thanks both of you. much appreciated. and hello and welcome, jaie

oh, and cj, surely the north has already risen. it is at least our second city - that conurbation i miss so much. this mids is nowhere, man. please listen. you don't know what you're missing.

oh lal la la.

but seriously, i love those pithy interpolations, cj - often amongst your best work. your disabling comments makes them appear like editorials, a kind of structuring agent on D4. I think they work well.

One time, well go up North, you and I

Thanks Lazare. You posted as I posted the above.

Russell CJ Duffy said...

no no, not your north! (love manchester - love the north of england).
THE north of america. there are still those who want to see it rise again with all its inherent historical baggage.

you and i in canal street?? surely not! lol.

thank you for your comments!

Was thinking more The Cornerhouse gallery, a bite to eat at The 8th Day, then maybe a pint at Via Fossa - yes on Canal Street, but with my wife, to ensure everything above board.

North America ... I like Americans. I have several American friends; and I celebrate aspects cof their culture wholeheartedly. America is essentially a European idea; and I am wholeheartedly European in my tastes, proclivities, and attitudes - if one can speak so generally. America is in alot of trouble politically, I'd say - more exactly, historically. It's fizzling out. Culturally, it's in short trousers most of the time, in my view. It lacks sophistication. But there are lovely exceptions. Take comedy: Woody Allen, Larry David. Wow. Double wow. But money speaks more loudly and less ambiguously there - so its cultural products are money writ large; and so, consequently, look a bit like advertising, they look a bit desperate. Case in point: saw Belgian horror film, Calvaire (The Ordeal) recently. Brilliant. Would never have been made in US. And that's a shame. Glengary Glennross was though. So there are things to like.

Gotta watch their bombs, though.

murmuruists>>>you provide the detail and insight that i would otherwise struggle to voice. i agree 100% about america and americans. love so much of their shallow culture but not a patch on europes. enjoy the liberallity they have droped onto us all. dislike their work to live ethos. much prefer europes work to live attitude.

as for a tour of manchester - culture followed by a pint with you and your fair lady wife...whenever!

CJ - '...dislike their work to live ethos. much prefer europes work to live attitude...'. Spot on.

Next time we are in London, we should endeavour to meet up. Spring would be nice.

I miss Manchester so much.

But do watch out for that film, Calvaire. Very good.
