If you've seen any of the recent Dr Who, you'll know how shamelessly New Labour it is. No surprise that the most recent Doctor actually said that Gordon Brown is the smartest man in the room (what room? a padded cell?), and that he's afraid of what Cameron will do (what? nothing at all? me too.). It proves that the Doctor actually is from another planet.Vladimirnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-74735500482087712762010-02-15T00:21:27.105+00:002010-02-15T00:21:27.105+00:00PS Bring back the original Tom and Jerry And Roadr...PS Bring back the original Tom and Jerry And Roadrunner and Coyote cartoons.hangemallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-42776012244966100892010-02-15T00:19:19.277+00:002010-02-15T00:19:19.277+00:00A chap in my local buys retro editions of the Bean...A chap in my local buys retro editions of the Beano somehow or other for his grandson. The little sprog much prefers these to the modern stuff.<br /><br />This must mean something. Probably that "naughtiness" is something natural and attractive to younger (and not so younger) minds, but with a proper upbringing we can identify the difference between fact and fantasy.<br /><br />Controlled (in a personal sense) fantasy is a required quality for the sciences, and to a certain degree the arts. It leads to originality.<br /><br />The humourless incantations of modern teaching do much to harm the young mind and society and the the prospects of scientific and even spiritual (sorry to use that word) advancement.<br /><br />(If the above seems a bit disjointed it's because I'm at the Talisker again.)hangemallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-19875002749868489102010-02-14T22:16:58.151+00:002010-02-14T22:16:58.151+00:00@ Labour Luvvies

He drinks in our local along with his new breed of Daleks who are cunningly disguised as little old ladies on go-karts. They're still deadly. Some still carry sink plungers but most have moved on to prodding people with umbrellas.<br /><br />Angry Exile - McCoy didn't get much of a chance with me. I think I gave up after two shows. The article makes clear that it was his own fault.
