Whether I exist or not is bye the bye - though I <I>do</I> exist, as it happens - the important thing is that these needs are satisfied, so you can then return home and carry on being a good wife and mother and nobody need ask any questions.<BR/><BR/>(And I wasn't kidding you ma'am: I was in the Tate Gallery and I was thinking about you at exactly that time on August 7th - very uncanny!)Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471786437032205498.post-47287732050643902682008-08-27T20:48:00.000-07:002008-08-27T20:48:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471786437032205498.post-83535514682612744062008-08-27T14:40:00.000-07:002008-08-27T14:40:00.000-07:00Darling Gadjie-poos, this proves my new theory: si...Darling Gadjie-poos, this proves my new theory: simply by eschewing the horrible old real world with all its ghastliness and restraint, and by concentrating REALLY HARD on our lovely pretend world, we can be together IN SPIRIT, which is what Mr Pouncer thinks anyway. And you should have invited me to accompany you! Mr Pouncer has no objection to me socialising with other men, providing the purpose of the excursion is cultural, and the other man is one of my intern-net friends, because he doesn't believe you exist. You see? It's win:win.

Breaking the Waves is a spellbinding film, in my opinion; Europa is more weird.<BR/><BR/>Mrs Pouncer! This is amazing!! I've had a think about it and - oh Mary, Joseph and all the saints preserve us - I <I>was</I> thinking about you on August 7th at lunchtime; I can even put a time on it - about 13:30!! I was on my way to Eastbourne that evening but had a few hours to spend in London so decided to go to the Tate Gallery (not the silly one with the heads carved out of frozen baboon piss, the other one), and I was in the Pre-Raphelite section, and oh, you of all people know.... I just thought to myself: "all this loveliness, all this <B><I>gorgeousness</I></B>".... you can keep your Jade Goody's and your Abi Timusses, <I>this is my England</I>, and if only Mrs Pouncer was here to share it with me. (That's actually true; that's actually what happened; you appear to be mind-reader my dear lady!)Gadjo Dilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998278830936531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471786437032205498.post-14342232617516195902008-08-27T06:55:00.000-07:002008-08-27T06:55:00.000-07:00Gadjo, not apropos this thrilling entry at all, bu...Gadjo, not apropos this thrilling entry at all, but I have to tell you something most creepy. I was in the Virgin store, Rue Bastard, Rennes (no really; Google it then, you old cynic) trying to find a CD of French baby songs for a tiny niecelet, and someone had dropped a CD which I picked up, and it was the soundtrack to Gadjo Dilo! Can you conceive of my excitement? I desperately wanted to tell someone about my dear old friend from the ether, but I was all alone, so I just vouchsafed to the assistant that it had been wrongly categorised in the nursery section, and went on my way. Now, I want you to think very carefully: was I on your mind round about lunchtime on 7 August? Think deeply, Gadjo. I am conducting an experiment.Mrs Pouncerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06750280825519545045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5471786437032205498.post-20526035287596840942008-08-26T13:42:00.000-07:002008-08-26T13:42:00.000-07:00Definitely a challenging list this time!

Frankly, I could make do with just the train sequences - that's story enough for me.<BR/><BR/>Welcome back to my blog, Mrs Boyo - we've missed you savagely!

Europa is one of my favourite films.

I didn't understand chuff, but I'm glad that's not only a reflection on my wayward language skills.
