This will hurt me...

Quality is not an act, it is a habit.

One day there will be so many bubbles that the children will disappear completely!

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.

Ezra does his best Esther Williams, while Henry lurks in the background like the Jaws in Jaws IV. Thankfully, he didn’t explode for an unknown (and unknowable) reason at all at the conclusion of the ablution – coincidently the first single of my next album – like the shark did in that quite memorable movie…

The common people will let it go. Oh yes, they’ll sell liberty for a quieter life. That is why they must be led, sir, driven, pushed!

I am sure that there are some countries where such a photo can score you twenty years hard labour , so I will relish posting this photo of a younger Henry relaxing in the tub.

When grown people speak of the innocence of children, they don't really know what they mean.

Here, Ezra displays his fine impersonation of a fire and brimstone Southern Baptist minister. Christ came to me last night... [HALLELUJAH!] ... and He said unto me... [HALLELUJAH BROTHER!] ... He said unto me... He said that NOW was the time... [HALLELUJAH!] ... NOW was the time brothers and sisters for more programs featuring baby animals on the television... [AMEN BROTHER!]

A father, said Stephen, battling against hopelessness, is a necessary evil.

I am the champions, YOU are the losers..."

When you're finished changing, you're finished.

Here is Ez spinning some discs just a couple of days ago. At the moment, he's a bit Lee "Scratch" Perry in terms of mood, and I'm hoping that he doesn't descend into Phil "Loony Tunes" Spector. At this point, I'd take Cliff Richard...

It is all very well to be cautious, but if we are too cautious we will miss our opportunity.

I am not sure whether it is just too much Le Carré action lately or not enough sleep, but this dude here strikes me as a Tasmanian version of George Smiley . Whether or not he is running agents - or conducting interference on oppositional agents - I cannot be certain. One thing I can be certain is that this fellow would not be driven to evacuate a bus upon the appearance of a solitary (however odious) peanut . Like the smiley face stamps on kiddies intended to stop evil paedophiles from getting their rocks off, rules about taking photographs in public spaces (stop with the paedophilia already), we have indeed entered a bizarre, unpleasant era of hyper-irrationality. Won’t somebody think of the children!?!?
