we all had names, I know that much. and if you wanted to figure out someone's place in the world, all you'd have to do was ask him his name. Little Tinker was the mechanic's son. and the milkman's son, he was Splosh, of course. Mrs. Stevens' son Killer, what a gentle boy he was, never hurt a soul in his life, but he marched right up those gallows steps on the day he turned 18, because that was his name, that was his destiny, he never questioned it.
these days you see a group of boys playing kickball in the park, you cry out, "Hey Taco! Ho Huntley! How's the weather down there, little Darby?" and nobody answers. not a peep. maybe they don't have names anymore. maybe they're just numbers, symbols, bleeps and bloops on a mobile telephone. I wouldn't even recognize them anymore.

"Splosh"!!!
At this rate I'm starting to think more children than ever may soon kick a ball in the street. It's a bloody miracle.

Yesterday I came across a group of children raising funds to make improvements to the gutters of Society. A little boy with a hook carefully pinned a ribbon on my shirt. My heart was literally warmed.

Careful, you blink whatever is on your face, and suddenly you begin to call the stains on your unwashed dinner plate the plate itself and the mold that grows upon the stains is called the food. You call your feet your feet, but they no longer can slide into whatever you cover them with because it is not yesterday. "Why," you will say to yourself "just yesterday I wore a pair of shoes." Where are they now, I ask you

sometimes I think it's the holidays I miss the most—real, genuine holidays, the sort we used to have, when you'd go to the store with a friend to pick out presents for one another, rip apart the packaging and have a go at them there in the aisles, and not a thing the shopkeeper could do—hell, he was probably right alongside you, joining in the Michaelmas spirit!
course, Society was healthy enough in those days to handle a good scare every now and again. try that sort of thing these days, you're liable to get a swift boot in the jaw from an immigrant with no respect for the traditions of this great nation.

What's happening to buildings- real, proper, buildings? Used to be, you needed an office you built an office, so many bricks high, so many bricks wide, door in front, bob's your uncle. Now every school and hospital has to be run through the modern "art" nazis to feng shui the cure of the roof! It's madness, proper madness! Architects? Just gay engineers, I say!

California-based Cleese, 71, moved to the U.S. more than two decades ago.
What's with the photo accompanying that article, Cleese's head's looks like it's been pasted in from another photo - Terry Gilliam style!

I mean, I love having different cultures around. But when the parent culture kind of dissipates, you're left thinking, "Well, what's going on?"'
Cleese: "What happened? I am confused"

England used to be a lot more English. When I moved away from England to spread our cultural wealth in the 90s, you could still run into a Londoner on the streets of London. Now, London is full of people who aren't Londoners.

When he rocked up to LA all those years ago was he all: "Where are all the Americans, you know, the original hamburger-gobbling, baseball cap wearing Americans of my youth? I'm all for this new-fangled tolerance thing but when LA loses its parent culture, I have to say, there's something wrong here..."

So sad when cool people get old and start spouting crap like this. I don't think it's actually intended as a racist/righty statement, it's just something in the old grey matter that starts making itself more and more known as they get older. Like that Elton John thing where he said comething along the lines of all new music being rubbish, not like the seventies when 20 amazing albums came out every week

Looting and rioting used to be just a pure, good olde English passing of time. Now it's violent and, by god, non-London (looking) people are involved in looting and rioting too. They are ruining it for the real Londoners.

Of course these days you're not even allowed to call it a gutter. You have to call it a "patio parameter drainage facility or otherwise". "Patio" because otherwise it's offensive to the French. We won't know where we are in ten years time...

LOL the quality of her handwriting has a lower limit, reached only as a last defense against grave indignities.

"Even the F-word is commonplace among youngsters. As a child, it was only when I saw it written on a railway carriage that I asked: ‘Mummy what does f *** mean?’ The poor darling went ballistic, hissing: ‘That is the most terrible word in the English language, if your father ever used it I would divorce him.’

Barnardo's volunteer project worker Natasha Cripps, who commissioned the research, said the word "feral" indicated a complete desertion of young people.
or alternatively, that thick people use it as a synonym for "badly behaved" because they read newspapers doing the same

starting to behave like animals

Meanwhile in the areas where the coalminers and steelworkers once toiled, gaunt young men who have never worked and never will work smoke marijuana or inject heroin untroubled by an emasculated police force, and their sisters have babies outside wedlock, adding to the enormous number of fatherless families dependent on state handouts for their narrow lives.
