About Me
- Name: dh
- Location: Virgin Islands, British
Hi. I'm Dick. I made a few quid buying old houses off English pensioners and flogging them to people from Bangladesh. Then I built a load of er...'compact' villas in Spain and sold them to the English pensioners. Later I got into trading English football clubs among Russian oligarchs. After so much public service I decided it was time to do something nice for myself so I bought a bar in Pattaya. Then all the riff-raff discovered Thailand so I moved to the Caribbean and bought a boat. That's basically how I came to be a rich old alcoholic dickhead sailing aimlessly round the Caribbean with a crew of Thai girls. Until recently. Those days are gone. The girls all went to see the Barry Manilow Show in Las Vegas and never came back. They'd been exploiting me all along. I felt soiled. I took it as a wake up call, cancelled my old credit cards, tied up the boat in the Virgin Islands, and settled down to do some serious writing. Keeping a watchful eye on the sea level of course. OK, my name's Edith and I live in a retirement home near Eastbourne.

W S B rest in peace. He had it sussed: "the American Dream" (all shite) and he knew it so long ago. What has taken people so long to realise- it boggles the mind.

A strange man WSB...son of a 'good' family drawn to the dark side. Dime a dozen these days...
By W S B. (I love this: Paddy).
"Thanks for the wild turkey and
the passenger pigeons, destined
to be shit out through wholesome
American guts.

and poison.
Thanks for Indians to provide a
modicum of challenge and
danger.

kill and skin leaving the
carcasses to rot.

Thanks for the American dream,
To vulgarize and to falsify until
the bare lies shine through.
Thanks for the KKK.
For nigger-killin' lawmen,
feelin' their notches.
For decent church-goin' women,
with their mean, pinched, bitter,
evil faces.
Thanks for "Kill a Queer for
Christ" stickers.
Thanks for laboratory AIDS.
Thanks for Prohibition and the
war against drugs.
Thanks for a country where
nobody's allowed to mind their
own business.

Yes, thanks for all the
memories-- all right let's see

of human dreams. W S B

And yet he chose to live in Lawrence, Kansas where he spent his last days reading Gun World, American Survival Guide, Soldier of Fortune and blazing away with all kinds of firearms. He was very American in many ways. I ran into him a few times when I was young and beautiful. Nothing momentous. He was a charming fellow once you made it clear you weren’t into bum fucking. I still like his writing style...the freedom of it. He believed in freedom. Real freedom from the greedy machine that wants to control our lives. But I'm not sure he had all the answers.
The Moslem community I guess wouldn't have very much time for Martin's jokes ha! but who wouldn't want his command of English that he's noted for. I do. I suppose.
A giant no doubt but when you become directly political it kind of fucks your art up as I think you have to change the heart - "win the hearts and minds" is the cliche now but it's true, but with the wests hypocrisy I think it maybe too late- am I getting political - I'll have to stop now.
Damn...I edited that last post and left out Amis. Now it makes no sense. Good. Yeah politics...invading Iraq was yet another chapter in the great book of imperial hubris. And Martin Amis approved. People like him see it as a clash of cultures. I wonder what Bill would have said about 911?
Fuck Amis, we know it's a dilemma and the bastards have us; we're over a barrel, whatever that means?
I guess it means we don't really know how to deal with the "clash of cultures," but we know something's wrong; so we can't put our finger on it, but if we can't see what Israle is doing right in front of our eyes, then we're stupid or blind, and we all know or should know who created the situation in the first place, or start finding out quick and stop the bull shit hypocricy.
Amis says: "Hey, the Muslim's don't share their wealth enough to develope their country for their people."
Naturally we do here in the west we build prisons; maybe not fast enough but we're getting there. We cater for everyone, we're in such a healty state. We even lend money to people who can't pay it back.
I'm taking your house tomorrow dh.
Why? God gave it to me, now push off.
Y;-) Paddy
It's as if we've all been struck dumb and paralysed. Look at the Democrats in the US....helpless.
PS: someone asked me where Israle. I said it was very close to Israel in the land of Jacob. Head out to the desert and ask any one where Covenant Road is.
