Let's face it - it can to be their sex appeal.Sex appal more like it.J.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429727115197726031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-2373430203479055252007-03-01T20:44:00.000+00:002007-03-01T20:44:00.000+00:00JJ, I can see that your visits to my own heavyweig...JJ, I can see that your visits to my own heavyweight intellectual blog have rubbed off on you, and you though, oh f**k I don't want to end up like him, I'd better raise this up a bit. Did you really learn all that in school or did you actually see it on the news when it happened?- be honest now. I missed the Prescott show on TV so all I know about it is ths arse stunt double story. I don't know what attracts you women to these men though JJ, I think that's something we need to hear from you next. Any advice welcome on that score.Arthur Clewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899298157515419564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-86365690781991349532007-03-01T09:19:00.000+00:002007-03-01T09:19:00.000+00:00yeuch- I couldn't bear to watch and to see and ima...yeuch- I couldn't bear to watch and to see and imagine the horror.

(Henshaw played Prescott tonight). A lovely man John Henshaw (and his brother actually). He used to perform in the local folk clubs when he was still a binman. He didn't become an actor until he was 40. Is that bottle or what?<BR/><BR/>As for Marquand, when I did my degree he was my tutor for a year and also my lecturer on a module called something like "Wither Social Democracy." A condescending bouffant of a man who should have (may have as far as I know) carried on writing portentious political biographies and stayed out of the public eye - ooops he has hasn't he?. His biography of Ramsay MacDonald was a meisterwork however - even though he did offer a profoundly conservative (small c) appraisal of the eventual crash and burn.<BR/><BR/>As the years have flashed by at the speed of light, with the nights too dark and the days too bright, I frequently wonder what the point of Historical Analysis is. Because we never learn. We never learn.<BR/><BR/>And yet it is SO important for, as Mr Orwell once observed: "he who controls the past controls the present. And he who controls the present controls the future.<BR/><BR/>Still the future's bright. Global warming will see to that.©gloophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016915384670394498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29004177.post-80977723947829983992007-02-28T22:59:00.000+00:002007-02-28T22:59:00.000+00:00The quote from Dennis Skinner - pure class!And imp...The quote from Dennis Skinner - pure class!<BR/>And impressed with your historical knowledge!Reidskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099190023784077789noreply@blogger.com
