Education in the Square....Taleban and Velazquez



Grizzly old fart was probably complaining about the protest!



Nice looking crowd......but where were my students.......................in fact it was a bit of a washout altogether....there should have been hundreds of thousands of students with their parents and friends.....instead .....................there was what seemd a noisy thousand or so activists.....shame.

While they roamed the streets looking for a government/peer group/public/dog to bark a response I went to take a look at the £12.00 a shot Velazquez show at the National Gallery. He was a genius at 19 with some pretty impressive work.........I guess he stayed a genius for a while longer...perhaps until he snuffed it.........perhaps not..........there are too many Art Historians careers on the line for that not to be the case. There was one painting with a number of very pointy El Greco noses in it .......................did they go to the El Pointy Nose club together?

There was a piece in the Observer today about the Taleban.........the article mentioned that a teacher in Afganistan was beheaded for daring to educate young women (There you go Socialist Workers Party............................have a rally condeming that obscenity................by the way you could also mention along the way your issues with Bush and Blair as well..................nothing stopping you doing that) What occured to me was thet these relgious fanatics and their opologists are so hateful of themselves and humanity that if they were not doing the god thing I suspect that they would all be pornographers. Posted by Picasa

So what do you do if you feel like blowing yourself up

What's with these folk who want to blow themselves up................for what..................these people must surely be desperately deeply malfunctioning narcissists? Psychosexual problems maybe...........maybe the first time they watched themselves wank was in a distorted mirror..........not a pretty sight...........but surely lads..... not something you have to kill yourselves and others for? They are soooooooooooooooooooooo foooooooooking dysfunctional narcy that they don't believe in any system to register a complaint or vote...............nothing is good enough for them...............in fact they don't want a system at all...................they are as delusional as The Red Brigade and Baeder Meinhoff were in the 70's and 80's. What can be done about it..............who knows..........maybe a change of diet, a little bit of generosity and stopping this crap about foreign policy.......................................we didn't see you on the March against ...

Back fom Greece

Well, have just returned from Zakynthos or Zante. Apart from a couple of dull weather days ...one at the start and the other at the end.....and a hotel that smelt of dead dogs, babyshit and nicotine stained underwear.....it was a good place to be. We escaped the Kalamaki resort and hotel with a hired car...and with the good sense of Isolde we went down a track to look at a Villa on the beach.....a good ten kilometers from the rooms from hell and with a mountain range in between. What a good move. We met Soula, the widow of Ville Fiore, who was beautiful, charming and deserved the money we paid for the rooms....in fact even more...money that is. From then on it was a daily vist to Zycanthos Town....a wheel around the views...and every second day a 10K run. The food scene...whew.....some desperately bad mistakes....and some gems. That's it for now...will post more pics as the week passes. Posted by Picasa
