I bet he keeps a stiff upper lip.<br />Quite a remarkable personality I would say...;-)<br />Was he holding a cup of tea while he gave his report?<br /><br />In the end Inspector Ransack will turn out to be the only sane person among all the weird people in this story.<br />Shane please don't lose the energy to finish this episode, because I am all curious and looking forward to the solution of this crime mystery.<br />And this could well be the beginning of an Inspector Ransack series. The sloppy Ransack and his "most mysterious cases" with PC Sanderson as a running gag...oh, it's you again Sanderson?!<br />The monologue and its background in reality is the proof that silly dime novel(or penny dreadfuls)stories can be as serious as any serious topic in a serious dress. <br /><br />Greets from Miss Maud Marple ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119983411126542589.post-81034638036158129292011-08-16T01:59:47.931+01:002011-08-16T01:59:47.931+01:00oh yes, yes, yes that drunken domestic disturbance...oh yes, yes, yes that drunken domestic disturbance monologue is gold! i'm pretty sure i guffawed at this line: "And though it smells something rank nothing actually dies." gooood stuff... you are a talent.idhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225622110195088126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119983411126542589.post-29910399330512187442011-08-13T23:54:17.933+01:002011-08-13T23:54:17.933+01:00I'm not a great one for conspiracy theories bu...I'm not a great one for conspiracy theories but when you look at the first (and still most common?) victims of AIDS - gays, blacks, junkies - you do wonder...JoeMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821025539339799036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119983411126542589.post-90352118481935096022011-08-13T23:45:03.167+01:002011-08-13T23:45:03.167+01:00Hiya Joe,

When the hell will something be done about it? I'd like to be here in 500 years time so as to see what the real agenda with it was. I've no doubt we are living in a time of dark conspiracy and history will show that some really fucked up things were happening. If you look at all the conspiracy theories which abound (some even now blatantly credible) most lead back to: fuel, the planet's dwindling resources, population control. <br /><br />And as there are dirty wars so as the big players are strategically placed for when the time is right, so there are dirty worldwide governmental/secret service conspiracies to control certain things which if left to run free would be to everyone's loss. I really wouldn't be surprised if in years to come AIDS was shown up in history as a twisted means to control the population, with a secondary effect of preserving the resources that we are in short supply of. If you look at the HIV virus it almost seems perfectly made for this kind of a thing: Wipes out huge numbers of people (in some countries not only not only stunts population growth but drastically cuts it); For those knowingly suffering from the disease it hugely discourages them from starting a family (population control); from those not wanting to suffer from the disease it discourages sexual proclivity, and encourages safe sex (both population controls). That coupled with the strange origins of the virus (and the time it originated) points to something ot only man made, but man-engineered... created and spread for a very specific purpose. <br /><br />I'm not saying that that is the case, but am saying it's a possibility and for anyone who thinks it's rather fantastic that it's not the first time disease has been used to control or clear populations - smallpox - although it may be the first time a disease has been engineered (created) for that end. <br /><br />Whatever the reason, Antonio's looming death is a tragedy and it's the reason at all why I even mention the above. I just can't comprehend how with so much cash poured into this virus, and with almost every country on earth researching it, how the fuck so little progress has been made... it's unbelieveable.<br /><br />Antonio's not going to get better... and I don't believe in miracles, but I'll still hope for him: hope that somehow the world puts a wheelchair on top of a church, that somehow what's not possible will happen.

I'm not too familiar with the Python episodes (although that'll soon change as I've just been given a USB stick with just about every episode they ever made on it). But one of the greatest sketches I know of and love is this one:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXhnzIO5N30" rel="nofollow">Sir Eddie-Baby</a><br /><br />XShane Levenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863320007737754609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119983411126542589.post-28115070818446345522011-08-12T22:19:29.319+01:002011-08-12T22:19:29.319+01:00Hiya Ruth, a description straight from reality unf...Hiya Ruth, a description straight from reality unfortunately. I spent my first twelve years around such drunks and lived with one until I moved out at 17. Chronic alcoholics are crazier than crazy people. There is no drug in the world that does what months or years of chronic alcohol abuse does to someone. And I'm not talking about someone who goes through a bottle of wine each evening, or 10 pints a night evening drinkers... I'm talking hard hard drinkers who can't walk by 10am and yet are still pouring it into themselves at midnight. Not even Penn & Teller can explain how these guys don't spill their drinks! <br /><br />XXXShane Levenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863320007737754609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119983411126542589.post-58552862104500480772011-08-12T21:54:46.870+01:002011-08-12T21:54:46.870+01:00Hiya Jim, will post a quick follow up over the wee...Hiya Jim, will post a quick follow up over the weekend. It's strange how this story has completely taken on a life of its own. My initial writing of it was almost finished in three pages and I was going to post it as a single post. But I was unhappy with a little portion of the mid section, and it was delaying me posting, and so I took the first half and posted that so as not to keep everyone waiting further. I thought I'd finish the second part over the next couple of days and then get on to a different short. But now here we are, must be seven book pages in, and we've not even got Ransack back in the room yet! When it's finished I'll have a good look back and compare the long version to the short and see what I think we gained and what I think we lost and what would be the best way to write up future posts. Next stories after this one will be much more serious... I've a sci-fi(ish) tale and also a nice little ghost story I'm working on. <br /><br />Thanks for reading as ever Jim...
