Have to agree.
Prompted by Robert Anton Wilson fandom many years back, I manfully wrestled with ‘Finnegan’s Wake’, hoping for an esoteric insight but never even slightly connected & quit pretty early on.

Junglejim commented on the post, Quick Question about Rebekah Vardy 1 week, 3 days ago
Well I may be old fashioned but I tend towards the old ‘leopards & spots’ angle, & also that it’s fair to judge people by how they behave towards those who can’t serve them in any way.
Vardy pleaded ignoran […] -

I was think mostly of his well documented drunken racist abuse of an Asian bloke at a casino, but wouldn’t be surprised if there’s other stuff.

This.
The list of players capable of making John Terry seem like Keanu Reeves in the ‘great human being’ stakes is pretty short, but Vardy’s on it. -

I agree completely & as I also enjoy ‘Bosch’, there is a pleasing echo of Hitchcock & Scully in his unit, with the 2 ageing ‘old school’ detectives, who in this instance actually do have a few tricks up their sleeves.

I saw this this afternoon at the flicks, & would d highly recommend it.
If you’re a fan, you’ll be familiar with the humour (sometimes black as pitch) that infuses his work & that is apparent throughout- the […] -

My personal fave was always ‘Cat’s Cradle’ & I had an amusing few minutes last night reading the 1 Star reviews on Amazon, from the ‘I don’t get it, therefore it’s rubbish’ fraternity. I can’t help thinking K […]

What a gracious offer, Arthur- I feel churlish declining.
Whether you explore Bamboo shirts or not, Bamboo grundies are genuinely life changing – believe me – infinitely better than cotton & totes natural. -
Junglejim commented on the post, Antipodean tips for surviving heatwaves 3 weeks, 1 day ago
I don’t rate cotton once it gets properly hot, you just sit in a wet icky garment.
I reckon the argument here is twofold – how much activity is being undertaken? & how humid is it?
My take is that if y […] -

A few years ago now, my eldest daughter watched my DVD of it & a few weeks later was again looking for something to watch. I asked what sort of thing she fancied & she said ‘ something like Children Of Men’. I […]

Nothing is going to top Soy Cuba’s mega shot, but this sequence from ‘Children Of Men’ is sensational cinematography. Warning: it is violent.

Fear Of Music is the one for me.
Curious because they definitely were not at their ‘peak’ yet – Remain In Light is clearly a development on, & has hits but I just never really cared for it.

The main thing is your hamper is on the way.
JC will obviously go down as a footnote seeing as he didn’t reach high office.

Junglejim commented on the post, How will Corbyn go down? 1 month ago
False equivalence in my view – one was an activist with little previous political ambition but a clear stance on a number of issues, & the other was a multi millionaire, still holding a US Green Card at the time, […]
