Is how my brother (who is among his biggest fans) refers to Peter Cushing. Partly because he read it somewhere, but mainly because, at six feet, he can lay claim to the, relatively dubious, distinction of being taller than him.
I can’t affirm the same fandomism (it’s probably a word) as he, but I do like a bit of Cush. Who doesn’t? I was, therefore, much hearted to find him, unexpectedly, on TV tonight. In an episode of The New Avengers called The Eagle’s Nest, there was Pedro, playing a mad German teacher, banging on about reanimating dead frogs and accidentally getting caught up in Nazi, world-domination plots. Brilliant.
Never really been a big New Avengers man. As much as I like Gareth Hunt and his coffee bean shaking, I’m afraid to say that Purdy is no Mrs. Peel.
The Cush certainly helps but I’m Mrs. Peel all the way.
Mary Harney. I hate Harney with a vitriolic passion that is difficult to put into words. This horrible harridan is, in my opinion, one of the worst and most despicable of the mange-ridden curs that inhabit the halls of power in this country. It’s the hypocrisy, you see. All that shite about voting for the PD’s so they could keep an eye on Fianna Fail to make sure they weren’t being crooks? Yeah, good job Mary.
The cancer balls-up that she’s currently overseeing is awful beyond words, but she continues to squirm her greasy way out of it. Calls to resign? Ha? That vicious bitch will never resign. Never. It’s not in her nature to resign because it’s not in her nature to accept some modicum of responsibility for the pathetic mess that is our health service.
Now, I know that it’s not just Harney that’s responsible for the Irish Health Service being in such a shambles. Bock has explained one of the other issues here and that’s just one of them. However, Harney asked for the job of being the minister ‘responsible’ for Health and Children and talked tough about sorting things out. She was the woman for the job. She was going to get things on track. Allow me to begin to sum-up my debate argument by saying “bollocks”. She’s sorted arse-all, the great bint.
It may be straying into the realms of ad hominem argument if I go on to say that she appears to have been devouring here own body, yet paradoxically growing larger on it, for twenty years but I’m going to say it anyway. Her arsehole and her mouth now seem to be effectively the same thing. Bugger to ad hominem anyway.
If she resigns, I’ll eat one of her feet.
