Hi Ned,

You're wasting your bloody energy.

They wouldn't know what a 4x2 is if he pulled his chrome dome out and bollocked them across the mug.

Your sentiments are well placed.

This is a playground.

Meaningless shite.

A collective dump of nothingness.

At the end of the day, you question the acumen on all scores.

Best to you.

I try to avoid commenting, but every now and again succumb. Your comment was worth my energy. '4x2' makes me laugh. I love Cockney Rhymin'. My favourite aunt has been with a 4x2 for 50 years or more. My father's family all look like London 4x2's; we have the snozzle. I am so tired of the endless 'we're victims' syndrome. The extent of man, woman and child slaughter in Palestine today is off the scale.

Dr. Paul Alexander was a star during covid1984. My MP is former UK Health Munster Matt Hancock. Need I say more.

Best wishes.

Hi Ned,

Thanks for the kind words.

Here's a 4x2 joke you may like:

- Young Sammy comes home from junior school and tells his mom Rivka he has a great part in the school play.

Rivka says: “What part is it, Sammy?”

Sammy says: “I play the part of the Jewish husband”.

Rivka says angrily: “Go back to those idiots, and tell them you want a speaking part."

It's a pity the world has lost its sense of humour. 

I've just come back from watching a feature film at the cinema (I live in Cape Town), entitled "Civil War", written and directed by Brit, Alex Garland, about a future USA that has gone the way of proper insurrection. Garland said he was given such a hard time filming it in the USA, he'll never direct again.

The film is very subtle from a storytelling perspective and it won't gel with most audiences who don't want to think or want woke feel good fodder.

Here's the trailer:

Goodnight.

A South African with 4x2 jokes?! Funny.

That looks a pretty depressing film Barry. I've seen some of the clips before. I haven't been to a cinema for 10 years or more.

I used to do extra/stand-in/bit part work in TV, commercials, films. My last film was 5th Element c.1996. Working in that business gave me a peek behind the curtain. I lost all affection for the film/TV industry. There are exceptions e.g. I will watch My Fair Lady or Chitty Chitty Bang Bang anytime again.

South Africa? There's another history I've come to question over the last 10-15 years.

Good morning!
