Homer’s llliad, and I’m his TROY.

It would seem that, before the naval battle of Actium – and this has a strong basis in historical fact as recorded in one of Shakespeare`s plays which I `ve just finished thumbing through – Mark Anthony quaffed mugfuls upon mugfuls of Earl Grey whilst intoning “ de gustibus non disputandum est“. Thus vivified, he embarked on a ship to do battle.

That makes the nations’s culture pretty vulnerable. Hacking and nocturnal visits by predators looking for pornographic material come to mind.

Dee, Your suggestion should be brought up in the upcoming constitutional changes. It should in fact replace that individual right of freedom of expression which is provided for in the constitution, but which come 2013 will become redundant. In fact, in 2013 the new government will operate virtually on Facebook. Instead of Farmville, there will be Maltaville and Gozoville, a game in which the government will build virtual roads, bridges, tunnels, schools and hospitals, and everyone will be part of the game pretending to be living in a cloud of happiness and LOVE.

taht idejk Daphne we like it!!!!!!!!!!11oneone!!

[Daphne – “I stroked a cat and 10 months later I’m still burping whiskers”: Iggy Pop.]

Unintentional my ass.

I’d like to share this magnificent quote, which I found while leafing through a 12th century Icelandic manuscript copy of Homer’s Illiad:

“The rosy-fingered dawn is best accompanied by a mug of Earl Grey.”

[Daphne – Give me a moment, let me just riffle through my Oxford Book of Facebook Quotations. Ah, yes. “We shall fight them on the beaches, but not with this bloody bugger of a drunken tooth fairy getting in the way.”]

Your nick’s double-intendre is unintentional, I trust. But it’s not far off the mark given the way he’s going.

Today teeth, tomorrow botox, next week a little head.

As for the prospect of Carry On Dentist (Confessions of a Zebbug Dentist?), go easy. We can’t get Bernadette ‘i like it ta!!!!’ too excited or she’ll have to stroke some cats to relax.
