The Scheme

Thu, 27 May 2010 04:42:48 -0400

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Discovery Health Medical Scheme (“the Scheme”), I invite you to our annual general meeting (“the meeting”).

“The Scheme”. Says it all, really.

Does no-one listen to DK anymore?

aardvark@vark.com to me:

Hi Bryn,

I’m sorry — I couldn’t find an answer to your question about **brain**:

Is my cock big enough? Is my brain small enough? For you to make me a star?

I’m best at finding answers to questions that ask for tips, advice, and recommendations from your trusted network.

Some kinds of questions tend to not get answered, such as solicitations, potentially offensive content, questions seeking really rare knowledge, or questions that seem insincere.

Please try another question!

Thanks,
- Aardvark

“Angry, bewildered and shame-faced these Edwardian drunks stare into the lens of the police camera.

They were ‘habitual drunkards’ whose offences included being caught while in charge of a horse, carriage and even a steam engine.”

Let the Right One In

Finally saw 2008’s finest Swedish Prepubescent Vampire Romance / Coming of Age film yesterday. An emotional sandblasting.

“The bar girls lift men out of themselves. Their brio is infectious. They chatter and coo. They flirt and circle. They settle and scuttle and work the crowd. It feels a bit like sitting too close to the comedian at a show. You know you’re going to get singled out. You know the spotlight is going to land on you. It makes you furtive, ever ready to flinch or grin. The showy force of their availability is like the onrush of a waterfall as you stand below looking up. Thai bar girls could coax life from a corpse. They’re the truly wicked witches of the East – irresistibly profane and lithe as gymnasts.”

““Even the use of our national flag was an issue. It’s absolutely outrageous. We’ve signed over our country, its symbols and our economy to one Sepp Blatter. Nasty.””
