... THOUGHTS ...
I don't know about you but I personally doubt that Solomon was a wise man. It is claimed that he had over 600 assorted wives, concubines, ndogo ndogos and mistresses. ALL OF WHOM WANTED TO HAVE THE LAST WORD!

... THINKER'S CALENDAR ...
November 23: Corporate dinner! The good thing with the end of the year is that one gets invited to all sorts of get-togethers, parties and such. Which I don't mind at all! Roast beef and potatoes shall be dispensed with ruthlessly and finally I get a chance to show off that I know what a fish knife is!
November 24: Visit to Children's home in Hurlingham. If it is anything like the last, I shall get my hair pulled, my shins kicked, my shirt tugged and my back thrown up on. However I shall get to go down on hands and knees and be ridden like a horse, I shall shamelessly play house and soccer with the kids and have myself a merry old time. It shall be fun!
November 29:
Eve of the eve of my Birthday!
November 30: Eve of my birthday. You'd better have my presents ready and gift wrapped!

... Whew! ...

GOT DA BLUES

What a week!!
To say that I've had an excellent week would be lying through my teeth. It has been anything but. I am tired, I have been rained on twice, a passing bird deposited its lunch, thoughtfully predigested upon my bare head and this was discovered only 4 hours later. In addition for some reason for the past few days whenever I have opened my mouth I have repeatedly and regularly put my feet (both) in the same mouth. (Am sorry!!!)A line like "suppose you were beautiful..." will not get you anywhere my friends, and no amount of explanation will extricate you from the muck you're in up to your eyeballs! On top of that yesterday the vehicle that usually conveys me in style from A to B decided that it was going to perform some gear retrenchment and only opted to keep gear R. Despite pleading and threats Peggy the trusty Peugeot refuses to engage any gear other than 'R'. This can be a problem where the convention is to drive the car in the forward direction. And to crown things off a friend of mine met her untimely demise in a road accident. I wouldn't say we were close but we were friends anyway.
However, next week will be an entirely new prospect altogether!
... FEEDBACK ...

My announcements

Quite shamelessly

Even when I have a million and one things to do (including watching the paint on my gate dry) I have the right to be lazy and refuse to send out several e-mails when just one will do. I believe firmly in shooting two birds with one bullet (No KSPCA cracks please!)
Gathoni: My farm or yours? I am also a great cook and I jog and cycle when I get the time. Lord Byron & Keats are the poets of choice.
Sam: There is absolutely no point in my signing my own guestbook. None whatsoever. Every entry there is perfectly legit, including the first one!
Miamama: If you hook me up with a way to contact you, no doubt something can be arranged
Wanja: You hang in there! The only things that can get you down are those you allow!
x8: Am around my man, am around!
Omosh: You give a human face to the concept of stupidity!
Laura: I give up. You know where you can find me
Jeremy: If you've been first jumper for RVA rugby team holla at me bana!
Sweet Lady: Yes, yes, I am swine and the scourge of the earth! Being busy is no excuse and I reply ASAP!
Dudette: That mail just cracked me up!

... POLI-TRICKS !! ...

As those who are near and dear to The Thinker can tell you, he is not a keen follower of politicians or politics. He'd rather have hot nails driven under his nails and boiling oil poured down the back of his shirt than dabble with those individuals. He'd rather attempt to mow 10,000 acres of grass with nail clippers than listen to a politician. He'd rather paint a passenger liner with nothing but his tongue than willingly shake the hand of a politician. He'd sooner believe in fairies and goblins than any phrase that issues from the lips of a politician. As a matter of fact he flatly refuses to call the honourable as he sees nothing honourable about them. As a matter of fact he finds that 'horrible' is the more fitting of adjectives!
However it is with some amusement that he partook the news that there had been a minor reshuffle in the cabinet. He was not in the least surprised to find that Uhuru Kenyatta and Cyrus Jirongo are fully fledged cabinet ministers. He would not he surprised tomorrow if it were announced that Kenneth Matiba (Who's movements thanks to his stay as a guest of the Government) suggest to the Thinker that he would be a wizard with the turntables were made the Minister of Energy (Because that he clearly has.
However the Thinker has devised (entirely on his own) a model cabinet and populated them with appropriate officers.

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT: Yule Yule
MINISTRY OF ENERGY: Ken Matiba (This gent has more energy than Kenya Power and Lightning)
MINISTRY OF EDUCATION: Sherrif Nasseer "In my constituency people do not die from hunger -- only from death"
MINISTRY OF DEFENCE: Hwangaree Mythigh & Freddy Ghummo-- between the two of them they can beat the crap out of anyone.
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS: Joe Comeortho & Sherrif Nasseer: Between the two of them they can lick the boots, stockings and corns of all and sundry. And to break the fashion of 2 ministers for 1 ministry, we shall begin one of 1 minister for 2 ministries
MINISTRY OF CULTURE: Dave Mwenjay: If he has any he sure keeps it well hidden!
MINISTRY OF TECHNOLOGY: The current Mayor of Mombasa. The fact that he was sitting for his (secondary?) exams the other day shows that he has drive and commitment and his smile just goes to prove that Ignorance is bliss
MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS: Prince Jully SoonCoolie. His acquaintance with the red carpet suggests that he could also fit in in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE: Raylor O. Dinga. That hat this chap wears can only belong to a prosperous farmer.

NEW MINISTRIES
Ministry of Water
Ministry of H2O
Ministry of that stuff we drink and bathe and wash stuff with
Ministry of Soccer
Ministry of Kandanda
Ministry of Football
Ministry of Shake, Kati & Bano
Ministry of MPs (To cater for those greedyguts)
Ministry Purporting to be for Social Services
Ministry for creation of new Ministries

I would like to thank Me for all the support I have given myself. I am one of a kind and I admire the time I have taken to do this when I could be doing other more interesting things like shelling peas.
Let us not forget Myself for the valuable contribution as well , of course, as I who is indispensable to this project!
There will also be some people who will want to be thanked effusively despite the fact that they have contributed nothing whatsoever. But I will thank them anyway when I can remember their names and when they are actually looking over my shoulder and I have no choice but to thank them for nothing!
