QUOTE (Simon Kirby @ Dec 9 2015, 09:30 PM) Prompted by TM's post here, who would be your ultimate dinner guests - choose five, anyone you please. My guests: Seamus Heaney Evelyn Glennie Richard Feynman Harold Wilson Jeremy Bentham Jeanne d'Arc They all of them saw the world a little differently, found some deeper reality and greater depth, and then found a way of getting that across so the rest of us dolts could see what they saw, and I think they'd all have something interesting to say for themselves at dinner. [Edit: And yes, it's Who's Coming to Dinner. D'oh!] |

The British interests in Iran were to be nationalised in 1950 or so. OK said the bosses. we'll blow everything up... Right said the legitimate government we 'll detain UK citizens (including moi) in camps. UK backed down and we were all evacuated on a battle cruiser. Who on earth would have called their son. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Roosevelt,_Jr. It was to do with communist influence in the area as well. "The great Game" 'Twixt Russia and UK empire. ce |

..and get Nothing Much to moderate... That was a surprise Spartacus. I don't post much until the thread has died and then I waffle a bit I settled in central London in 1972.Toured with theatre companies all over the UK and even Scotland. I have done a few visits for Simon's Newts. I have my own strange politics here.In Islington Emily "white van" Thornbury is my MP. Corbyn is up the other end (so to speak). I only post when it is simple. |
