Vintage Hollywood !

                                                            What is it about vintage movies and actors that survive the test of time ? What substance do they have that's lacking in the most up to date movies if you compare them both ? Everything in vintage was suggestion and innuendo , nod of the head and maybe a wink if the leading man was lucky . You had people like Howard Hughes designing a bra to be specially fitted to Jane Russel's breasts . There was voluptuousness in  all the ladies on show , never an indiscrete line to be crossed . Your imaginations ran riot and the pleasure of just watching sheer class in motion was the only enticement for you to visit the movies .
                                                           I had my favourites , there would always be Marilyn at the top of the list , Grace Kelly always made it too , and for sheer talent , and beauty you had to include Audrey Hepburn . Roman Holiday if you haven't seen it is a must see ! Everyone had their favourites and they were mine .
                                                           When you look at the male of the species , you couldn't look any further than Steve McQueen , he was a mans man . And was never truly rewarded for his work and craft in Hollywood , though to be honest he never seemed to actually care about it . Maybe that's the reason he was overlooked so many times .
                                                           My other favourite leading man is and always will be  Jack Nicholson . From the first time I seen him in Easy Rider I seen quite early how mischievous he was about to become . He has a certain je ne sais quoi about him , something that's not clearly evident , but when he's in full flow he lights up the screen like freshly risen morning sunshine . He's naughty , he always had a thing for younger women , and when he play the part of "Nick" in the Witches of Eastwick , it seemed the part was written for Jack and only Jack .
                                                          Enough of the nostalgia , but I will finally say , best movie of all time ? Now that's a real hard one , but for music talent and Grace Kelly it has to be High Society .
                                                          Tomorrow I will probably reconsider my choice , but for now I will leave you with my rendition of " While I give to you , and you give to me
                                                            True love True love
                                                            So on and on it will always be
                                                            True love true love
                                                            For you and I have a Guardian Angel
                                                            On high with nothing to do
                                                            But to give to you and to give to me
                                                            Love forever true...................................................
                                          Goodnight Everybody ! XOX

Zionism and its Supporters , A Cancer That Needs Extracting !

When you see countries committing indefensible acts on their fellow human beings , something must be said . Not just in objection to those acts , but to remind everyone exactly how evil a position can be taken by supposed civilized societies . Take the Jews for instance , because they suffered at the hands of the Nazi's , the world welcomed the survivors and leaders with open arms , saying this will never happen again . This statement in itself was to be commended and lauded by anyone with a hint of decency . The Germans had done to them things that should never be spoken off . But lest we forget , this is an example of how one society can turn on another at the drop of a hat . Now lets start thinking hypothetically , take your own country wherever you may be , lets just take the Good Old U.S.of A for example , and for the sake of argument you don't happen to be a world power with nuclear weapons and such .There you are minding your own business , and the United Nations

Happiest of New Years Everybody !

                                                                    In the huge scheme of things we live our lives in a way that has been somehow mapped out for us .  We wake every day and do the things that are expected to be done by others , but mostly by ourselves . Most of the time we are pleased by our efforts , and sometimes we just let ourselves down . And that's okay too , because we're not as perfect as we would like to be , or as others might expect us to be . We are as good as we want ourselves to be , or as we hope ourselves to be .                                                                    Now at this time of year I tend to get a little sentimental about stuff . You know what I'm talking about ? Family , the future , the dog and I suppose a little about our own mortality . The rest of the year seemingly it simply doesn't seem to matter . Christmas and even more importantly the change over from one year to another is so deep in our character and

A Ghost in my Machine !

                                                        Being forever the optimist , you'd wonder what could possibly change my position regarding the same . I never get paranoid , well nobody has complained about my demeanour recently , so I'll take that as a positive . But you know when something is not sitting with you too well ? You kinda feel that because certain things are happening so out of character , that well something you think is amiss .                                     Take for instance last Friday , I go to my laptop and practically every app I use is asking me to change my password . Normally if one asks I will put it down to something updating or whatever , but when most of them ask you kinda feel something is just not right .                                      Then you decide to change your operating system back from Windows 10 to Windows 7 your original operating system , and your laptop stops functioning entirely .Wont even let you boot up in safe mo
