Dear moderator, this will be my last politcal post - promise!

 

Trump's popularity is due to one thing, to a very powerful idea. It has nothing to do with him as a man. Everyone has always known he's a cad. I mean really, no one that is a regular on the Howard Stern show can be a paragon if virtue.

 

No, his rise to candidate for president is based solely on his conviction that the primary focus of government should be what's best for the average Joe and Jane, and their family. You know, the family that works hard, pulling in $50,000 a year, doing their best to raise good kids. They are the bedrock of the country. The focus SHOULD be on them. Not the elite rich, not the intelligentsia, not transgender restrooms, not on genuflecting to other nations, and etc.

 

All his ideas and plans flow from this concept. And that is why he will win, despite his train-load of baggage.

Hum my old chum - your Millionaires Club TV epic screens on free to air TV down under this week - your fame will indeed spread far and wide

 

The show is screening on Tuesday, October 11 at 9:40pm on Channel 9 and 9HD in Sydney - not exactly prime time but I'm sure it will rate well nonetheless

 

Thanks for this Bodogbodog. And we will be popping the champagne cork(s) tonight in suburban Melbourne to watch another episode of the Millionaires Club, or could it be the same episode, who cares. I like the cast!

 

Cheers, Millie

[ho-hum]

Aw schucks !

 

The series has to yet make the former colony across the Atlantic (no, not you, the one above you) but judging by what H knows of that country they are about 10 years behind everybody else.........and as for the peoples of the frozen tundra and wilderness !

Well let's just say, the "wheel" is starting to become popular amongst the young crowd.

"Kids ehhh.....they think they know everything, ha" !

 

PS Get hold of a sick bag prior to the tv show and have it discretely nearby for H's cameos: what a dope !

 

Love

HH&Bxx

Champers is on ice and hors d'oeuvres will be served at our mansion in keeping with the magnitude of the event

[ho-hum]

Seems that Aussie TV is worse than ours !!!

Is that the best that's on tonight ?

Ye Gods !

What about re-runs of "Neighbours" ..... much better (loved Mrs.Mangels).

 

A word of warning Bodogbodog; there is some Pommie "whingeing" (is that the correct spelling ?) by yours truly.

Hum will be honest with you.

We had this ruddy caera crew around us for ages.

The clip you see of us talking to camera was filmed when they aske=d do a few interviews with us after the time on SD.

OK come on over. thinking it would be no more than 3 hours !

It took 12 !!!!!

And our living area was completely trashed !!!

We served them food and yes by the time it ran into the sixth hour, Hum opened a bottle.

Hum was feeling a tad annoyed about how long this was taking and reacting more and more.....let's just say, less calmly to the ascending scale of stupid questions.

So Hum whinged.

Apologies.

But it was a great strain.

Luckily Hum didn't have "Man Cold".

 

Oh well enjoy yourselves old chum.

But it's probably the last time Hum hears from you.

Well it's been fun.

No, you have Hums assurance Hum will not try to contact you.

Hum walks backwards out of post..... bowing, hubly....oh so humbly.

[Bodogbodog]

3 minutes til the curtain raises on the epic - drum roll please

 

Confession old chum - I've already watched it on YouTube a few months back -but hey I am a glutton for punishment and stand ready to oh and ah at the immense wealth and dignity of these rich poms

 

The whinging is a given when Englishmen are involved - can't be avoided as it's in the genes

 

[Note to readers - this is in jest and not something that man Trump would say]

The tape of "From the cutting floor...all the bleeps and profanities from twelve hours holed up in Hum Towers" may come back to haunt Mr H when he runs for the position of head bummer at the Post Part's Parish Council election.

If anyone is perplexed with meaning..."head bummer" as in head honcho, the big cheese...

You don't think Hum's already thought of that !!!!

 

Ye Gods, if all that stuff got out !

 

Hum would do a Trump; Hum's been compiling quite an indiscriminating dossier of actual footage of Colonel Carruthers (Chairman of Posh Part Parish Council) and Lady Snodgrass (Secretary of same) in the greenhouse of Posh Hall after the Parish Council dinner dance.

[ho-hum]

Methinks Blondie deserves a medal......Or at least a shopping excursion unfettered by Mr. Man Cold.:eek:

 

Hum has brought the subject of his health to here.

What poor readers must think when they innocently "dip in" to read news about the "Crossing" and all they read is about H's cold ?

 

Good news.

The cold is receding, meaning H can go to the SD Event this evening, attended by the great and the good from Oslo.

 

The complete lack of sympathy for Hum is duly noted Jim.

Hum often inquired about ALL your medical conditions.

Just sayin'.

Injury doubled by suggesting Blondie goes shopping.

Do you realise what the Pound buys these days ?

At this rate, H may have to drink English wine !!

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

"Do you realise what the Pound buys these days ?"

 

Cuz's fish sandwiches are still quite affordable in sterling, especially if you skip his special cheese.

[MACT]

Glad to hear your fighting fit to face the endeavours of the evening. Do hope SD's great and good have not relied upon a yacht to travel to the Big Smoke for this evening's shenanigans!!!

[ho-hum]

Cruel, cruel MACT.

Naughty step please for 5 whole minutes !

 

Hum is all FIRED UP for c'est soir.

Will probably spit (the wine) though.......still feeling as weak as a little kitten.

Blondie will just have to grab Hum by the neck and drag Hum along.

[commander courageous]

 

 

Leave it to Old Hum and his agent Max Wannabee to keep those residual checks

flowing.

 

Probably enough for a couple of hors d'oeuvres and a spritzer at the SD wingding.

Has the autograph table been set up yet?

 

Poor Blondie to again be subject to the madding crowds just when we thought we

had seen the last of the re-runs. Pity the poor Aussies! :rolleyes:

Can't wait for Wikileaks to turn it's attention from Hillary to ho-hum! Will make previous Wikileaks bombshells look like damp firecrackers. I suspect the rich and powerful (and the royals!) in the UK, and beyond, are already hiring PR firms to do damage control if the contents of ho-hum's email accounts get out :eek:

 

Seeing what ho-hum is willing to say in a public forum, it is quite beyond imagination what might be discussed in presumed privacy...

 

The world is holding it's collective breath.

How's this for a wild rumor: Windstar is in negotiations to buy one or both of SeaDream's ships? :eek:

Oh no! The end of vacations as we know them. Just how wild is this rumor?

[ho-hum]

Every now and then Jim makes a rogue batch of "hooch": it takes it's toll.

 

Well that's what H's hoping.

That's quite a bombshell from Jim.

H's worried, really worried.

 

Never saw that comin'.

What the fuddleduck is the world coming too ?

[Ragnar Danneskjold]

Maybe WS needs spare parts for the triplets? Especially generators...

[Bodogbodog]

We're standing by over at Crystal to take on survivors - life jackets and life boats are being readied

 

Lovely folk and frivolity await if your current hosts abandon ship

 

Although to be honest we don't really have any equivalent vessels for you right now - but I'm sure our Queen has announced they are building them - there's been so many pre-announcements there simply must have been.

 

Maybe the Endeavor (so hate that spelling they're using) will fit the bill if it ever arrives?

Appreciate the offer, Bodogbodog, but please remember that we don't go anywhere without our crews. I would buy a rowboat and hire as many of the SD crew as will fit onboard.

Well I did say "wild" rumo(u)r. And I will have you know, my last batch of "hooch" won a prize: Best in the Neighborhood!

[ho-hum]

So Bob Dylan has won the Nobel Prize for Literature !

 

How amazing is that.

Fully, fully deserved.

So delighted.......Hum had to open a bottle !

 

Hum talked about having faith in the common man in America.

Dylan walked in the footsteps of Arlo Guthrie, he of "This land is your land, this land is my land....".

He would be considered a Communist.

 

John Steinbeck too, another great artist who loved his fellow man and wrote about it so potently. Hemingway, Rothko, Kerouac, Pollock etc.....there are so many great American artists (quite a few second generation immigrants too).

 

But what has become of America ?

Are there still good people ?

Yes of course.

 

It's life affirming that the world has acknowledged this legend.

Kind, kind offer dear chum.

The big Crystal ships sound wonderful and reports about them have always been favourable.

Right, like you needed an excuse???

 

 

 

But what has become of America ?

Yes of course.

 

But none of them are in politics for sure.
