Julia Clark, 53 years old with a husband and three grown up children, met and married an Egyptian and went to live there with him.
Then wondered why it all went wrong when he more or less lost interest in her very quickly and decided to marry an Egyptian woman, since under their laws he is entitled to have four wives.
I think the Supremes had a song about that, ‘Love makes me do foolish things’.

A while ago now I gave an IsAC kicking to those wearying tropes that infest films (especially American ones). You know, those tired, hackneyed scenes and bits of dialogue that lazy,unoriginal writers and directors just can’t resist throwing in. It was something I had to get off my chest.
Well I’ve recently spent some time recovering from surgery, and have watched a lot of ‘movies’, and boy, did those bastard clichés just keep on coming. Here’s a further selection of dialogue that should have been put to death years ago;
*if you kill him, you’re no better than he is
*this isn’t what it looks like
*I got this/I can do this
*we have to get the bullet out/we have to stop the bleeding
*I want your badge and your gun
*we have to go right now
*you’re gonna have to trust me on this
oh, and in case I forget…
As if that shit wasn’t bad enough, here’s another selection of scenes to make you grind your teeth;
*spies/villains checking the compartments in the ‘wash room’
*the hero walking away from a huge explosion without looking back (in slo-mo)
*a stolen suit or uniform always fits the hero perfectly
*cut to the view through a cardboard cut out when someone is using binoculars
*snap/snap/snap rapid photo images when someone is under surveillance
*heroes walking strung out in line abreast (slo-mo of course)
and again, lest I forget, it’s…
I mean come on you guys; is this stuff really the best that you can come up with? Fuckin hell, let’s get outta here.

FAR RIGHT NOW UK’S BIGGEST TERRORISM THREAT
Data just released shows that the UK faces a bigger threat of terrorism from white Far Right extremists than any other group.
The Misogyny is Terrorism Act 2025 was steered through Parliament by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper. This introduced two tiers of misogyny into Law.
Tier 1 applies to members of the Muslim community for whom treating women like dirt is a cultural norm, and therefore exempt from the Law.
Tier 2 applies to all others. This month MI5 confirmed that 25 million white men are now on their terrorism watch list, easily outnumbering the 40,000 Islamists.
When reporter John Smith asked Mx Cooper if the Law had been deliberately created to criminalise white men and distract from real terrorism, she accused him of misogyny and he was arrested on the spot. He is now facing terrorism charges.

Music Is Officially Dead
( to Gen-Z )

15 second, sped-up snippets of songs.
I`ll repeat that: 15 second, sped-up snippets of songs.
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that music
Used to make me smile
…
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
I have nothing else to say, except Look What They Did to My Song, Ma.

County of Norfolk flag, would they allow this? C.A.
In the small village of Claxton, Norfolk (pop. 300) some of the communidy are appalled that the national flag should be raised next to the village hall. This is because our country’s standard can be seen as “divisive” and “nationalistic” or “anti-immigrant”. By whom? The media are rather quiet on this. The assumption is that the complainants are residents of Claxton, who feel* that showing the national flag might put off people who would otherwise want to live there – almost certainly code for immigrants.
Couple of points there: at last we have a solution to the boat problem. Simply erect a huge UJ in the middle of the Channel, and hey presto, no more immo misery! And I search my meagre recollection of history in vain to find anyone unwilling to invade/resettle these islands since ( and including) the Glorious Revolution because we had a nasty flag.
Unanswered is the burning question: why anyone living in idyllic and still mostly British rural Norfolk (bar the odd Kurdish kebabista) would even want to encourage the type of shitbrained cunt who thinks our national flag is a symbol of racism?

*”Feel”: The use of this word was adapted by Miranda Blair as an infinitely flexible substitute for “know”, requiring as it does no confirmatory data.
