! After the flames had gone out, of course...

AND I'm a prolific reader. A week never goes by without me reading Chat/Bella/Best/OK/Heat/More.

Colours look good don't they?
