Never Have I Ever
…done these three things:
- watched Dr. Who on TV,
- read a Jilly Cooper novel (although I might give in at some point because I despair at the level of modern writing and its authors),
- ridden a horse.
I always thought that Dr. Who was an infantile take on sci-fi — just hearing people talk about the show irritated me — so I never bothered. I kinda feel the same about Star Trek, although I have watched a few episodes of that series, always kicking myself for wasting time immediately after the closing credits.
I don’t know why I never read Jilly Cooper’s books, unless it was because of my misogynistic attitude to female writers. No, I can’t be bothered to explain that, either. Reading the blurb on the back of any of her novels, I always wondered why I would ever be interested in her silly, two-dimensional characters and fluffy inconsequential plot lines, and I’d return the book to the shelf, un-tempted into its purchase. The only thing I can find to recommend Dame Jilly, other than the obvious:
…is that she always had a very casual attitude towards sex, both in her writing and in her observations about the people around her. Not judgemental, she. Besides: it was the 1970s and -80s, FFS [sic].
Horses are filthy, fragile animals, prone to all sorts of illnesses, and even the “quiet” ones are always trying to kill you. Besides, as black powder and muzzle loaders have been superseded by metallic cartridges and bolt-actions, our transportation needs have evolved and we don’t need them.

Problem, Solution
From Insty:
In the interests of saving precious avgas, may I make a humble suggestion — because there’s no need to take them all the way over to Yurp, after all.:
I’m sure Doom Goblin* Greta Thunberg of all people would appreciate the IDF’s effort to save eeeevil fuel and thus pollute Gaia’s atmosphere less.
Just a thought.

Quote Of The Day
From Kurt Schlichter:
“Quick, everybody care what a bunch of impotent, fussy foreigners think about us! No, really, we should give a damn that some herring-gobbling fjord jockey is mad about Donald Trump. Yeah, Norwegians totally matter. But not really. No foreigner matters. Not Canadians, not the English, not the Arabs (especially of the nonexistent Palestinian variety), not the Papua/New Guineans. Here’s the reality. Most foreigners are trash. Most people who aren’t Americans suck. And treacherous Americans who presume to leverage the puny outrage of second-rate cultures against ours deserve our contempt and mockery almost as much as the foreigners themselves. They think we’re dumb, New World rubes with too much in the way of guns, calories, and Jesus.
“In contrast, we barely think of them at all.”
And that’s only the beginning of his most excellent rant. Read it all, and chortle.
