- Nothing takes the taste out of Marmite toast like unrequited love.
- The sky is blue, the grass is lush and ripe to sleep on. Sleeping
- is all she will though. Damn. Well the boot is on the other shoe
- now. Oh, no man knows: through what wild centuries roves back the
- rose. I always wanted to be different, and now I are. You should
- never have a hobby that eats. I am nothing, and everything.
-
- I am old enough to have heard of her, but too old to remember. We
- shared a continental breakfast, of Huit Heures Bix au Lait. I was
- happy enough to levitate a small cow. Well you know what they say
- about best laid plans. Never fear to love the imperfect beauty of
- a perfect girl. A closed mouth gathers no feet. Lack of patience
- is often an asset. Fools rush in the minute McDonalds' opens.
-
- I kissed her on the hand. One has to start somewhere. Before you
- meet your handsome prince you have to kiss a lot of toads. I have
- no angst to grind. Lost lanes of Queen Anne's lace. The hour for
- truth and her. And again, in solitary pantomime. This, too, will
- pass. I do not find philosophy very helpful. Ah, bidets are here
- again. It is dangerous to tell the people that laws are not just.
- The business of Government is not the government of business. Pas
- d'elle yeux Rhone que nous. If we complicate things they get less
- simple. Yes.
-
- Come into the xystus, Melissa. One yuppie in the morning can ruin
- your whole day. The absolute certainty of love does not excuse it
- of its courtesy. An Irish bull is always pregnant. Even Margaret
- Thatcher cannot live for ever. You know, I live in this wonderful
- part of town: you see them all, on a Sunday morning, washing their
- video recorders. If the Germans ever come back lad, I am lighting
- flares. The combination is delightful and new. It makes you look
- like a warm, caring, sensitive human being. Can I help you madam?
-
- Sorry, cannot think of any jokes. Maybe next time. That came out
- a bit glib, don't you think?
