Now they?re having a go at the Mancunians.

I?ve still not had a chance to water them. Was working late last night but will sort it today. Fear not little saplings.

Bollicks, North is up everyone knows that. Except in the very olden days when East was up.

Kids can be boring but not nearly as boring as adults.

I don?t think the question is, ?Should our tax money pay for breast augmentation?? but rather, ?Why is our tax money not paying for breast augmentation??

Stupid Scandinavians with their high standards of living, low crime rates and general social equality, what do they know about anything? http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=225113 Edit: Because I didn?t get me none of that Swedish free education so I have appealing grammar.

No, no, no! You know where you stand with Librarians. Estate agents are human shaped alien craft piloted by a race of intergalactic property developers hell-bent on turning earth into a modern, executive housing development with Venutian views for space yuppies. I can prove it. They all look exactly the same don?t they? And their skin looks like it?s made of plastic. That?s because it is. Clowns are Satan?s agents on earth. They are also in league with the estate agents. They would turn the library into something resembling that Adventure Place further down Lordship Lane, which I?m told is their current stronghold in these environs.

In all fairness there are one or two of them who can be a bit surly sometimes but I find if I gurn idiotically at them I normally elicit a smile. Anyway they?re librarians, they?re supposed to look down their nose at you over a pair a reading glasses. Tradition dictates that their expressions be ?pinched? or perhaps ?fraught? but not ?jolly?. If you want jolly you?ve got to find yourself a butcher. Organising books alls day = pinched Chopping up dead carcasses all day = jolly Such is just the way of the world.

I didn?t water them last night as it was raining anyway but should I do so? What if the council is watering them anyway and I end up drowning them? I have no desire to become South East London?s number one tree murderer. They all have little pipes sticking out of the ground next to them which I presume lead directly to the root ball which will need water. I don?t know how much rain water would have soaked down there with the light rain we?ve had. Someone advise me please so I can absolve myself of culpability before I go being recklessly public spirited.

They smile at me.

You are talking about Mr Palaeologus here aren?t you?

They weren?t actually clowns in the first place. They were monkeys dressed as clowns. Monkey clowns are very in at the moment. http://remainsofthedesi.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/evil-monkey-2.jpg Some people say these are actually wombles dressed as monkeys dressed as clowns. But some people will say any old shit quite frankly.

It would be interesting to know exactly how much of that increased spending went to the military.

And considering the sentiments I hear from the Tories I work with neither do they.

One could argue that if employers distributed money more evenly between the highest and lowest earners and if the financial services industry didn?t create conditions which overvalued property in order to inflate their profits all the millions of people on lower wages would not need government support in order to house and feed themselves and the hard done by middleclass professionals like you and I would not have to bear the increased tax burden. Not that I think our government has any intention of trying to uplift the poor.

Perhaps buckets should be made available at the clock house to protect that poor innocent hedge.

I live very close to the ones on Friern Road. Will water them tonight. Although it looks like rain at the moment so it may not be necessary today.

Why are there only 2 ways?

You know it makes sense.

Oooh. ED is getting above itself. We?ve got Wombles now. Nobody tell them about the crime rate or they?ll scarper back to SW London.

Foxes.

I?ve actually only started going to these Unisex places over the last couple of years since I?ve grown my hair a bit longer. I always stuck to a proper barber and thought somewhere with Unisex on the window was some sort of budget brothel for students. I must say the breasts in the face thing took me by surprise. Now I realise it may all be part of the service but I really didn?t know how to respond when a woman put her chest in my face and asked me about my holidays. She didn?t even seem interested in the muffled response regarding the current political landscape in Turkey that I managed to babble into her blouse. Now I?m always a bit worried for about 2 days before my next haircut. Apart from the fact that I am a very happily married man, it?s warm in those places and I blush easily.

That?s exactly what I always say. It?s all very well and good criticizing the private school system for being elitist and entrenching privilege in society but degrading it to less than it is would just be counter productive. I would be all for getting rid of private schools all together but only if state education was raised to a comparable level.
