This entry was brought to you by Italics Fighting The War On Terror? Winning (ahem) the war in Iraq? Mapping out the Road Map to Peace (it leads to a cul de sac, apparently)? You could expect any of these things to be the finest, most impressive legacy of George Bush' Presidency to date (in his opinion). So what did he say when asked by a German paper? Catching a fish. The most powerful homo-erectus* in the world, ladies and gentlemen. Damn, I've just been reminded that I'm meant to be trying to write something. Hell, it was six months ago I started and so far I've only produced about three little set-pieces and a couple of strange little asides. Case in point - I spend two minutes thinking about it, write this: Bob and Andy walking along the railway tunnel at the botanics, Andy noticing the debris left by generations of neds - buckfast bottles; used condoms; burnt and blackened aerosol cans... a squirrel pelt flayed and hung on a wicker frame against the damp white wall...** ...and then think, gosh, "that's good" and promptly stop for another month. Dammit. Anyway - back to bad tv and being beaten at online Risk. David Blaine: Damp squib. (If, of course, damp squib is a fairly generous term for a prima donna, a media whore and someone in deep and desperate need of public adoration taking it to the point of idiocy). Dave xx *erectus because, well, he's hardly the greatest example of sapiens. And it sounds vaguely rude. ** and yes, I know that doesn't mean much to you, but it works for me. Sorry about that.
