Robert De Niro's Waiting

Hopes dashed to the floor

Like shattered teenage dreams

Boys living next door

Are never what they seem

A walk in the park can become a bad dream

People are staring and following me

This is my only escape from it all

Watching a film or a face on the wall

Robert De Niro's waiting

I don't need a boy

I've got a man of steel

Don't come any closer

I don't wanna feel

You're breathing, you're touching, but nothing's for free

I never want this to happen to me

Don't try to change me, you're wasting your time

Now I've got something much better in mind

Sex Education

My daughter asked me to watch Sex Education and the Grandad-Napper™ in me was immediately dismissive (defensive?), also more entrenched when I found it was a Netflix production.

I'm looking squarely at you Tavistock & Portman

Anyway, you too might be familiar with negotiating with your progeny, so I accepted the challenge and watched the first series...

Most unexpectedly on the first episode, I had my first belly-laugh since the Luckdown™. 

I laughed my ass off, when a courgette was used as an educational prop, in so much as the ubiquitous meme asks us, 'tell me where on this courgette, the internet hurt you?'.

When my daughter asked me how it was going with Sex Education, I explained the belly laugh reaction, and she responded, I was making her cringe.

Even though we both knew it wasn't my suggestion....

I noticed a film technique, that I'd never previously seen in Sex Education.

The series is set primarily in a faux (?) US late-eighties, early 90s; high school location.

All the actors (most of whom are quite brilliant) have an English accent.

There are time and location-shifts. 

For example, when two friends occupy different decades in terms of their bicycle head-protection or another cheeky contrast was to have both actors SMS texting when the year is self evidently wrong.

Let's leave that there.

In filmic terms Sex Education is quite tastefully done, though not always agreeable.

I love the Time Lord aspect of it. It has been done before, but never on this granular level to my understanding.

There are some very special actors and I'm going to try and download the second series.

What do you think of Sex Education?

The most curious example, in my opinion above, is the rejection of my card for 5.55 at The Key & Anchor, three times yet I only used cash in the pub that night. The screengrabs were arbitrary, I looked up from time to time for no specific reason, and noted the numbers which came at me like a blizzard. It was quite a wild ride but also not without intense interest.

A post of mine was reported to Facebook and the automatic review process has taken offence to starving and partially clothed people as above. There was a chance to appeal but in the end, I've posted loads on Churchill so I let it go.

That's OK as it's their business platform. Facebook was OK a few years ago, but it's not an activist tool anymore, though it has worked well in the past.

This post, I hope will remain in the public domain to raise public awareness of MKULTRA, Palestine and institutionalised child abuse.

I still have more work to do on this post but this will do for the time being.

Update: It still goes on but less intensive.

Just so all are clear. I don't wait for the numbers to align.

I merely look at anything with the display of a number (clocks, computers etc) and the synchronicity is there. The camera on my phone is broken so I'm unable to take photos and am restricted to screenshots. 

Otherwise, there would be more.

Dominic Strauss-Kahn's God Daughter To Press Sexual Assault Charges

As I predicted the disinformation in support of Strauss Kahn was immediate. The media have universally portrayed the man as facing political smear from Sarkozy. Then the Daily Beast via the auspiciously named Christopher Dickey portrayed him as a man with ' female relationship issues'. I'd say an accusation of sodomy rape is nothing to do with female relationships, and I also don't buy the subsequent story change to forced oral sex because teeth are the natural defence against any unwanted intrusion. Needless to say Dickey didn't have the stones to address my concerns as to his shill like language directly. Why would he if he's a paid mouthpiece? It's just business right?

There is a possibility given the context, that Strauss Kahn may have been baited, as he has many enemies, but let's not portray him as a ladies man when his own God daughter now wishes to press sexual assault charges on him in France. He's a widely known sexual predator as this full listing in Rue 89 details, and his game is up, irrespective of what the Daily Beast or other triggered brains are proselytizing.   What goes around comes around. Word.

Dangerous Data

Issabella Valentine

Jason Oke of Leo Burnett Toronto pretty much demolishes the idea that people tell the objective truth during quantitative questionnaires in a post today. It blows up the myth of veracity by demonstrating one of the most flaccid of urban legends. Any study which suggests that men are more promiscuous than women flops miserably by failing to acknowledge two really important factors. Firstly it takes two to tango and secondly many men exaggerate their sexual activity. Or maybe the figures have been 'inflated' by other elements? There's a time and a place for quantitative questionnaires and so in the interests of trying to make them workable I always say quick and dirty is a good rule of thumb.

I make no excuses for making a post with the most puns on this occasion.
