UK, GB, England, London, City of London ...

Dear Reader,

Whenever our patron Glynsky runs out of arguments, he likes to retreat to:

"Oh, you just don't understand ...."
(insert UK, Great Britain, England, the English, the Welsh, Italy, him, etc.)

The most recent case of prissy Glynsky can be found here.
I leave it to our resident shrink, to find out whether this flaw is rooted in Glynsky being English, Welsh, Italian, or just not man enough.

An American, living in London, must have encountered the same. And made a brilliant video:



Will Glynsky find something to nag about in this video?

The producer/director/artist, C. G. P. Grey, is all over the place.
You can read his website, his tweets, etc..



He has produced plenty of videos, including two about the City of London, also mentioning the livery companies, which Glynsky wrote about here and here.

The (Secret) City of London, Part 1: History

The (Secret) City of London, Part 2: Government 

Another great video is about copyright.

No, Glynsky, it isn't "fair and balanced",
it has a clear message.



Stay tuned,
Engine Room

OMG! I think we need a fun and "light" post by Pete soon...
And I am stepping in as the watchdog right now and telling you, ER, to be nice to my dear Glynsky!!!

Pete said...

You are right about the gloom in recent posts but Iren you cannot on expect me to lighten it at the drop of a Glynsky.
These two enjoy the hatred and bantering for some reason.
I think they should probably marry, as their relationship sounds like many other couples I know.

Iren said...

I expect you to write something fun... NOW!!! I could need a laugh :)
Please, please, please.... It`s cold, dark and fuckin lonely here right now, I need some Pete fun :)

Maybe they find it fun, but this many posts about the same topic is getting a bit old... (In my opinion)

Smiles said...

Quite right, Iren. just woke up after my Saturday afternoon nap, expecting to be entertained and amused by the Diablog. Turning over and going back to sleep.
Minus 18 in Vilnius.

Glynsky said...

Iren, and sometimes Pete, I am right with you.
Referring to Pete's earlier 'if we (that is I and the Druid) sort ER who will run this shambles', I recommend we swithch to Mr. Pastry.
You should find him if you look on line - I have not bothered, yet!
Thanx for the support - and I am very flattered and feeling all Mr. Micawber.

Iren said...

You are so very welcome Glynsky :)
Smiles: Wakee, wakeeee... Carpe Diem!( OMG, you have a colder day than me..., we only have -6)
I am still waiting for that post, PETEEEE!!! Write something funny... I want a Pete post today!

Smiles said...

Mr. Micawber emigrated to Australia. Are you off, then?
Dont raise too many people's hopes.

Smiles said...

Dear Iren. Now fully awake and drinking fine Kenyan Tea with milk. Was woken up by son, asking me to change Euro and Pounds into local currency, so he can go out and get drunk. As he is family, I waived the commission.

Iren said...

Oh no... Are you one of those who destroyes fine tea with milk? You gotta be kidding me.... And I had such high hopes for you..
Getting drunk? Sounds like a good idea to me! I am happy you are out of bed and enjoying your day, cause its a nice day...I have worked out, taken a shower, put my make up on and....Yeah, actually, that`s all I have done today, hahaha...

Smiles said...

Dear Iren.
You do not know but I work for the Company, which is the largest manufacturer of Tea Bagging Machines in the world. Approx 75% of the Tea Bags in the world are produced on our machines. The Kenyan Black tea bags which I bought in the UK are supposed to be drunk with milk (cold).
I was up at 07.00 Hours, let out the dog, had a light breakfast, walked to fitness centre, had a one hour work out with my Personal trainer, walked home, showered and shaved, went shopping with partner, excellent lunch out and then 2 hours on orange sofa. Now planning holidays including long weekend in Bergen.

Iren said...

Hmmm....But tea tastes so much better without milk and sugar and God knows what people put in it. I have not tasted this tea so I will not comment on the taste and how you should drink it!
And I work for a coffe company, best coffe in the world :)
Sounds like a good day you have had so far and much more productive than mine. I will soon make dinner, elk with vegetables :)
Bergen is a nice place, I have been there for dog shows and on vacation. Hope you will enjoy your trip to Norway!

Smiles said...

Dear Iren. Very interesting. We also manufacture coffee pad/pod machines. Best coffee in the world, so you dont work for Starbucks. S&H in Norway make great coffee.
Enjoy your elk. Did you run it over?

Engine Room said...

Dear Smiles,

You might want to rename your "tea bagging" stuff. At least online.

ER

Iren said...

Dear Smiles: The coffe I sell is machines with pods too, from Rombouts and Malongo. I did not run over the Elk, I don`t do car accidents :)
ER: I still hate the verifications...

Dear Iren,

As you asked so nicely, Verification is switched off.

As soon as we collect 5+ SPAM comments per day, it comes back on.
Unless someone pays me properly to filter that manually.

Iren said...

Thank you ER!!!
Now, lets see how long it is off...

Engine Room said...

Dear Iren,

2nd spam comment in already.

ER

Engine Room said...

OK, Iren,

After switching off the captchas, we did not receive five spam comments per day, but 2-5 per hour.
Thus, they are back on.

If you want, we can invite you to login via your Google account, then no captchas are needed.
