you see what i mean about a separate website where all these these things are made plain.

when you kept going on about Seaham Cemetary, i thought it was a place. maybe somewhere where Ake exercised his dogs.

1% of the population of where, Ake. you've got that one wrong. have you never gigged a gay pub. there are bloody millions.

lets face it mate - if you choose to live miles from anywhere, you lose touch with reality. this village, i've retired to   - its like Planet Daily Mail.

its only Mrs Thatcher who thought she could solve the global economy by holding up her shopping basket. like Miss Marple who thought she could grapple with the powers of evil at every church fete.

microcosms of the world are misleading. perhaps because in small communities, minorities are cowed into keeping their heads down. try not to be so sure you have a handle on the world's problems.

musket has seen a lot more of the world than either of us, and he comes from a culture where they call a spade a fucking bastard shovel. i don't like the way he talks about you. but i sort of understand it. in large communities, you see the fruits of intolerance. plus he's getting on in years.

like they said about Curly in City Slickers - try not to piss him off!
