Mad, impulsive fool that I am, John, I'm going to make a fairly substantial bet with you that Ollie already knew that.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

You mean this one? Once a jolly ethnic
Camped by a billabong
Under the shade of an ethnic tree
And he sang as he watched
And waited till his ethnicity boiled
'You'll come a-waltzing Ethnicity with me'. |

My thanks to ernie at r2ok for this: it's Christmas every day=================== As the rest of the country pulls down its decorations to escape the curse of Twelfth Night, a man who has celebrated Christmas every day for 15 years will be making his home even more festive. Andy Park, 43, known as Mr Christmas, is putting up new tinsel and a fresh tree at his house in Melksham, Wiltshire, despite the superstition about leaving decorations up after January 6. Every day since 1993 the divorced electrician has breakfasted on mince pies and sherry, before opening the presents he has bought for himself =====================================  He is crackers  |
