PORN! Port is for drinking.

I have nothing against the showing of images of consenting adults engaged in non-violent sex but port is for tittilation, whereas a movie is for storytelling. I can't think of a single movie in which a simulation of sex has added anything

Point taken and sorry if I have offended. It seems tome that the more realistic cinematic représentation is the closer it is to pornography. But what do I know? Trevor Howard and Celia Johson were obviously gagging for it but didn't get it on, which is the whole acheingly sad thing about the story.

There is a technical reason for this. It is to do with camera angles. Mâle sex actors are sélected for penis length.

EVEN WORSE JOKE.
Wife returns from consultation with doctor in distress. Husband asks what is the matter. "He said I had a pretty fanny". Husband bursts into consulting room. "I will get you struck off!". Why? said the doctor. I just told her she had acute angina.

Guys. If you dont know your way around, ask for directions. And follow them. It's easy and it works. For both of you.

I don't know. I have little experience of average women. My (relatively few) lovers have been exceptionnel women.

Stan, an elderly US Marine Colonel, introduced me as "My Welsh Communist friend". "I am not a Communist" I said. "I am far more radical than that"

So happy that some Americans follow UK politics. Americans I know in France are not interested in US politics. They are mostly quite wealthy and maybe don't want to reveal. Values transcende politics. But politics is what we have to work with. Some people seem to be cut from the same cloth.

We are awaiting Israel's permission. From a state that is denying Palestinians the neccesaries for life. Israel will only consent if it is sure airdrops will be ineffectual. As for flyng critical cases to the UK, that probably convers most of the population, which would suit Israel nicely.

Of course I judge you, and do not find you wanting in the things that matter.

Hate Speech

I hate seing women and chidren being maimed and slaughtered. 
I hate Genocide
I hate ethnic cleansing
I hate the use of fear and hunger as a weapon
I hate the use of food and water as bait in a human trap
I hate the dehumanisation of people, whatever their race or religion

If this is hate speech then I am guilty of it. If having a shred of humanity is a crime then I am also guilty of that.
But the true guilt lies with those who have the power to stop such evil and who, by not using that power, are complicit. And I hate that too.

Must be 55 years plus since I read Catch 22 but it stays with me still. Time to re-read I think.
