Just try and remember where you put it, lad!

Hey! I'm back ...... and front
He would say that, wouldn’t he?
A certain Mandy Rice-Davies is alleged to have coined the oft-quoted question during the infamous (but juicy) Profumo trial 50 years ago; and the man himself had already averred in Parliament that there had been ‘no impropriety whatsoever’. But the papers relating to the Denning Report which wound it all up are still not available for us to slaver over, presumably because there are still some Great and Good chaps around whose reputations might fade in the glare of exposure. http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2013/jul/18/simon-hoggart-sketch-profumo-scandal-lords .
It’s all very nostalgic for me too.

P-p-play!
Where did everybody go?
I know it’s the silly season – Dog Days even – but so many cherished charioteers seem to have evaporated into cyberspace. OZ, Bravo and Nym to name but a few former stalwarts.
If you have personal contact with them, please give them a bell or a rocket – whichever appeals…….
Little local difficulty
We’d better send an sms to LW to ask him what to do now
Satanic mills get the go
As we fully anticipated when we moved house, the C_nt’s three 500 ft. turbines have now been given an official green light (as you might say) by the Danish gubmint’s ‘Nature and Environment Complaints Committee’. So three monstrosities the size of the London Eye will soon overshadow the village a mere 600 m. away. Not to mention the poor birds whose migrations will be disturbed.
Those wonderful people at Siemens have proudly announced that these are ‘test’ mills of proportions not previously installed on Danish soil. So they couldn’t possibly offer precise data on their output of noise – or even their output of power! But hey! Who cares about a few villagers, their life-style, their properties and health? Roll up and see and hear the latest technology at work!
I see that our southern neighbours have some similar problems. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23229097

Inhuman wrongs vs human rights
What is it with the EU ‘mores’?
Not content with dishing out cash to southern states whose farming methods date back to Adam; with bailing out countries whose troubles are all of their own making, and moving their deliberations from Belgium to France for a few days every month by train (at a cost even the PoW would blush at), they now insist that convicted rapists and killers have the ‘human right’ to seek parole!
What happened to the old idea that such pests have forfeited their rights for as long as the Court decided?
If the UK’s monsters are detained ‘at Her Majesty’s Pleasure’, how can an overpaid lawyer from the Continent say they are not? Beats me.
Please indicate what you would do:
1. Hang ’em?
2. Detain them in open prisons in Dover with free one-way travel over the Channel?
2. Send them to live next door to the Eurojudges who want them freed – at the EU’s expense.
One for Tina
Here’s ‘Gorgeous Gussie’ Gertrude Moran, with her revealing outfit in 1949.
And Fred Perry daring to show his knees for once.
Ladies
She’s the most unlikely athlete to look at. None of the usual wasp waist and slender limb. But she oozes determination with her shadow-shots – all double-handed and as ungainly as her play. But she wins – and might just spring a surprise today. And then she’ll do this again, I’m sure. Wimbledon, 2 pm BST.
