Hell&related Stuff

It's as well that I am fluent in Bollocks as were I not then this sublime piece of writing may have passed me by.
I must firstly explain that 'Bollocks' is an umbrella term for a number of different but homologous languages which have over time insinuated themselves into the English language. Examples are;

EAS, Estate Agent Speak, which we all know a little about having looked at the the difference between details given out and the property itself.

PAT, Politicians Avoidance Talk, this is where a politician can talk for hours but says nothing, an example is when asked a specific question he chooses to answer a different one.

SNB, Sleeve Note Bollocks, not now so prevalent and soon to be a forgotten form as Mp3 downloads will super-cede CD's which in their turn super-ceded LP's, which is where SNB could be seen in all its pomp and majesty.

LGF, Local Government Frippery, this being Local Government department's in-house competition to see who can come up with the most obtuse piece of writing and have it published in a brochure or some other document for public consumption.

What I have for you all,and Sixey in particular, is an example of LGF. This is to be found in the Guildhall-north Lobby, under the stairs to Southampton's award-winning art gallery.

Behold Southampton City Councils finest:

So that's it then, Barack Obama, the 'African American', is the new American President, not unexpected.

Whilst not obsessed with the elections I have been keeping a wary eye on the proceedings as whatever happens across the pond impinges on us here in Blighty.

I am concerned as to the whereabouts of Obama's running-mate. Has the old guy grown an extra head or what? I bet the majority of readers can't even remember his name, it's escaped me for the time being too.

I am concerned in that I have no idea as to Mr Obama's policies, his fiscal thoughts, his take on the Iraq/Afghanistan debacle, his ideas on anything.

I am a tad worried by the thought that if Obama hadn't got the
'First African American President' card to play, he would be nowhere.

I notice that when mentioned by name, Obama is also given the soubriquet 'African American'. I don't remember JFK being described as 'Irish American'. So until this descriptive term goes out of use race remains an issue in the States.

No matter that she was on the losing team, Sarah Palin, all round Hockey Mom and MILF, has had her stock increased many-fold. Is she really going to be the new face of American politics? I do hope not. She is enough to make me turn to Hillary Clinton, so that tells you how bad I think she is.Here's one of her quotes:
" I shall do whatever I like until the Courts tell me I can't". Nuff said.

Dennypoos............the voice of reason midst the chaos of life.
