Thought for the day

[davywavy]

If I ruled the world then I would actively encourage people to engage in 'Slacktivism', like so many people I know on LJ do. The more people sit at their computers, convinced they can make a difference by filling in e-petitions and writing long LJ posts, the fewer people there are out in the real world actually doing something to change the world.
This is something I, as despot, would wish to encourage.

How true, how true

Terry flings open the doors of the wardrobe, to let us see his 155 waistcoats, 82 lounge suits, 24 dinner jackets, 38 pairs of suede shoes and 96 ties. "D'you know," he says amiably, "people in the press accuse me of being a bit of a spendthrift, especially on clothes. But really, if it wasn't for my taste in clothes, I would never have been given the boot by the Union Cold Storage Company, and I might still be working there now, as some beastly manager or something. And living in Finchley, heaven forbid! I mean, really, can you imagine it?"


Try as we do, none of us can quite imagine him living in Finchley, a drab part of north London that has not distinguished itself in any way, other than by producing Terry-Thomas.
