THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

David Starkey popped onto an interview with Sky News this morning to say a few things:

1. Firstly, to importantly point out that we are celebrating the WRONG Magna Carta. Apparently, it's the revised 1216 Magna Carta we should be celebrating. The initial one would have merely turned us into a Republic, whereas the revised one kicked off our utterly brilliant Parliamentary Democracy.

2. Starkey also stuck up a defending word or two in support of Nobel Prize Winner, Professor Sir Tim Hunt.

The latter has typically been nastily misinterpreted with his recent comments concerning the emotional differences of women. So much so, that the poor professor has been stripped of two honorary positions both at University College London and the Royal Society. In an interview at the weekend, Professor Hunt said that he was “finished” and that his career was at an end.

3. Starkey is in trouble with the SNP for likening them technically to the Nazi Party.

He has drawn a lengthy comparison between the messages, imagery and appeal of the Nicola Sturgeon's party and that of Hitler's Nazis.

a. He even drew parallels between Scottish men showing their knees in kilts and the Nazi enthusiasm for lederhosen.

b. The Nazis used the Swastika and the SNP have swiped the Scottisj Saltire for their own use.

c. He has accused the SNP of treating the English in the way Hitler persecuted the Jews.

d. He reminds us how the SNP have a passionate belief in economic self-sufficiency with oil, whereas the Nazis knew this as 'autarky'.

e. He claims that those who sympathise with the SNP, especially in England, are 'incapable of recognising that this is national socialism. And the nationalism is much more important than the socialism, as it was in Germany. The socialism is a very fragile, superficial thing. The nationalism is very real.'

Of course, the SNP, like wot they would, wouldn't they, have accused Starkey of being detached from reality.

Miss Oswald said: 'David Starkey's comments are irresponsible; deeply offensive to the Jewish community, the half of the Scottish electorate who voted SNP last month and 60 per cent who currently intend to vote SNP next year; and have absolutely no basis in reality.

'Does he just say the silliest thing that comes into his mind on any given day?' says
SNP MP, John Nicholson. 'He has become little more than a serial utterer of bile and bilge.'

So there we are. He makes an interesting academic point or two and which are probably brilliantly correct, but because it is 'non- PC' he gets shot down in flames. All in comparison like Professor Hunt.

I think Starkey is a fearless brilliant academic. At one time, I used to think he was just a pompous twat. Not so now, though, IMHO. In fact, I greatly admire him and also what he has to say.

Here's what 'Boris' appropriately has to say about Hunt this morning:

That brilliant TV series, "The Clangers", is back on the box at 5:30 pm tonight. These are guys who talk to each other with 'whistles'.

Whistle Talk really caught on big time back then when it was first aired.

The secret to successful Whistle Talk is, to try to guess what the other party is actually trying to say with his/her whistles. As an understood and obvious rule, both sides always keep it simple and so the words emulated are always quite easy to guess.

Anyhow, it's taken more than 40 years, £5 million, three kilometres of wool and one Python, Michael Palin, to act as The Clangers' Narrator to get this most charming TV show going again.

If the government strongly believe there is imminently going to be a stock market crash and recovery is going to take more than just a short time, then doing the following now would make damn good sense:

Sepp Blatter could remain as FIFA president if a "convincing candidate" to replace him does not emerge, one of his closest advisers has told Sky News.

Klaus Stöhlker, who acted as Mr Blatter's official adviser during the recent election campaign, said he is actively considering reversing his promise to stand down.

His comments come two weeks after Mr Blatter dramatically announced he would resign.

In a statement FIFA said: "Klaus Stöhlker's mandate from the FIFA President ended on 31 May 2015. The FIFA President would like to point to his remarks from 2 June."

In his resignation speech on that day Mr Blatter said he was going because he did not feel he had the support of the entire football world, and that he would not be a candidate in the emergency election.
