a bit of the Irish...

Dateline Parliament:
their new bollards dont work.
some ruggered indeevidyouall kayonedoubleyewone ( US Marine Vietnam slang for a GOOFBALL)
 drove their car onto parliaments  forecourt on budget day.
so the wet behind the ears kneejerk solution   was to install tumescent bollards.
in and out and up and down and in an out and up and down and in and out.
How much did they cost?
Anyway whats wrong with the security there now?
See thats the New Zealand Way. If it doesnt work then throw the most expensive band aid that money can buy on it.
Dont ascertain the cause.
Just spend the taxpayers money on another new toy which happens to be something that goes up and down and in and out (?)
titter titter
This would be downright funny if it was not so downright stupid inane and indicative of the sort of ninnies we have become.
dont get off your arse and put feet on the ground but just get another app so the new cadre of pissweak pantywaists can sit in  their offices and WATCH.
They used to have a big guy out front who made it all happen but I suppose they all have degrees now but cant do anything.

am listening to PLANXTY.
The jolly beggar
great ditty.
Planxty  were (are) a great Celtic Band.
Subtle and not your usual pub band thats all noise and any nuance gets lost in speed and din.
thats DIN.
A funny thing happened when I bought a book of Irish Welsh And British  folk songs for penny whistle written by ISB memeber Robin Williamson.
I went through the whole book looking for airs that I might like and transfer to guitar but the funny thing is even though I have Irish heritage the Scotch tunes appealed most!!!!!!!












If you want to know who the best crime writers are ask an old lady.
They know.
MY mother used to read, devour Allan Hunters police procedurals in the 1960's.
He was (is) a nifty writer.
Almost Hemingwayesque in his economical use of language but very very good.
I found one in the Masterton Hospice Shop yesterday.
The protagonist is one Inspector Geroge Gently.
A man of principle and ethics and utterly incorruptible.
No post modern bullshit.
Just get the bad guys.
NO letting off the villans because of breeding or connections.
It would be well if every new constable was made to read his stuff.
Maybe they would get some idea of what it means to be a proper policeman.
