My neighbourhood in Dublin was taken over every summer by Spanish language students who stayed in Irish homes and no doubt went back home speaking a strange form of English. My amigo was Ignacio Preciado whose parents ran a pharmacy on the Ramblas and as I learnt about Barcelona’s role in the Civil War and the suppression of Catalan culture under Franco I developed a fascination with the city which I have waited too long to expiate. The Catalan people speak two official tongues - Catalan and Spanish - and their culture has what some may call a more ‘sophisticated’ flavour than other Spanish regions, perhaps due to the influence of neighbouring France.
Leave the Iranian people to sort out the regime which is oppressing and failing to deliver for its people as they sorted out the American installed Shah who took power from Mohammed Mosaddeq who was removed in a coup on 19 August 1953, organised and carried out by the United States CIA at the request of the British MI6.
But of all the stories of Liverpool immigrants the two strangest are probably those of Paddy Hitler and Paddy Murphy for interestingly Liverpool had a strange Axis link with both Adolph Hitler’s nephew and a relation of the Japanese Emperor Hirohito living in the city.
However when it comes to the story of knickers not everything goes down well. For in the US of A they are called panties, not knickers. There you have it, Diedrich Knickerbocker, a fictional prophet not without honour, save in his own country.
Is this the same European Court of Justice they are talking about, set up by the victors (including Britain) in WW11 to stop the creation of Police States as happened under the fascists (low point Reinhard Heydrich, the NAZI’s poster boy and chair of the Wanesee Conference was the pre-war head of Interpol) and of kangaroo courts which sentenced resisters to death. You remember them, don’t you, as the Allies executed a number of Nazi judges even though they were following orders / Nazi laws? Is this the same ECJ which has nothing to do with the EU and which was championed by Winston Churchill?
This Blog posting has been covertly sponsored by the Illuminati, that mysterious elite which set up and controls the United States, controls our minds through video games and caused the World Banking Crisis to allow them to control the world through the IMF / Kim Il Jung / Rothschild’s / Israel / Obama who isn’t even American / Wal Mart etc; If you have any mad theories of your own please throw them in at this stage, the madder the better and if there is not the slightest bit of evidence to back them up, this just proves it is a really clever conspiracy.
Nowadays, with its harbour and modern marina it is a good a place to go yacht spotting as these beautiful Mediterranean waters attract ships to tour the Greek Islands and the historic Turkish coastline. Just as most editions of “Country Life” are bought by Londoner’s then most of the glossy yacht mags which proliferate in newsagents are bought by people who will never own a yacht. Is this “yacht porn?” Well they are certainly very aspirational and unobtainable for most. But they also represent the zeitgeist of design and are frequently financed by people with more money than sense but as J.P. Morgan said when asked how much his yacht Corsair cost “I you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it!”
Come’on Ruppie spice it up and get the cheap tabloid thrills going – nobody expects you as an Oxford Graduate to do it – ring your low life newshounds Rebecca and Andy for advice. No point in barking yourself when you keep several dogs?
Ülkümen’s bold personal action is credited with saving 42 families. But his bluff didn’t go unanswered. In September 1943, the German army occupied the island of Rhodes and moved to close the Turkish consulate, the last remaining Turkish consulate in Axis-controlled territory. When Turkey protested, German planes bombed the building, seriously injuring Ülkümen’s wife, Mihrinisa, who later died. His wife, nine months’ pregnant, was seriously injured and died of her wounds while giving birth to the couple’s son, Mehmet.
