Hey PF, like GB I'm also a common bloke who enjoys Sunday et al nights, football and bravado with the folks so could you please explain what the fuck is "wheels of economic progress....beyond the reach of political shackles"?!!
Or am I right in thinking that like GB you haven't a fucking clue!
DB- you said it! This guy PF behaves like the emperor who wore no clothes and was proud to flaunt his "suit".
What is remarkable is the fact that between golfing with the Clintons, yachting with Khashoggi, and dining with Queen Elizabeth, inking deals, liquidating his portfolio, jetsetting the globe, going on ski holidays, and writing copious amounts of stuff on Khankis, discharging his fatherly, brotherly and husbandly duties, he still has the time to read up on his Marx and Engels. This guy should write a book on time management. Passion Flower - awaiting your comments.
I just read a wonderful definition of an INTELLECTUAL ( one just like PF) - An intellectual is someone who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows
Hey,hey, HEY, stop slagging poor PF , now, will you, guys !
"the wheels of economic progress are way beyond the reach of political shackles." - is just his example of another Bushism ! Right , PF ? You really weren't quoting something you read in that days papers, now did you ?
Just because chuts like Dome and DB dont understand these political and economic concepts , doesnt mean we dont. I mean, I heard tell that if it weren't for the fact that you go globetrotting on your own company work , you had a good chance of standing for election in some county in Canada where you could cast your pearls and hope they dont fall among swine like DB and Dome.
Let not the ignorance of your buddies stop you from quoting verbattim sayings from your daily papers or whichever other economic tomes that line your wall .
What a bunch of smart asses we are... except that our lack of knowledge (e.g. it was actually Faqruddin Ali Ahmed who declaired a state of Emergency) which is so carefully camouflaged in impressive sounding words is given away by our atrocious spelling...can't blame that on our Cal education though... or maybe Xavier's was just better than the rest.
Now that's the way to get knickers in a twist!!
Gentlemen...that lesson was for free!
