Just Wondering

Do you like black and white movies?

If you could pick a book you’ve read to make into a movie, which one would you choose? Or would you rather it not be made?

Are you good at Trivial Pursuit? What's your best category?

Perish .... Indeed

I totally agree with poliphilo here -


"The readiness of journalists to accept the government line on things like the Skripal case and the alleged gas attack in Douma puzzles me. There's a strong smell of fish about both incidents- and locating the stinking cod's head would be the scoop of the century- but there are few signs that those whose job it is to dig are doing anything of the sort. Why? Do they fear for their jobs? Or their lives? Are they too deeply embedded in the establishment? Are they too trusting, too lazy, or just blithely incurious? Incurious journalists- now there's a thing.

We accept that foreign governments lie, we accept that the President of the United States lies all the time (the ex-director of the FBI says so), we even accept that past British governments have lied (notably over Iraq) but to suggest that the people who rule us today might tell the odd porky about matters of national and international importance- perish the thought."

Canterbury Visit

It turned out to be a very sunny and warm day.I took the heavy overcoat and really didn't need it in the ned. I was travelling over to Canterbury to do a couple of visits in the fair city. One of the visits was my monthly supermarket shops and the other meant that now i have a small plant pot and a candle (from the Tonbridge branch) plus two top quality jute bags they put these items in.

I also popped into Waterstones by mistake -well that is my excuse -and bought this -




For those not in know Viv was a member of the all girl punk band The Slits. This is the first book in her autobiography as she has another newer one in hardback ,both were reviewed in Wire.
