Amazon offers a discount if you buy Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations at the same time as Marx's Communist Manifesto...

I was referring to peace-keeping in any language....not necessarily making money....and the Russians havn't got corruption licked either. Maybe some letters aren't red ? Did I get married in May ? I may have lost my way with a union or two ?! There's no end of books and quotes maybe ....my father in law was in Palestine, or maybe it was Israel....he was a Tommy not a Jew ! That was before I was born.....we havn't really moved any mountains since then?!
Some might get the hump over punctuation...and others, another, over a headress....at home, I really don't envy you.
As a kid I had my telly favourites....more recent inspiration has been from a Texan sheriff.
Have I done any justice in a paragraph or two; without inviting criticism nor controversy ? I flippin' HOPE so !

Way to go Ian!

In my shop, in a sleepy Sussex village, I have a lot of framed 'art' on my walls - run-of-the-mill stuff usually. But sometimes I'll hang something Pollack or Rothko-esque - just a load of blobs and/or splashes - and listen to the comments.

The run-of-the-mill stuff gets "Oh - that's really nice ........." and that's about it - even though the artist is just soooooo good - you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a photograph.

But the scary stuff gets people talking/thinking - and that's how I'm relating to you.

Maybe you're just nuts though?

If he takes inspiration from a sherriff in Texas, he's not all bad, iv read about the guy and he has his head screwed on, you do the crime and by sure you will pay for it, in every sence of the word.
