THE BRITISH THREAD II

Whoever it is, they aren't in a hurry! Don't blame them - not a job I'd like. Bet it will be a girl anyway - Queen Victoria perhaps?

Princess Leia?

Now that William is a captain, he should change his name from Windsor to Incredible.

Nobody will mess with Captain Incredible.

You've been watching those bourgeois blue-stockings on Loose Women too much izzy.

Never watched it mate.

You should mate. Not knowing what these modern up-thrusting women of a certain age are up to can be very dangerous for a gentleman's equilibrium.

They have the whole media in the palms of their hands.

Spendi Manchester United pulled in a crowd of 84.000 against the Australian All Stars last Saturday. Liverpool will go one better this Wednesday when they play the Austalian A league champions in Melbourne. A crowd of 100.000 is expected, figures unheard of some years ago! Soccer is certainly on the rise in this Country where Rugby and Australian Rules are the major football codes!

It amazes me what people with more money than sense get up to.

There is a large number of Englishmen living here spendi following the beautiful game.

This should cheer you up a bit. Have you heard that Jane Austen will be replacing Charles Darwin on the £10 notes from 2017?

First thing I thought of when I saw the news on BBC1 - Jane Austen/Spendius -

A straw in the wind for Spengler's Second Religiousness. Maybe it's just a whim of Merv's. A banker's gold watch.

Don't worry though. SSR will come so slowly you will hardly notice it. The scientists will find, eventually, that the Christian moral code, despite its many great difficulties, is the correct way of proceeding.

When I saw Prince William place the baby rider in the back seat of his speckless gas guzzler with the offspring safely strapped in and then climb into the driver's seat it reminded me of a picture I once saw of Adam and Eve being chased out of the Garden of Eden. An artist's reconstruction I hardly need add.

Now you've put this image in my head.

Imagine Prince George Alexander Loius of Cambridge filling his nappy whilst dozing in his posh cot.

It's all downhill from there Sir.

Perfect likeness of Jane Austen/Spendius! We must have that on our £10 notes in 2017. Meantime, I suggest it as an avatar for Spendius - he needs one!

I've had kids, I've changed nappies, it's all very mundane. I prefer to use my imagination for more exciting things like robot pirate dinosaurs.

I have considered this--

That's a cave-man's version of "Kilroy was here!", is it not?

What did they use for the background colour? I knew once, but I have forgotten. Did they spit blood onto the hand on the wall?

I gather that they used a mouthful of paint, placed the hand on the wall and blew. You will notice that the colour of the hand is the same, roughly, as that of the rock outside the spray zone. The colour between the fingers and around the hand being the colour of the paint.

Have you seen the one in which a bunch of men with erections are trying to kill a large beast with spears? Foreplay eh? Pretty droll eh?
