Small dogs in clothing
If a dog needs a coat, is it a dog?
If you have to carry a dog, is it a dog?If you have to feed your icky wicky doggie with an icky sticky spoony, is it a dog?
If your little doggie shivers when it walks
Has a bizarre temperament, barks at shoes
If your little doggie makes runny messy-mess (which you don’t clean up on account of it being liquid) is it a dog?*
 So is it really a dog? Did you dock it’s tail? Does it have an Alessi feeding bowl and do you feed it organic kibble that you have moistened in your own mouth first?
Is it a dog? Or is it
AN ANOREXIC UGMO GNASHER POOPOOFIFI PIGBABY?
*Guess what I stepped in this morning?

Nice poem by our Friend
Policeman, Stoke Newington
Standing close up to a policeman ,
I can get a free look at his
uniform, its unrevealing midnight matt cloth
and silvery buttons, its clever gussets,
and places for his walkie-talkie,
yes, his walkie-talkie tucked under his tunic.
Serious tailoring.He glances at me sideways,
the expressionless professional
caught in this personal necessity
here at the cash dispenser in the street,
as if performing a secret habit: Don’t be ashamed,
I could tell him, It’s a normal function, we all do it.Satisfied, taking a single circumspect motion
to finish his transaction and reinsert
his wallet in its place, he walks on,
a bobby in a helmet, upright in a naughty world:
he’s a policeman with money, stowed
in the safest pocket in the street.

London Tornado
Um, did you have a Tornado yesterday?
Â
This picture indicates you did.
Freaky.
We hope you are all safe. It seems very surreal and very frightening.

Thai Brides
Radio 4, Woman’s hour have just done a couple of short plays about Thai Brides to order. You know I’m Asian, and to marry for love was an idea I had in my peeny weeny heart when I was tiny.       Â
Later my mother brought up the idea of an arranged marriage in my not too distant future. She insisted on educating me as a doctor so that I could in turn marry a doctor. I didn’t exist. I was a commodity. I was 13, to be 13 and imagine a future without love, it’s awful. I escaped.  Â
I don’t know why Thai brides do it, security, money, desperation. There is a web site for Thai Brides that I have been trawling to see what kind of men want to marry these women.The men mostly look like fat serial killers. They don’t speak the language of their intended bride. They always demand a young bride, 18-30 even if they are in their 50′s themselves.Â
This was my favourite statement by an older guy who looks like Norman Bates. The spelling is all his own…

Oh, Audition. The most traumatic movie of my life. I saw it by myself, in a mostly empty theatre, and when that bag jumps …

What did you think????

Not enough blood! The guy who played Ash was cool, but I wish they had done more with his scenes, you know, more build up to his insanity. I know they played it for laughs, but I think they should have made it scary, in the way that the film is funny and very very scary.
For a brilliant example of theatre that makes you pee your pants, you should see The Woman In Black, http://www.thewomaninblack.com/
I want to take Adam to see it at Christmas (perfect time to see it, when the London fog lies low) maybe we should all go together. I’m a bit of an addict to it actually, I’ve seen it about 5 times, just for the shocks! -

CHRISTMAS?
I thought you were staying in my barn at Christmas?
Now the lambs and the horses and the ducks and the chickens and the goats and the geese and the cats and the rats are all crying. And yes, even the Baker Boys would cry had not their tear ducts dried up many years ago. -

Yea that was a really good mini series. I hope they make it into a full blown show.

Hey! I loved that mini-series. I do have one question though. I was wondering if Joe Miller really did become an ‘object’ or not? I thought it was a little unclear about that. But everything else was splendiferous.

It’s like the idea of Harry Potter being a Horcrux. There is an interesting discussion of it here on the Sci-Fi channel furums.

Poor Nate. He is always going through these existential deaths.
