I don't. I think they lost me the time
Yeah, the guy is a knob.

Or... building up to the big one here... you a cryptic crossword fan? The picture is heinous.

I need to, so where's the link?
Go to a well known site & start working down the links, ignore the ones it obviously isn't, I found it on the fourth go.

And so forth.
Where's the amusement?
It was only funny when the monkey was around. (Make up your own mind whether I'm meaning the blog or the show).

Rather mysteriously, the flag-waving English are clearly of the opinion that Jerusalem is a patriotic hymn
I wondered about this when I was a kid attending Risca Town School in Wales in the early 60s & had to sing it in assemblies.
Then I saw an episode of Till Death do us Part in which Alf is asked by his daughter "Where do you think Jesus was born then?"
He replied without a hint of irony (although the same could not be said of the scriptwriters) "Bloody England of course!"
And it occured to me that that is what many assumed, because in those early school religious studies classes, and later at Baptist Sunday School in NZ (atheist parents opportunistically arranging a child free sunday sleepin), there was no mention of historical location at all, and the messiah was portrayed in pictures as a handsome white guy with a beard & long hair.
It was lying by omission, with the song, and bible stories, I figured Jerusalem & bethlehem must be small towns somewhere in the north. But not as far north of course, as Scotlswand, becauise they were all godless heathens.
Actually, between school & TV at the time, I was around 8 years old before I even realised I wasn't English.

How about we start exporting children? There's a burgeoning market among US celebrities.

something that suggests there is a way to make money other than buying and selling houses
Mate, have you seen the state of the stock market recently? (says one who finally, finally offloaded his surplus houses & has entreated his spouse to please stop attending open homes.)
