Ray, are you on Mogadon or something, or have you been hijacked by somebody else and you are no longer you? No vituperation? Is this a determined effort to comply with the SI Police who perhaps have a bot following you with a "Kill" button? Or maybe they have resurrected your name and they are trying to do a Turing Test model of you. They have failed. Where is the real Ray you SI bastards?

BTW, Belgium's industrial base I described was like Singapore's, being production units of international companies. Belgians eat chocolate, bread and drink booze and hide from the awful weather [which is as bad as London's, but being downstream from London, they get London's dirty air, as well as their own air pollution].

But we loved living in Antwerp. It really was very nice. Sunshine more regularly would have been nice. Other than that, it's pretty good, if very restrictive.

But back to where the real Ray is. I couldn't help but think of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in which the crazy guy was given a pre-frontal lobotomy. Surely not.

I hereby give you permission to express your full arsenal of hostility, contempt, and vituperative insurrectionist fury at me and I guarantee I will not complain to SI about Terms of Use. At least for a few posts anyway - I could get exhausted and have to beg for mercy, so don't want to promise too much. It's a bit sad to see a neutered Tasmanian Devil wimpering around minding his ps and qs.

At least that way we'd know it really is you and not some uploaded clone without the character.

Surely you must get a bit of a rise in blood pressure when you think of my good friend King George II making the world safe for CDMA [in either CDMA2000 or 3GSM [W-CDMA/UMTS] mode] and my profits. Unearned profits!!

Now I think of Jules Feiffer's julesfeiffer.com cartoon character from the 1960s, lying on his back, unable to get aroused about various issues, which used to get him all worked up, while his friend raised various issues. I'll see if Google has a link. It was Sick, Sick, Sick or The Explainers [we also had Passionella and other stories]Sick, sick , sick, 1958
Passionella and other stories, 1960
The Explainers, 1961 (play)
