Chinese Whisper

Thanet Council and I don't see eye to eye very much. Er, that might be a bit of an understatement. So I see absolutely no reason not to publish this 'strictly embargoed' press release from the council that has come into my possession.

It details a 'civic delegation' from China that's arriving here tomorrow (Saturday) to tour their new island territory, which seems only fair. After all, we occupied Hong Kong for quite a time there, so it's only right and proper that we hand over the Isle of Thanet as reparation!

I imagine this press release has been embargoed at the request of the Chinese, or some Thanetian squillionaire, in the hope that word wouldn't get out. After all, they wouldn't want all those frightful Free Tibet protesters and people who moan about freedom of speech in the People's Republic to turn out in force and piss on their parade, would they? Still, this has bollocksed that up, hasn't it! Maybe the Cliftonville whinger could get off his fat bot and wave a banner. He's always banging on about freedom of speech!

STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL SATURDAY 29 AUGUST, 15.00

Years ago a young man from Estcliff, called Richard came to me for help. He came in for pastoral counseling, and I agreed to see him only if his psychiatrist agreed and was kept fully informed.

That issue out of the way, his first appointment was made. My secretary brought me his file, including the pre-process forms I used. As I reviewed the information in the file, I was taken by the fact that one of his prior therapists was a famous psychiatrist. I thought to myself, “And what on earth am I to do if this person couldn’t help him?”

Oh, and for 9:44PM in the last thread (where you can no longer leave comments, thanks to some porcine Margatonian), under bras are the ones that you don (funny how the word 'don' works so well, when talking about tits), when wearing a low cut dress, working bras are the tatty ones that you wear to work and upper-middle bras are the seriously under-wired, sack cloth jobs, required by women of, er, gravity.

Hope that helps!
