(1630) Going to drop Monday quiz, keep Fridays … gives me the chance to accumulate cunning questions over the week. There’ll still be LatL Mon and Fri, Baroque Tue, Jazz Sun as always. By the way, I suddenly have Fri gals and Sun jazz ready … how bout that.
18. Lotus Elan
Wiki says: “Lotus Elan is the name of two separate ranges of automobiles produced by Lotus Cars. The first series of cars was produced between 1962 and 1975 as a rear-wheel drive vehicle. The second series was produced between 1989 and 1995 as a front-wheel drive vehicle.”
Your question this evening is which series is the snazzy Elan below? Bonus question … who played the girl in today’s episode of The Persuaders?
17. Juss sayin but …
… today’s Persuaders episode was rated their fave in the series by the two leading men … a few minutes in, you’ll know why.
By this heading, I mean Nov 18 and 19 … there are three issues … two gripping Britain, one of those hypersensitive, there’s a third which should but currently does not grip Britain as it should.
Third is TE, Ginge and Whinge and there’ve been hints and urls dropped on it which I shan’t explain further, nor who has brought the good oil. Look and ye shall find.
Second we’ll call Southport and this is the one which is hypersensitive, I must protect all of us here as this meathead has a stasi to send to people’s doors. At the same time, it’s still going viral out there on soc-med. Please understand that some of us live in this country and have zero protection within our borders … those in the US and EU are safer. That’s why, DM, I went shtum.
First is tomorrow and here we go:
Put this bollox out of your head please about farmers having it cushy etc. … that is NOT the point. The point is that this is the thin edge of the politics of envy and greed … communism … nothing less. It says you have no right to private property which you then pass on to progeny. You think they won’t turn to you once they’ve stolen the farms?
You worked for what you built, it’s yours, you dispose of it as you wish, at a price you wish, NOT to be bleedin’ commandeered by govt. This is the entire difference between western and second/third world.
The story so far … ran a few episodes of redheads, auburn, brunettes … then came full circle with blondes … I have twelve straight away to run. But it struck me, not being racist or anything (me good boy, me) that I needed to broaden demographics a bit, so here goes … any idea who any are?
Anticipating heavy criticism because of the reduced size of images, I plead the way the big firms buy up any good images around the world and so I’ve had to use low resolution, if still well framed pics. Sorry bout that.
(1144) Ordinarily time for Ladies at Lunchtime, let’s put them at 1230 today, fashionably late, followed by another Persuaders … and run 11 and 12 for our “French” contingent now. (1159)
12. IYE has a vid at 882
JH: I know not a lot about Tobias Ellwood, except in passing, various blogposts etc. I found these two quickly, have only skimmed the vid so far.
More some time later, a few days? Never? 🙂
11. DAD at 882
a) New damage to the plaque on Samuel Paty Square, in the heart of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. A few hundred meters from the Assize Court where the trial of those responsible for his beheading is taking place…
b) The message is clear, unambiguous, frank, direct. No detour in the narrative. Just the essentials. For those who believed them lost, crushed by the state machine, the system, the yellow vests still have their say in this fight. A fight of ideas above all. IDNF participated in the reopening of the Longpoint sur Orge roundabout this Saturday.
c) While the SNCF Rail unions are calling for an unlimited strike starting on December 11, in particular to denounce “the destruction” of Fret SNCF, Sud-Rail is holding a different position.
d) Most people know that the French Revolution was against the Aristocracy, but do not know that the Catholic Church and its Priests were equally hated. One group of priests were put on an island and were starved to death, others were drowned.
“Having been called a liar by Anthony Fauci for saying that “not one of the 72 vaccines mandated for children has ever been safety tested”, RFK Jr. sued Fauci.
After a year of stonewalling, Fauci’s lawyers admitted that RFK Jr. had been right all along.
8. Steve drops at 881
§ Rogan says Biden voted Trump, Lara in Rubio’s place, Minnesota Election Judge Arrested, Musk move in Alex J Onion thing, the Biden Russia attack.

7. Age and zeitgeist
No, I didn’t watch it, just screenshot it:
I can understand Tyson though, money or no money, which was admittedly a yuge factor, plus the nostalgia … one last fling to test yourself out, back in harness for a short time … plus the other guy. I say well done … if punters are going to pay, well.
It concerns me at my age now, that I’m out of harness, having not had a real fight for a long, long time, mainly keeping my gal and me out of trouble … and there’s another reason, to quote John Arbuthnot Fisher around 1900:
“The essence of war is violence. Moderation in war is imbecility.”
Absolutely … he’s quite right. But it’s more than total, brutal attack by ourselves on the other … it is, in war, where the lives of our troops are at stake, every last one of us, an imperative to conduct war with that in mind … Putin’s currently doing that … the issue is when to engage, when not to. Rorke’s Drift and Custer’s last stand were not only reckless and stoopid but also genocidal. You have to keep your men alive and your powder dry. Charge of the Light Brigade … stoopidity.
It does mean though that when you do engage, you have to be brutal. I learnt that in rugby as openside flanker … full on, even if my shoulder did ache afterwards. And it’s individual combat I’m more interested in, with all these “fighting age sav-“ er – men about, particularly strategies for the older man.
In short, there’ll be more of the savs than one, they’re unorthodox, fit, savages. Therefore, your response must be to forget words, do your learned routine … yourself savagely. You’ll win in half a minute, which is all the energy you have … or you’re going to be kicked, gouged, nasty things. There really is no choice. When you’re outside these days, you’re watchful 270 degrees, plus you’re ready to attack full on. If you can’t do that, don’t go outside.
But you need a certain base fitness all the same, plus a background at least in playground scrapping in your yoof. Reason I mention all this, aside from Tyson, is a youtube short of two guys with MAGA sign and some Woke weakling starts a foulmouthed tirade at a distance, they goad him, he instantly loses his rag, pink shorts n all, bends down and hip first, “attacks”, blind hatred on his face. Last second, they step aside. “What you gonna do? Bleed on us?”
The second thing I was thinking was Laura Perrins this morning. Laura’s a darling but she is, after all, a gal, a mother to be precise, and mums adore their sons unconditionally. The young man she’s defending made all sorts of errors … the first was not being gallant towards girls, plus being morally strong. You just can’t do that as a male and get away with it.
As for taking his own life or whatever, these two generations are morally bankrupt due to the new soft but vicious culture. He’s obviously not Christian either as it’s a one way trip to hell to top yourself.
I was not brought up religiously but we did have a certain firmness of upbringing, we learnt to handle ourselves. My dad and mum wanted me learning out in the world of hard knocks, well done I say. Before you approach a girl, you need to be able to handle yourself … and I don’t mean that way. I mean, these things were just basic for us, no one actually taught us … no big talking BS … it was the zeitgeist, wannit?

5. Defoe and Swift, where are you now?
Were you to interpret the heading to mean Taylor, then you’d not understand most hints in this item. Why would you not know who Swift was meant to be? Education, chums, or lack of it. They failed to teach it and the next question is why … why did they not teach it?
Moving on and assuming you do know the Swift I’m on about, you’d have also noticed satire used a lot, memes today, you’d have noticed the crackdown on memes across the west … Defoe was punished severely once it was understood what he meant by the quickest way … so this thing is by no means new … past month, past few months, past year, years, decades, centuries.
At times, traps are set … for example, why would this still be up? https://youtu.be/flXRBgNVuio?si=34GrAXQLrFK_bXOU Curious. I just saw a picture with a tool and David Kelly’s boss in the same meme … wonder why? The trouble when pundits go coy is that innuendo and leaps to conclusion can follow, with varying degrees of knowledge in various people making comment.
Changing tack … looking back to an old gagging, an old injunction now, a real Giggle it was, involving people as diverse as footballers, comedy programme panellists and politicians … incidentally, I wonder where Louise is just now … it does bring in crooked members of the judiciary, does it not? They know a lot about that across the pond by the way.
One chap interesting me just now is Rupert, giving us the Lowedown and how he’s got away with it so far, but Nigel hasn’t. Time to run this again … isn’t he a farmer? Interesting lot, farmers, dangerous lot.
Just received a message that it’s all over the internet now. Well, there can be but two outcomes … either the oppressor doubles down, arrests everyone under the Gates clouds … completely disproportionate prison sentences following, often in inhumane conditions … TR for example … or he falls, ignominiously, resigns and escapes any punishment.
