@spendius,
I met this delightful mom and I found she had the beauty of a goddess but quite different from Taranatha..

However, I was told that she had a similar power to the Indian goddess, what her charismatic presence seemed to convey very well.

In that case it might be advisable to avoid her although the chances of an imitation are quite high.

There was a Sex Pistols imitation group on in the pub tonight.

They had their wives with them and the lower middle-class audience, which will be polishing their cars in the morning, had a nice anarchistic fantasy for an hour or so.

It was quite funny.

@spendius,
I prefer sitting or, better still, lying down, Spendi.

Haha. Well you have to let it out at some point.

@The Pentacle Queen,
Maybe that's the explanation for the scatology in Strictly Come Dancing. They did some heavy strainings on "constipation" themes last night. Wiggling bums were also prominent.

I'm gladdened to see that the authorities in Australia are taking action against the killing of animals for entertainment purposes in I'm a Celebrity. That is a programme of which we should all be deeply ashamed.

Spendy, you never spoke a truer word.
******* bread and circuses. What's the matter with us? Could our TV programming sink much lower?

I didn't watch the jungle programme or the dancing one as I'd not heard of any of the so-called celebrities. Guess if you don't watch East Enders, Holby or Hollyoaks then you're out of the loop.

I did read something unsavoury about a rat though - poor little critter.

@Ionus,

Funnily enough, one of the things I miss when I'm away is the BBC.

We complain about it a lot, but there are good programmes as well as dross.

And it has no commercials....except the ones it puts in for its own products, future programmes I mean.

I've seen a bit of American TV and frankly I don't know how you stand it.
No wonder you go out and shoot each other.

@McTag,
I'm not sure I believe Ionus Mac. He sounds like an Englishman to me trying to pretend he's Australian. Why anybody would do that I can't imagine but some do do it.

And Germaine Greer was the thin end of the wedge which wasn't as thin as it looked at first when it hadn't been smacked a few hundred thousand times.

That's the whole beauty of this cyber milarky, Spendi - we could all be anyone.

I'm actually a 15st bloke decorated with tattoos and I drive a truck. I reckon you're a varicose veined lady called Brenda.

And I suppose you would be prepared to give me a good seeing-to if I so much as hinted that you could.
