Missile Defense

Casting is commencing for "Missile Defence Forum ... The Musical". All interested parties should prepare for auditions ... coming soon to a stage-lot near you.

Now who could we get to play the parts of the obsessed Cantabb and his obsession Mr. R Show? Any suggestions? Obviously these will be key roles as they take up 95% of the production ....

Director's choice: John Wayne and Woody Allen:

"Is your "IGNORE" function off-again, PIL...GRIM ?

"Connecting the dots" : Much over-used cliche: except when I..use..it!

Hmmm! If only we could get Foghorn Leghorn projected on stage!

The dots were joined by the gu Author BLAKE as per ...

Inscrutable !

Why is this [Guardian Unlimited "gu" article] on the recent book by Paul Burrel [Princess Diana's butler) of any relevance here ?

"What the butler knows" A lot of people know this man's secret. Do you? Blake Morrison on a new cultural divide. http://www.guardian.co.uk/monarchy/story/0,2763,1072500,00.html

Except that somewhere in the article he also mentions 'the dots': "....But Holden can't or won't say more - it's left to us to join up the dots."

For some reason, earlier, you had also posted this from that article:

"Facts, facts, facts," Mr Gradgrind demanded in Dickens's Hard Times. The best newspaper editors have demanded facts too. But what we are getting at present is rumour, rumour, rumour - as though we were living in the middle ages, not the 21st century. And what rumour helps to induce is quietism. As Shakespeare said in Henry the Fourth, Part Two: "Rumour is a pipe, blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures, and of so easy and so plain a stop that the blunt monster with uncounted heads, the still-discordant wavering multituude, can play upon it."

Rumour might suit governments, and salf-satisfied journalists, but it doesn't suit me. Enough of your secrets. If you can't tell me, I'd rather not know.

Strange !

Do you recall ME using that phrase ? {except in my response to the phrase-addicts). Get your facts !

"Irregardless," No body is more "obsessed" than YOU are with cantabb ! Your reverence of "Mr." R Show known for long.

News Flash: John Wayne died years ago ! Perhaps it didn't get to the South African velds yet !
