Borat does Corfu
Hilarious stuff.
Apparently, Corfu is,
" ... predominantly of the most spectacular rubbernecker destinations in all of Greece.The ait [sic] opened its doors to cosmopolitan visitors and tourists method primal in 1970s. It has been more than three decades without delay that the islands tourism infrastructure has pinched people from a beneficent and far-reaching.
The beguiling countryside, elaborate olive plantations, thousands of reject produces like fruits and herbs, slander impetuous flowers, wonderful hamlets on the mountain slopes, up to the minute coastal villages, excellent beaches and some compelling and famed museums and churches enhances the islands notorious as the dab hand bequeath of absence ambition in all of Greece.
... Boutique hotels capability be valuable but they are advantage the mephitic elaborate.
... You may also arise across a Corfu B & B that is situated on a hillside and provides unmatched feeling of the ginormous Ionian Sea as spurt. In proves of those who esteem a gainful Corfu B & B nigh the bank, as a replacement for them there are plentifulness of choices.
Another respected discredit someone’s dilapidated a rУle advantage mentioning is the transportation powder-room provided nigh a Corfu B & B. All such far-out services and features at a Corfu B & B can confidently bring round the hearts of its guests bringing them to this wonderful ait again and again."
Wonderful stuff.
I would never think of clicking to 'cancel riposte'.
A delightful "promenade over alliance in house of tourism contumely".

Greek Anti-Smoking Laws
I'm still hoping that a mass of Greek apathy will see this off or that it'll slither away - like their handling of scandling.
I'm already much encouraged that the authorities themselves don't seem to know the full facts and that crucial elements still have to be decided upon, let alone put in place.
The law in a nutshell
Mayan 'apocalypse' crop circle
Pukka
With my unerring magnetism for the foot/mouth interface gaffe supreme, I'm in no doubt that Daphne or Piers or even Sinbad are bosom buddies with this cove.
Loadsa citified chatter about stocks and props and parties and hearties, all delivered at volume 11 lest we be not impressed.
Cell phones rampant, both to the boatman and the chap's broker and trainer.
Anna and I exchanging winks and giggles.
Disputes over the Greekness of the mezes and the hima-ness of the krasi.
I asked the staff who was this kamala but dismissive shrugs.
The yoof sons ogled Miss Anna, of course, which rather took the wind out of stern pater's sails.
During the nosh he got a bit Brideshead with the hired hands and I gently offered an alternative attitude.
Mistake, of course, but the wine had got to me.
He even offered advice on The Spitfire's smoking.

Ian Tomlinson RIP
From what I could make out, Mr Tomlinson was doing no more than standing there - facing away from the police, including the officer who comes up behind him and thumps him to the ground.
"They seem to only have one trick."
- More than 'disturbing', you silly moo. The Filth must be hopping mad. It exposes the uniformed bully-boys as nothing but lying thugs AND it shows up their masters in cahoots right down the line.
Three year wait for inquest
Second attack: Blimey - big bastard, that one at the top. Wouldna've liked to have been the lady who copped that truncheon slap.- There's clearly a lot more like this under the dung heap
Violent and aggressive
Dept of They Would Say That: Police chiefs defend
Third post-mortem on Ian Tomlinson.
Ghoul merchants, pornographers of death - Tommo coverageDrunk carpenter saws off penis
Ouch! Yaroo! and all that ....
All the same, I'm sure there's less than meets the eye here:
Think about it:
"This was an unfortunate accident but these things happen all the time to people in his profession."
Well I never.

Corfu Blues
Cool new blog by Jim Potts whose two blues albums I *keep* meaning to review online here.
