Final Conflict: Just an Old Fashioned Dad

Just an Old Fashioned Dad

Sorry everyone, one of my wee bairns (aka Candidate Cadres) has put me right (and not for the first time). Apparently shell suits are not the plate de jour these days in the circles that enjoy long-term Layaboutitis and severe Giromania.

Apparently it's track-suits these days: the difference may appear subtle to some, but I'm sure it does matter... to someone, and as regards my journalistic integrity (and isn't that an oxymoron!) I feel honour-bound to correct such a blatant and flagrant break of Blog etiquette.

Still, to many out there in Blogland, the irony of dole bums whose idea of a workout is smoking two spliffs in a row wearing any sporting apparel will not be lost.

Quote of the Week

“Unless people start life with a culture of their own, exposure to other cultures will seldom enhance their moral or even aesthetic awareness. Without home culture, as it used to be called – a background of firmly held standards and beliefs – people will encounter the “other” merely as consumers of impressions and sensations, as cultural shoppers in pursuit of the latest novelties. It is important for people to measure their own values against others and to run the risk of changing their minds; but exposure to others will do them very little good if they have no minds to risk. New perspectives presuppose a pre-existing point of view.”
