And another.

Just met a brilliant former English teacher of mine who now works at Wellington, haven't seen him in ten years. Morning instantly memorable.

Would that be Marnie Yates? She's a he?!

Seeing as she was so oppressed into being an overachieving Oxbridge highflier whilst at Brighton, she didn't half pick up a lot of friends amongst faculty.

Kids or no kids, my life will have been wasted if I'm not someone's inspiring English teacher one day. Thanks, Mr Clarke and Ms Yates

The blue suede shoes of the revolution.

The socks with sandals of reaction.

 

[butchersapron]

Oh, and anyone taking Starkey's claim involving my charging for a speaking engagement at face-value should speak to the society involved.

Doesn't look or sound like a denial of charging.

You win this round, Senor Apron - but we shall meet again.

she seems to deny it here

 

[butchersapron]

Doesn't sound very confident in her denial!

Didn't realise he was a Bangles fan. "Walk like an Egyptian".

 

[rekil]

Where's the violence? He sounds like a miffed flump.

apparently he gets her in a boston crab off camera

That's him - ta both. Cropper has a more weedy meek thing going on. He was loving it.

 

[butchersapron]

I see a fake event to see how much starkey/penny actually charges coming on.

 

[love detective]

lookey likeyes

David Goodhart

Roy Cropper

 

[butchersapron]

Roy's got nice beckoning eyes (and a charming smile), his look like he's prised them out of simon cowell's head/wallet.

 

[DotCommunist]

roy croppers photo there does not do justice to the true size of his jaw. I call 'shop

Look like pin-ups from the iris scanner kiosk of a Rule 45 wing.

 

[butchersapron]

Tired of all this. It's an exhausting way to live and not conducive to writing. Not going to jump to decisions, but something has to change.

Stop writing.

​

Leaping to his feet, Starkey began with a furious ad hominem attack before marching up to me, wagging his finger in my face, shouting abuse, swearing and showering me with flecks of spittle​

No he didn't. He didn't swear for starters.

 

[butchersapron]

Oh wow, she got money for this line, cold hard money:

Like the ancient lizards, Starkey and his kind are perilously ill-adapted to the modern world – but they have yet to be consigned to history where they belong.

Does no one read this stuff before publishing it?

 

[DaveCinzano]

No he didn't. He didn't swear for starters.

Hey, to an Old Brightonian, this counts as brass knuckles and baseball bats. That grammar school guttersnipe fights dirty with his aspirationally over-enunciated vowels. Brap!

I note he 'leapt to his feet' from a position of standing at the podium as well. This was only a few days ago - if her memory if so bad no wonder she is forced to hari things all the time.

 

[DaveCinzano]

But she's (supposedly) got an NCTJ! It's probably just temporary forgetfulness brought on by The Man's billy-club whilst reporting from The Trenches. or PTSD.

 

[DotCommunist]

quite fancy seeing Starkey and Plan B have a fistfight now. I'd pay to watch that
