Welcome to the Blog of the Kindly Cuppa
40 Cups of Tea With 40 Friends
is my goal in life.
And it must be done before 10th July.
Click here to find out why.
If you would like to be my friend and earn a QCT (Qualifying Cup of Tea) then let me know.
No. of QCTs to date: 13
The Roundfaced boy is cutting teeth just now. As a result I am writing this from the laptop at some godforsaken hour that should only be seen by ruddy farmers and young revellers returning from all night raves. It is not yet 7am and already I have listened to an entertaining radio programme about the price of organic beef; built a small tower of cardboard blocks; and caught up on the latest news about the elections for the London mayor.
It is peculiar to see Boris Johnston being elected as London mayor. As far as I can tell, his only qualification for handling a 10 billion pound annual budget is an entertaining performance on “Have I Got News For You.” But of course, celebrity of any type means that you are automatically better at everything doesn’t it?
Madonna’s views on religion are clearly much more valuable than those of the Archbishop of Canterbury, because she has sold more albums than him. Sean Connery’s magnificent grasp of the Spanish accent in “Highlander” means that his views on Scottish nationalism are so much more valuable than university professors. Geri Halliwell is a highly respected UN ambassador, and as far as I can tell she doesn’t do anything at all.
Anyway, I have to go now. I am off to read Dick and Dom in da Bungalow’s new paper on the economic interrelationship between biofuel prices and starvation in the developing world.
