Obscenity.....

..Obscenity comes in many forms, the one which everybody knows and says they never look at, but also in other walks of life it is present. More and more obscene are "normal life" headlines like.... ...The "great" game....! ************** QUOTE: "Manchester City may have failed with their £108 million bid for AC Milan star Kaka but it seems only a matter of time before the billionaire club do eventually smash the world record for a transfer fee . Earlier this season the Abu-Dhabi United Group marked their takeover of City with the £32.5 million purchase of Robinho from Real Madrid - the first piece of what they declared would become a bona fida fantasy football team - and the ill-fated Kaka deal this January is a statement by the owners that money is no object." http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=611489&sec=england&root=england&lpos=spotlight&lid=tab1pos1&&cc=5739 ********** Well - I know what "kak

Le jour que une de ces lettres me donne les chiffres correct et gagnante du Loto, je la renvoie a tous le monde - peut être.....!   *************   I received this “chain” letter, in spite of my request not to receive them. The only people they make happy are the people who profit from the e-mail address lists which they can make and sell...! The day that one of these letters tells me the winning loto numbers, I’ll consider passing it on - maybe....       iwmpop (mr le marquis)         -     Vauvert, France        -     Janvier 2011                      le début est bon mais la fin laisse à désirer !

part 3 of prisoner part 3 of prisoner     Edited and republished 2011 (Final).     Monday, November 28, 2005 Prisoner number........ Part III of IV Never having been inside a real prison (some vicious tongues would say through pure luck), I have no idea of the general routine there. Not that “Spandau Gefangnis” wasn’t a real prison. It was, and had been built for some hundreds of prisoners, before finally becoming the turning place for higher ranked Nazi war criminal prisoners. Although they were not only in their hundreds, but millions, only those caught, tried and sentenced to jail terms, found their way here, the others carried on their lives, or were hung - or committed suicide.

There never were a lot of them, and after the Nuremberg Process - even less, so the prison premises were greatly underused, and by the time I arrived there with the “Squadron B of The Royal Dragoons” in 1966, there was only one solita

part 2 prisoner part 2 prisoner   January 2011 more a history of how we were ALL prisoners of one kind or another in East and West Berlin.... Revised and edited by mr le marquis.   Prisoner number....Part II To understand, a little, the situation in 1966 in West and East Germany, one has to recall that things in the West (Berlin and Germany) are forging ahead. Billions, Trillions, and if they exist, Dillions are being pumped into the economy. This is the out-most post of “freedom” or “capitalism” – the place where it bangs head-on into “communism” or “socialism”. As such, both powers have to publicize the advantages, not only of the one, but also the other - in other words - of their own system. It’s called propaganda! Since the Eastern zones and Block, simply didn’t have the money, they concentrated their efforts on Berlin, as the Capital city of the DDR (Deutsches Demokratisches Republik), whereas the Western powers were able to show off everywhere! Berlin, east and west, was the
