The Stormcock Community

AR/

Well if yoof means the state of being young, I would beg to disconcur. But perhaps the older you get the more yoofs are around? In Wetherspoons Romford there were a gang of middle-aged yoofs intent on causing mayhem. I was trying to watch the mini-riots by The Old Lady on Sky and the conversations around me were getting progressively unpretty stabbingly horrific. Street cred I think it's called? When they all went outside to 'sort it out' I retired to the relative calm of The Golden Lion.

The history of GL quite fascinates me. Francis Bacon eh? I still think it would make a wonderful central place for impromptu Stormcock meet-ups in the future? Just the oaken beams Luddite architecture inspired me.

In the  late Eighties I got tangled up in Nott Hill and realised that every business, house, shop, person in certain streets were entirely heavily heavy drug controlled. They even had bodyguard lookouts at the end of every street.  Got ripped off and complained. They tried to run me over, I jumped on the bonnet, and came to, on a Tube hurtling through noisy tunnels covered in blood. Apparently they'd chucked me out from a speeding car at the station unconscious. I know it goes on in every city but when you are in the midst of it you realise that yoofs are just the messenger boys. The cartels behind, Yardies, Triads etc., constitute an elder established elite. The unyoothful untroothful.

Didn't mean to be hypocritical and sound racist against immigrants; having been brought up in early child-chill-hood in Gib and spent a third of my life as an expat.

[ Mum loved Spain and became proficient at their castanet flowing dancing. When I refer to her dance books, I  now appreciate how technical it can get in time to the music etc]. Even Morris Dancing there's a whole art to learn. She and Dad just loved all things Espana and I spent most of my childhood watching their activites opening Spanish Circles in Chatham, Portsmouth, Basingstoke etc.; whilst ignoring my Harperitis syndrome which I had contracted at the early age of 14 from my mad sister.

But we are a rather small island and eventually there will be a realisation point that it's getting a bit crowded, and there's millions of uninhabitated, unexplored millions of hectares of other foreign lands under-utilised out there. Why do they come here then? Materialism? Wealth creation?  Look at the sizes of just the other European countries for instance. We are just county-sized in comparison. Even the politicians can't seem to make their minds up over this; until it's too late, and the boiling kettle melting pot of mixed different races/religions/ideals will be primed to explode/implode. I'm sure the Police/MI5 already know this but can't seem to succinctly get it through politically to a parliamentary consensual platform.

 Bit like trying to reclass blow .  Probably coz 90% of the Cabinet have tried it and didn't understand it ; or were fearful of the effects? Altered states of consciousness can be quite intimidating to society sheep I suppose.Police again know the politicians are miles behind on that one as well. Which Class is it this month? Totally insanely nonsensical. I'm going to have to listen to FB&B just to calm down methinks!

ps You looked pretty Anglaise to me. Perhaps this is where 'Guernika' resonates from within you?
