That Rupert speech again, via Steve
Also from Andrew Bridgen, whence Steve found the items:
Noel Coward also warned, in 1952.. “There Are Bad Times Just Around The Corner”…
… and with “What’s Going to Happen to the Tots” (1955)…
JH: I’m thinking Chuckles would have enjoyed that.

4. Those awful ads intruding at random
I replied: “Absolutely. I can just about stand the TUA travel ditty … at the other end is anything with the wrong demographic for the scene.”

2. An amateur news service?
If you gradually slide into such a role on a blog, it requires certain things which “just an outlet for a blogger’s opinions” do not fully cover. Mind you, the reader has his own way of finding diverse opinions or even bias confirmation … it can be called blogrounds, often first thing in the morning.
Which is fine for many readers, including the rounds of the MSM. Something which a blogger with aspirations to cover far and wide from an antiWoke slant … what he discovers … is that regulars start feeding in reports, and like Kate at Small Dead Animals (blogrolls, fifth column there), it’s mainly men who overtly take over that role.
The female likes to find a warm, comfortable nest though from where to do her fearless Amelia warrior stuff and X is one such nest … there are females everywhere in that colony, from the outspoken (useful and useless) … to the more reticent, the “reposter”, in this case below … “Missy”:
If you were once, say in your day job, a junior headmaster, then a prep school head, you are going to be in contact with the female almost constantly, inc. at home and you quickly find the most astute ones, the ones who notice fine detail, plus the children who also notice things, a bit like the Baker Street irregulars.
So I was evaluating Missy … a bit over a thousand followers, similar number that she follows … and that in itself says something … lack of narcissism for a start, not one of those females out to attract simps and those who think with their tadgers … seems Brit oriented, ultra reticent to show herself, likes to observe … and among those are some of the most useful bellwethers from long experience.
One I always look out for as a reposter is Vicky, one of the original, fearless Kippers, plus Inese, delicate and dainty, I bet with rooms full of accumulated elegant items … she’s a fellow pureblood. Most men pass by in pursuit of, for example, the artful haggis up hill, down glen, hot in pursuit with the hounds.
Here’s one of the morsels Missy captured:
“Hillary is leaving out one very important detail… Clinton: 2 million with no protests. Obama: 5 million with no protests. Trump: 600K with PROTESTS and RIOTS. This is all manufactured by the Democrats to stop Trump. They are causing the violence.”
Morsels all over the place.

a) The administrative court of Nîmes ordered the mayor of Robion, a town in the Vaucluse department, at the beginning of the month to remove a wooden cross located on the town’s outskirts. The mayor has announced he will appeal the decision….
b) What do you think of this email to nietspE?
“Hi Jeffrey, it’s Anna, Caroline’s daughter and Jack Lang’s granddaughter.
I’ve been working at a summer camp for a month now, but I’m really struggling there, and so are two of my friends. They’re being really mean to us. So I was wondering if we could stay with you in New York from Friday the 7th to Sunday the 9th….
c) The bureaucracy in France is mad, stupid, wearisome.
Having lived in Haute-Savoie since the age of three, 23-year-old Archie Morrissey’s dream of joining the prestigious Marseille naval fire brigade has been abruptly halted.
Born in London but raised in the Giffre Valley, the young man was denied French citizenship, a prerequisite for applying….
d) The Eps**n Files and the 100 Most Powerful Figures.
JH: As someone pointed out yesterday, such a list, with no context, with perps mixed in with those only discussed from a distance, is next to useless, as Pammy well knows.

I’ve heard some more recent numbers by them … in fact since the Covid troubles … and they certainly took awhile to get it back together again … the jauntiness, the sense of fun was not there imho. Don’t forget the vaxx factor either.
The singer Erica made to go solo with Shay’s help, then there were the New Orleans authorities who made it clear they were not wanted on the street, which had been their milieu. They did gigs in closed spaces, they went overseas, e.g. to Toulouse in France, they seemed to need money, the playing wasn’t as “on song”, again imho, as if they’d lost their mojo.

The third is also 7 years ago:
“This noir B thriller from 20th Century Fox shows the temptations that the police are under. William Gargan stars and plays a doggedly honest cop who has a homicide literally dropped on his doorstep at the precinct headquarters. It’s almost like someone was taunting the cops to solve this one.
The victim in Behind Green Lights was a seedy private detective who had a nice sideline in blackmail and no one really is going to mourn his passing. But the case is loaded with political implications because Carole Landis, daughter of the reform candidate for mayor was seen leaving the victim’s apartment.
The largest newspaper in town is supporting the current administration and Roy Roberts says that the easiest thing in the world for Gargan to do to advance his career is pick up Landis and book her. At least until the election is over which will be in a few days. Something about Roberts sticks in Gargan’s craw. He could easily justify holding Landis and helping his career, but he won’t do it.
There’s a nice array of suspects and by definition performances. There are two keys here, a very sleazy medical examiner played by Don Beddoe and a bag lady played by Mabel Paige. Between the two of them the real story comes out.
Behind Green Lights bears no small resemblance to Detective Story in structure. Most of the action takes place in the police station. This film is nicely paced with a few good comic touches. I can’t mention them because they are within the plot structure and not just added on. This noir film is a good one to check out.”
Elevenses … short hiatus for lunch and tasks, film later.

6. At Quora … chap named John Arogano
I ignored every single warning sign my body was sending me for three straight weeks before I had a massive heart attack when I was forty-seven years old. I’m talking about signs like stress, indigestion, or just getting older.
I thought that only movie stars who clutched their chest and fell over in a heap had heart attacks. I had no idea that my body was sending out warning signs. Signs like fatigue that just wouldn’t go away no matter how much I slept. Signs like jaw pain that I attributed to grinding my teeth. Signs like indigestion that antacids couldn’t touch. Signs like shortness of breath when I climbed stairs that I used to climb easily. I ignored all of these signs until I fell over in my driveway.
The truth is that your body will send out distress signals a month or so before you have a heart attack, but most people will ignore these signs or write them off as minor symptoms.
Here are the actual symptoms. Severe episodes of inexplicable fatigue, particularly in women—your heart is working hard to pump blood effectively. Difficulty breathing while performing ordinary tasks—your heart is not receiving adequate oxygen. Periodic chest pain, commonly attributed to heartburn. Pain radiating to the jaw, neck, shoulder, or arm. Cold sweats without any apparent reason. Nausea and gastrointestinal problems. Dizziness or lightheadedness. Irregular heartbeats or palpitations. Most people suffer from these symptoms for weeks before the actual attack.
Thanks to a guide that I discovered to survive when the shelves are bare, there is no electricity, and doctors are not available, I learned about various methods to identify key health alerts and employ potent natural remedies to promote heart health before the disaster occurs. This guidebook has literally saved me by learning the symptoms of cardiac trouble and reversing my heart disease by making lifestyle changes since my heart attack.
But now I no longer just push through symptoms or write them off as normal signs of aging. This means taking persistent fatigue seriously as a symptom of a heart problem. Seeking immediate care if I have chest pain or inexplicable shortness of breath. Recognizing that the symptoms of a heart attack are often not dramatic but subtle. Tracking blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Supporting heart health through healthy eating, rather than waiting until an emergency. And, of course, recognizing that your body always gives you a warning before a big event—whether you’re listening or not until it’s catastrophically too late.
