reasons to live in a Catalan cave

 #102,  of millions...

( skipping the first 100 that are Stephen Fry)

I know Norway.

I ploughed through all 3000 dull pages of absurd naval gazing, childman Knaussgard's My  [ not actually any actual ]Struggle

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Struggle_(Knausg%C3%A5rd_novels)


Norway ( loadsa a

maudlin alcoholics) was never known for anything very lively or modern....  or in fact particularly philosophical. Or grown up.... 

As Knaussgard beautifully displays... publishers ( mainly women these days) using him as nice safe  display...of their  wanking  material....


Accidentally stumbling across a few years ago: ...i never watch childman Di Caprio but Meryl good for a bit of ... the d i y.... 

Dont Look Up....

When the Gweek mermamman  main  'goodie' character,  who uses  children to promote himself as a moneygrabbing cult and ultra merm, meets his ending...its piss in the pants

  " fuck me there is hope... theYanks can do  brilliant satire once more.."  funny



when Norway...only 20 minutes in and i know already.... can do gentle, wry... and hence even more effective,  satire, with no confected fuckin self pity, or confected vulnerability....


complusory in a british ' culture' for some years.... a film about someone with xxx wrong with them.. patronising, and confectionaryating each and every  perceived thing ' wrong' with someone.....

 fill in the xs...  with your chosen Fakebook 'activist' site pays to appear on the BBC / episode of Womans Hour.... 

.

When Norway can make a grown up piss pants hard edged satire.....


...no need to blackmale the BAFTA or cannes,  jury  all Brits can do to even get half a gong....


( vumoo dot to,  years on, the feds get it at last :-(  )

When uk stopped Be ing able to even laugh at itself an itzywitzy bit, as even Norway can in a new alive way.... as the culture made clear  is the case in UK years ago....


Of course all mums with a brain and open soul as  current mums at least speak truth sometimes, ....  report to me  

" mental health / utter apocolypse in our society.. terminal"..  


no hope...our culture went down the toilet with all the bulimic by product  of a society doesnt even manage good toilet humour any more


just  wet wipes and loadsa chemicals down the hole... " not my problem.... the seals die of ...[us]"
