News To Me
We’re nearing the end of the dead period on American television, that six to eight week hiatus that all the shows seem to take as soon as winter sets in. Nothing on but repeats. With our cable company giving us the On Demand feature, we’ve been able to avoid most of this, and have been watching old episodes of shows we don’t ordinarily watch. We’ve also been exploring several of the few hundred channels we never look at, just to find something new or at least interesting to watch. New episodes are starting up this week and next, so we’re saved for the next couple of months.
I watched one of the BBC documentary shows last night, a new one called The Queen’s Palaces. The episode was on Buckingham Palace. Fantastic. Mind blowing. My God, such wealth spent so lavishly. Stunning. But I’m not jealous, or envious, or resentful. The Crown had the money, and that’s how they spent it, and it was all a long time ago, so so what? [ although I am more than a little piqued about an ad they kept running for the Bill Moyers show (who??)that flashed dozens of famous faces across the screen with a series of vocal sound bites, and one of them goes “The opposite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is justice.” which is an infuriating bit of undiluted Marxism in my opinion. ]
But it was late in the evening, and being a guy I couldn’t help but be continually distracted by the presenter for the show, one Fiona Bruce, as she legged it around the palace, up and down the grand staircases, in and out of one sumptuously detailed enormous room after another. Damnation. Horry Clap what a pair of legs that woman has. And that’s in her old sensible heels, flats, and jodhpurs ( they stuck her on a horsey for one scene, but I don’t think she rides regularly ). It’s not like she was trying, wearing the same old blue dress she’s had for ages, and that makes it all so much more appreciable.
A tiny bit of net research this morning shows me that this is not news to any of you Brits, as you’ve had her as a news show person and TV presenter for years and years, that she is very well paid by the BBC, and that controversy sticks to her like glue over jealous charges that she’s just too darn sexy for the job. As if. Or too dim-witted or common. At least she has some appearance of class, and isn’t some mostly naked bit of pantie-less dumpster slut falling out of her clothes at every opportunity. She isn’t even all that pretty, though she is rather striking and quite easy to listen to. Personally, I think she’s in damn fine shape for a woman half her age and I hope BBC One continues to keep her walking about on camera and presenting everything. Better than that Cat Deeley stretched out bit of vacuous fluff.
That first pic showed a nice camel-toe…

Buch house is nice but google for the pics of Magabes palace in Rhodesia, with over half the country starving to death.

I’d “do” her, for sure. I loves them long legs.
But then I’d “do” a snake if you held it by the ears.

She’s nice, but like most BBC employees a bed wetting liberal.
