Hey, Nick and thanks for explaining why all the brit. mysteries I read...oops once called a Welshman a brit. Very little amusement. Right now I'm Reading Ian Rankin, but that's the Scotch. But now matter what, all these cops are always hitting curry joints. [along with single malt whiskey. My current trouble is that I hit the cheapest vodka my Syrian purveyor stocks]
I thank you for keeping me up on things. We here in the land of plenty are currently going ga-ga over real estate values. Two house's at the end of my street are listed at one million plus. View of water, blah blah. and the reek of dead fish whenever a hurricane slips on by.
Right now we are "enjoying" a desert environment. Trees dying, people moaning and groaning about their lawns. [They make great parking spaces] Oh, yeah, all that spiel re: Ireland, etc. is part of my heritage. In fact two yrs ago a former cop solicited me for a contribution to a Statue for ...god, I'm a dork,
Tom Collins. Ny sister who knows of such things advised me to steer clear.
Anyway, last weekend I escaped the "Paddy Wagon" whilst out on a drunken foray against teen-age hooligans. But, god bless, me I still have my great=great uncle Bart's nightstick and. totally illegal, his "sap".
But as many an American...hey, we are off in our own world...I often rise to knee jerk eloquence and then am, well, abashed.
But my Candadian relatives swear that I and my cousin Francis are related on the bar sinister side to Eddie the seventh...I look like a caricature of the randy bugger...big feet, pot belly, and a nose for booze.
Is there anyway I might investigate this some more. I thought it was just a family hoax or joke, but have since found that the Canadians took it quite seriously. My Great Cousin Chet reminded me of the time when a horde of drunken Irishmen tried to invade Canada some where around the border of New York State.
But anyway, wait til the next revolution. The rumor is that Hillary Rodham Vclinton might bid to be our own Maggie Thatcher. [topic for investigation: PMS as it might effect a top female executive. This is purely academic mind you. The feminazi's are curently on a save the pets campaign but ...one never knows. This is by way of starting a new thread, I think. regards, Cockeyed.
