Salutations to Dionysus

Last night we went to Sunday service at the local pub offering salutations to the god of wine Dionysus. The usual crowd of kids (most of them whom work under Phil) milled around and ordered a Chinese take away initiated by Jonathan. We had three large glasses of top notch vino/. Bradley had a few puffs of my pipe. We left the establishment around 1.30 in the morning.

In essence this is what my bro said -


!Hungry in Cameron's Cotswolds
In its drive for 'deficit reduction' at any cost Cameron's government has turned its back on the genuine cases of poverty, hardship and homelessness that blight our country. The number of persons depending on food banks has risen to staggering proportions, while this government stands idly by and cuts welfare payments, introduces the 'bedroom tax', tells individuals who are clearly unwell that they are fit for work and yet anticipates a 10% pay increase when other public sector workers are told to accept 1%.

This is supposed to be the season of goodwill to all men. I don't see much of that coming from Cameron and his cronies. This article from The Independent says it all:"

Damn right

Boxing Day Cat

The cat decides it was a good time to explore the empty box which the hamper food was in. She does not realise as yet that there is a proper bed for her on Christmas Day.

Jazz

The "not much music" charge is one that tends to get levelled against fast and fluent improvisors. Some used to say it about Spillett's hero, Tubby Hayes. They said it about Johnny Griffin. They even said it about Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. There's plenty of music here, but maybe more than some people can handle in a short space of time. This is "Oleo"
