Atmosphere is important to media. We bounce all kinds of signals
through it nowadays. But we forget how fragile the atmosphere is. It
is a balance of forces in a thin veil wrapping Earth in life. But it is left
to the media to define whether the atmosphere is changing due to
man’s insanity. I think the probability that we are is enough to stop it.
But maybe the people aren’t angry enough yet. Anger creates quite a
stormy atmosphere – and it is better to have the storm in our opinion
than in the atmosphere above our heads.

BRIT NEWS: IMF rebukes Britain
for state of govt borrowing. Prudent
Brown was always a sham. He symbolises
spend, spend, spend culture.
BRIT NEWS: Business guru Digby Jones tells Mail On Sunday,
place top Cabinet jobs with businessmen. Do this and govt
for the people is over!
MEDIA NEWS: BBC exec calls older presenters
’silverbacks’. Proof positive of ageism at
BBC – and indication of why it’s
losing commonsense.
WEAR WHERE?
Modern fashion I often dread,
It appears such a slender thread,
Where do they wear it? I haven’t a clue,
Maybe they really need two;
And even then you can go very pale,
Wondering if it fits on head or tail;
But it seems to me they really pay,
For items that let bits go astray
MY HERO, MY LIFE
Fiction: Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life …
Copperfield would like those words, he knew. He sat back, satisfied.
It was the great question – the question his life’s work eventually
asked of so many, from Pip to Nickleby – even Ebenezer. As to
whether he WAS the hero of his own life, he summised that writers
always did, and always would, ask it – and not be sure of the answer
– for them, at least. But he was satisfied that he belonged to a craft
that inspired others to be theirs.
THE MONSTER
He creeps upon you mysteriously,
Somewhere else you want to be,
He’s in the world, doing bad,
Always making you very sad;
When he’s gone the world is kind,
He’s back inside your inner mind

After announcing my 1,000th post last week, fellow
blogger Dr John has sent me this symbol to celebrate
the fact. I accept this with many thanks.
