Sorry; No Fascinating Posting Today.


JE SUIS EN GRÈVE.

I've been looking for a totally useless, non-productive, self-destructive cause to support; and I think I've found one.

During this my one day strike (in sympathy with all UK Trades union members), I shall stay at home (I always do on Wednesdays), deprive the art world of any 30th November Cro genius, and if possible make a bloody nuisance of myself.

St Jude will be my hero for the day (he's the patron saint of lost causes), I shall refuse to walk the dog (unless he gives me those 'please daddy can we go for walkies' eyes), and I shall paint two large banners; one saying 'Down Wiv Everyfing', the other saying 'Up Yors' (both amusingly misspelled banners will be on sale on Thursday as genuine souvenirs).

I had intended to pitch a tent outside my front door for the day, but I think someone at St Paul's must have half-inched it.

If I can find it, I'll wear my red 'Junior Che Guevara Club' T shirt, and draw a 'Hammer and Sickle'  on my beret.

I was hoping that Lady Magnon would have joined me in my day's protest, but she just scoffed and said I should 'bugger off and live in North Korea'.... Charming.... I'm not replying to her; silence is an important part of my STRIKE.

    May I join you? I'll bring raw milk for us to drink and pretty soap for your lovely wife who must put up with you.

    What do we want?

    Gradual change!

    When do we want it?

    In due course!

    (I knew I would find a use for it)

    So you are going through your rebellious stage. A bit late, yes?
