The Grammy and Oscar award-winning composer John Barry has died at the age of seventy-seven of a heart-attack. From his days with his band The John Barry Seven he produced hit after hit. And, with an extensive list of hit music in his repertoire the talents of John Barry will be sorely missed. He gave us amongst his vast output the theme to ‘The Persuaders’ and ‘Midnight Cowboy’ and produced the beautifully visual ‘Born Free’ that led the films star Virginia McKenna to present him with a well-deserved lifetime achievement award.

The post ignores the fact that some, like me.. will never trust a woman in a relationship ever again.

After an afternoon on VR, spent re-learning something I’d almost forgotten, I so-longed for the Sanctuary provided by the relative chaos of the Project.



I’d almost forgotten how one set of childish spite could produce an equally daft and, somewhat churlish response.



It’d almost been like being with my last fiancée.

Searchhing for some Byron quotes, I came upon these, which I really liked ~





For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering near; My greatest grief is that I leave nothing that claims a tear.

For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.

Friendship is Love without his wings!

Lord Byron



Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

The Green and Present Land

So now ‘they’ are talking of selling off the countries oldest greatest asset, our land, our forests, insisting it’ll be safe in private hands and, the public will have access. Is this lie the better services we receive on our buses and trains? Or even with our privatised utilities? It can’t be forgotten, that ninety percent of the country is already owned by just ten percent of the population: and, that many of those landed gentry, who get tax breaks for providing ‘access’ to their land do very little to encourage the freedoms to walk, that we should have, whilst obtaining rather large subsidies. Again it is another case of the rich getting rich, whilst the poor are pushed aside. Heck, how long till ‘they’ are given the right droit de seigneur once more and can take any woman they want, on their land?

So let me get this right? Tuition fees in England are being increased, EMA is being slashed and the pay of college professors is proposed to rise by twenty per cent?



Police budgets are being cut, less prisons are being built and we’re told prison doesn’t work and, meanwhile the bankers get their bonus’s and you get your home sold beneath you, if you need care in your old age; and meanwhile the bankers get their bonuses, as a reward for their ‘success’, in getting us in this mess.



We bailed them out, at our expense, they’re not paying us on interest, on the money we save, then they claim bonuses and, we further reward their failure, by allowing it.

I liked all I’ve seen of Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks [[bar his last filmed gig, in which he knew he was dying]] yet, at this years Golden Globe awards, I truly believe that Ricky Gervais went a step too far with his derogatory remarks and I totally concur with the star of ‘Iron Man’ when Robert Downey Jr. later said on stage: "Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the vibe of the show has been pretty good so far, wouldn't you?"

Spinach & Lentil Bake [[My recipe]]







Soak two half mugs of lentils in a casserole dish, with enough water to cover, then add 2-3 peeled garlic, squished with the side of a good knife: and, a vegetable stock cube. Place in the mix half a sliced onion and a few more garlic, this time finally chopped [[or squish with a knife, again]] and 4-5 small blocks of frozen chopped spinach, then place the lid on and ‘defrost’ for 10 minutes, stirring once, or twice.

Once all the liquid seemed absorbed, leave to stand, while you make the sauce, which you can make with a product like Bisto cheese granules. Make up a third of a mug of the sauce and, then place a saucer on top and leave to cool, as you slice some cheese. Take the lid of the casserole dish, and lightly pour the sauce of the mix, that you now have in a bake proof dish [[or use the casserole dish, if it is bake-proof]] and, place the cheese on top, evenly spaced. Now place the mix beneath the grill and bake on a medium light, until the cheese is all melty and browning nicely. Take out from beneath the grill and place on a heatproof tray [[like a breadboard]] and serve, with fish, or meat, or … with whatever you want.

Bankers bonuses
12:39 Jan 11 2011
Times Read: 1,072

So the bankers have been told they can have their bonuses. Quel surprise? This is a conservative government after all: and, on the front row of the commons, many if not all of ‘them’ are millionaires, so the increase in petrol price to about five pound a gallon doesn’t affect them.



Yet, the bonuses are obscene, totally obscene. We are rewarded these individuals for failure, plain and simple. Hell, if you or I went for a job, having a work record as bad as some of the bankers, then you’d know full well you’d not have much of a chance of employment. But, if you’re a banker, you get rewarded for failure!?! And their argument? ‘We need the best men [[and women]] for the job, that’s why the bonus culture, to encourage them.’



“But how are they the best for the job? They got us in this mess, with their greed!” As to them going elsewhere if they don’t get what they want, I say, “Let them, they don’t create, or produce anything. Their world is based on nothing material!”



And, the industry we had, that might have got us out of this mess destroyed by a former conservative government, led by Margaret Thatcher, who took pride in what she did, saying the city was enough.



Well, the city got us in this mess and, we have propped them up: yet what do I see happening, the rich get richer and the rest of us suffer a rapidly lowering of our standard of living. And meanwhile, the bankers get their bonuses.

Aw eh!

"I was sitting on the train, idea's flitting through my brain... and, I jotted one down..."

In a dark lair, where bats fly, two figures sit before many small screens and, a console at the vase, with a multitude of levers and, knobs and flashing lights. In on of the two chairs before the bank of equipment a certain darknight detective dwells, deep un thought, left hand on his chin. Finally, after long moments have passed, he turns to the other man, dressed in blue and red; with muscles and, a cute quiff, oiled into the front of his hair and, in a dark foreboding tone, he says: “I’m telling you, the press might be able to handle you coming out… but, changing you name to Horace?”

Before I went to voluntary work on Thursday, I stopped off at my ‘beloved threads’, to see if there were any interesting, to read understand, or add.



Just before I’d left VR, I’d left a message saying, “to all to who ridicule the committed, I’m off to go poison the homeless.’



When I returned to VR after voluntary work I’d returned to the same thread, to see again, if there were anything of interest. And, as it transpires there had been.



My last entry posted had been removed, by the very individual who had attempted to malign my character.



And, I cannot, for the life of me, see what it was she used from TOS, to remove that entry, except perhaps her own reading of it. “Pass, who knows how she thinks.”



It was for this reason I wondered, “what will I find, next time I enter my ‘beloved threads’?” And, needless to say, I discovered what I thought I would.



‘Yes, she had done it again!” That’ll teach me to talk about being censured in public.. no, in future, I’ll be snidey, like those who censure and criticise as they have thought far…

And I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs.

Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you,

And I’m wondering what it is I should do.

It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face,

Losing control, yeah, I’m all over the place.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,

Well, you started off with nothing,

And you’re proud that you’re a self-made man.

And your family comes a-callin',

Slap you on the back and say, “Please, please.”

But I can see it makes no sense at all.

Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?

At the age of 65, Postlethwaite has died. He was being treated for cancer.

Born in Warrington he made his name at the Everyman theatre in Liverpool, being going on to appear in the British film movie, ‘Brassed Off’, before going on to star in several major blockbusters, including amongst many, ‘Aeon Flux’, ‘Romeo & Juliet’ and ‘Inception’. Spielberg is reputed to have said of him, “He was one of the finest actors I’ve ever known.” It is said that in return, he has said, “Spielberg say that I believe that I am the worlds greatest actor…” or an approximation of such. The timber of the remark suggests the character of the man, whose screen presence was such that whenever he was on screen, he captivated his audience, with his style, his performances and, natural gravitas.
