The Prettiest Sewer...

Once upon a time, there was a public consensus that we were proud of what our public employees did, that we demanded that they work in beauty at a place that shouted that it was built for the ages.



Even the place that pumped the sewers.

I wonder if somehow they knew that government service in general was about to go right down the toilet?

It's a shame Mr. Parkinson never revisited Chapter Six. What would he have made of today's public buildings, known to be shoddy, temporary trash at the time of their design?

The old buildings are gorgeously human, though. Enjoy.

So, via Ann Coulter, a fun little movie...

Yes, that Ann Coulter. Go figure.

It has just about everything:

Pretty music, and a snappy song.

Bonus behind the scenes look at a holy place.

Two profoundly gorgeous dancers.

Someone than whom I dance better. (A very rare thing indeed)

AND, it looks like everyone connected with it had a good time every minute.

Thank you for making me smile and hum all day!



Next time I'm in London, drinks and dinner for Leanne Hainsby and Shelina Somani.

Hey, I can daydream too.

PS, Joe Stilgoe gets it from his father, here's an earworm for you:

I Hope My Neighbours Like Them Some

Veronicas!

And if that's not eighties enough, there's this.

But the new material is good stuff, particularly this.
