that's the truth, Ruth.

the Raleigh 20 was a bit more like The Ride of Shame

yeah, the Chopper preceded the Grifter. also very covetable, it had the styley 3 speed gear shift mounted on the crossbar. my mate's big brother had a brown one i sometimes got to scrounge a ride on. it was heavy as lead, handled like haggis, completely dysergonomic, and totally cool to those with childish tastes - a bit like american sports cars.

make it a theatre terrorism kit for the grant.
nice post David. bata bullets were cool, but they used to stink-up pretty quick after a few weeks' solid wearing.
Hadyn i like the story about the hiding the bike by saying it was for someone else then taking a year to believe it was really yours. i desperately wanted a 'Grifter', the cool proto-BMX of the day. it was a shit bike and instead i eventually got a much better quality, but less marketed bike instead - so i remained disappointed it wasn't a Grifter.
i hope your daughter has a lovely birthday. it's nice that she prizes your old toys, or parts thereof.

fish, and ships. i reckon it's all wrapped up with the newspapers somehow.

it's the fish that really matter

seems to me like a lot of the time rugby has little to do with rugby either.

Muldoon blog Dinner
That bloody Birch's pointy teeth are beginning to give me the willies. I've asked Thea to tell him if he calls again that I'm in the lav or having a nap.
Actually I was having a nap in the lav this afternoon when it came to me in another dream. It was a sort of big long floating cable thingy - I almost had my finger on it when bloody Banks burst in on me. Reckoned he was looking for some linament or something, said he'd pulled a muscle in the toilets at Bellamys.
Apparently Winnie was showing off and the young lad had fainted.
I'm not sure about that one. -
i'd add to the history list PT Barnum, Vanderbilt and Ivy Lee.
there's plenty of political influence coming out of ad and PR agencies i would have thought. you only have to look at the extent to which the vast majority of the general populations' regular source of political information is the msm. and today's msm is now largely gutted of investigatory power thanks to ongoing job-cuts to improve profit margins, so their 'news' teams are particularly susceptible to the influence of convenient, well packaged 'news' sources.i hope they weren't applying this one when you left. i had dinner with murray sidman once. he was really frail and really uptight about not eating salt.
i think skinner's hair looks pretty cool in that particular shot. although, no i probably wouldn't trust him with my kids.
i agree too that the cross-over between pysch, PR and advertising is a bit spooky at times.
