I have to say that its always a pleasure to be back in the big city after a night out elsewhere. The professor was exceptional company last night and on royal top form. For obvious reasons i cannot declare his identity but "Prof Lee" will suffice. Like my esteemed colleague Baxter, Prof Lee also has a taste what we call the christmas cake filly, and he was proud to show off his latest. A very pretty little thing from the far east. She is studying Russian Philosophy.
The Professor is also an ardent commentator on politics and the media and was keen to hear about the blogging exploits of yours truly. Our last discussion of the evening, or should I say our last sensible discussion of the evening was about the absurdity of the daily mail and patriotism.
Dont get me wrong, Im all for singing about and defending the rights of old blighty, but when oiks like Nick Griffin are let lose all manner of things can ensue. Lest us not forget we are a nation of warmongers living off the riches of the slave and opium trade. Thats our empire and our legacy.
(it should also be noted that during my long and illustrious career in HM Forces I kept these opinions to myself, one of my tours in Afghanistan in the early 90's was for the protection of the local 'crop' from pillaging tribes, I have and will always defend our country but lets be under no pretensions as to how we got here)
At the moment I am currently sitting in a very genteel hotel bar in Fitzrovia sipping tea and watching the media types and pop stars strolling past, and will shortly be meeting Baxter and then off for a jolly good flutter at a private club he knows. Life doesn't get much better than this.
