My better half does some consultancy work for one of those multinational pharacutical type companies.

 

Today she was told the tale of a woman who returned a bottle of mouthwash to said company.

 

The complaint ?

 

When her husband used this mouthwash on his haemorroids .... it hurt.

 

 

NO SHIT SHERLOCK !

 

 

KERA-TV in Dallas have found some lost footage of the Pythons from 1975. According to the blog post it was "discovered on an old reel that had been saved by an engineer..."

 

Now. If they could only find the lost Lennon interview on BBC TV's Parkinson that might be interesting.

 

Graham C. looks rough and a little tired & emotional. I don't think that's tea he's drinking.

 

Ironic that censorship in the UK is one of the questions.

 

Thanks to my Hungarian friend for forwarding this to me.

 

 

 

 

From the New York Times : Irish Eyes Are Winking, You Can Hear the Angels Laugh

 

But is the laughter of the angels funny-haha or funny-nervous?

 

Is laughing at your circumstances giving in ? Are you accepting that's your lot ?

 

"Sure I may as well laugh because fuck all is going to be done about it".

 

I'd like to have seen Des get into some of the new immigrant communities. Now that would have been interesting. What would our Polish friends have to say about their new home ? I'd be interested to find out just what the insular Chinese community are doing. God knows when I've said 'hello' to any of them they look right through me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Breaking news:

 

Ben has written a new song  titled  "Willie Wonka Is Dead" (I'll bet the search engines will have fun with that).

 

It's a piano ballad and there WILL be a guitar solo.

 

Lyrics to follow. Ben's website will be updated with the song (I'll probably record it this afternoon and mix it tomorrow) and you never know . . . we might even have a video (Heather is working on it).
