You're Very Statuesque Charles

When I worked for my first below-the-line advertising agency called CounterAttack on The Albert Embankment, I lived in Shepherds Bush with a bunch of housemates, including a married couple, a young homesexual, a budding entrepreneur, and a Kiwi before the Spanish cousin turned up. 

It was pretty normal stuff.

We were all what might be described in those days as young urban professionals, though my housemates had all attended better schools, and spoke better than I.

They were never condescending in my memory.

I think I had my first dinner party there, and a brother(in law?) of the married couple remarked as I stood up from the dinner party table. 

'You seem very statuesque Charles', or words to that effect.

I'd never heard the word Statuesque used before, but I could kind of figure-it-out, and so the memory of the word has always been imprinted on my mind.

If I was to stick to the subject of Statues in Southampton, there are only three I'm well researched on. 

One is Palmerston, who is a big effing deal in the follies of England. 

The other is Sir Isaac Watts, and the last I wont mention.

Sir Isaac wrote hymns, in a time when hymn writing and singing was very popular. 

What's this bro's statue, doing in my home town, I asked myself?

Isaac Watts (17 July 1674 – 25 November 1748) was an English Christian minister (Congregational), hymn writer, theologian, and logician. He was a prolific and popular hymn writer and is credited with some 750 hymns. He is recognized as the "Godfather of English Hymnody"; many of his hymns remain in use today and have been translated into numerous languages.

I read up on Isaac and his Southampton connection, but what really intrigued me was his contribution to William Blake's work, and thus Jim Morrison.

A couple of years ago, when I was researching Southampton statues, I formulated an hypothesis(sic). 

I determined that either we left nothing or kept everything, with respect to Statues.

Back in those heady days of 2018 or maybe 17, I thought let's keep them all. Even the genocider and well expensed.... Winnie sodomized cadets at Sandhurst, Churchill.

I've changed my mind.

Tear them all down. 

They are an obscenity to the study of history.

... wait, they are an obscenity to historians too.

I've been following Clif High for 9 years.

The early years were like podcasts on crack.

Particularly when his webbots picked up that a famous female politician was about to die.

"Who could that be?", "Who could that be?", "Who could that be?"

I demanded of myself in a surly manner.

Margaret Thatcher died a week later.

The webbots also picked up the Occupy protests, but because they are interpretive, Clif described it as people refusing to pay their mortgages and occupying their houses.

In the above presentation of the series critical thinking, that I've been following, I think he's back to doing some of his best forecasting.

We well see.

Брат-2 с английскими субтитрами _ Brother-2 with english subtitles from Vitalii Nekrasov on Vimeo.

My good Russian friend recommended this movie, and as he has never done that before, I gave it a go. I do that with all friends, which is why you've been seeing some write ups for Westerns of late. Not my genre, but entertaining to see it through other people's eyes.

This movie is well worth it if you like violent movies and it's available above in full on Youtube.

Ordinarily I switch off movies that fetishise shooting, because it's cheesy and unappealing for me, but as it's a Russian movie I persisted. A subtitled movie is usually a better bet for keeping my interest.

The main character in Brother 2 looks nothing like a trained killer, adolescent even, but that doesn't take away from his compelling performance. A really quality understated portrayal.

The movie is set in Moscow and Chicago and gives us a real flavour of criminal life as seen through the eyes of a foreigner, fresh on the streets of the United States (however long that is going to last at present).

Hollywood is largely responsible for the portrayal of different countries in a stereotypical manner. It's better now than it used to be, but watch The World of Suzie Wong to see the most excruciating of Occidental views of the Orient.

It's this movie's ability to get a sense of Chicago (home to Obama as he was being groomed for President by alphabet agencies and other parties, that we don't know their names.), which separates it from a domestic POV.

Every informed person knows the weekly murder rate in Chicago is the highest in the country, and is befitting for the adopted City of Barry Soetoro the cut out president.

There's some gruesome scenes in this movie. DIY guns exploding in sensitive places, rape porn being watched by the fat controller of a night-time establishment, and some excellent guns, which paradoxically I have slight fetish for, as design is often superb and obviously killing looters, rioters and violent thugs is quite topical as the scripted decline of the USA plays out in real life.

If you're confused by what's going on Stateside right now, you can see the recipe was created decades ago.

Watching this movie will help, but as you can see from my friends message, there's a lot more depth there, then I picked up on.

Update: The video has been disabled the day after I post it. It can still be watched within the Youtube environment, I believe.
