Gadjo Dilo: April 2010
http://chantree.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Is a 1997 movie by Tony Gatlif about a Westerner who comes to Romania in search of a singer whose voice he loves. It's title means Stupid/Crazy Foreigner. In Romani. What happens to him next is my story. Thursday, April 29, 2010. To solve The Transylvanian Problem. Set a ball of historical reassessment. And thereby get on everybody’s tits. Maybe we can convince both sides that it simply doesn’t matter! The only way to do this is trivialisation. Nice to see you; to see you. Who works as a dictator. In uni...

Is a 1997 movie by Tony Gatlif about a Westerner who comes to Romania in search of a singer whose voice he loves. It's title means Stupid/Crazy Foreigner. In Romani. What happens to him next is my story. Saturday, January 30, 2010. They Made Me Do It! There’s a meme going round – e.g. Scarlet. 8211; which asks one "to share three classic movie moments that have, in some shape or form, made me buy things/do things/think things that perhaps I shouldn't have." This is going to sound horribly. I did end up c...

No Good Boyo: Integrae servandae
http://alfanalf.blogspot.com/2012/11/integrae-servandae.html
Y gŵr yn erbyn y byd. Monday, November 12, 2012. BBC types, like Eastenders, the panda-eyed weatherman in Groundhog Day and wrong-trousered Alpine symphonist. Anton Bruckner, wake up every day and make the same mistake, as I've noted before. They derided my advice over Brand, Ross and Sachs - who really should be a firm of Borders solicitors specialising in sheep-rustling. And spurned it over Savile. Police, Camera, Traction! Round to visit them in hospital. I'm a Celebrity, Get It Out Of Me! Viewers wit...

No Good Boyo: April 2012
http://alfanalf.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Y gŵr yn erbyn y byd. Sunday, April 29, 2012. Du côté de chez Swan. What are you staring at? Annette asked the pair of blurry-faced soaks. Across the bar. "Ewer tits, luv,". One grinned. He raised his glass and returned to the pleasures of the contemplative life. I said, "is another country, they do things differently by here.". And Swansea is where you are most likely to encounter this Epicurean approach at its most expressive:. Llanelli's cheeks are still pinched by the chapel pew. Coach down there fro...

No Good Boyo: Thinking of You
http://alfanalf.blogspot.com/2013/02/thinking-of-you.html
Y gŵr yn erbyn y byd. Tuesday, February 05, 2013. February is upon us, like a puppy fished from a frostbound pond,. So it is time for me to mark the traditional Welsh New Year. The world of broadcasting pants with gratitude, much like that aforementioned puppy, at the news that Terry Hall. Is taking over as director-general of the BBC on 2 April. So that's one PR humiliation. Missed with barely 24 hours to spare. To three interchangeable politicians and a "comic". Battle of Britain ace. Ernest "Belcher" ...

No Good Boyo: August 2012
http://alfanalf.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Y gŵr yn erbyn y byd. Sunday, August 19, 2012. Facebook, the simpleton's way to start your day, has let the mask slip of late. Big-palmed creator Mark Zuckerberg pitched it as a sort of computer smoothie. No chemicals, no plastic wrapping, no monthly book selection blocking up your letter box, no bailiffs biffing your old gran because you skipped the small print. Lacking the trip-switch betwixt brain and fingers. Brazen blogpost pluggers like me. T-shirts and get messing with some minds. Button. This...

No Good Boyo: March 2012
http://alfanalf.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Y gŵr yn erbyn y byd. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. The clock struck eleven. Yet again as Jethro Gill shouldered his way into the British Film Institute. It's now called Old Peculiar's Pelicular Panopticon, he had to remind himself. And it was only nine-thirty on a damp March morning. A trifle inclement,". As the wireless had chuckled in Banter - the new English standard. It was always eleven o'clock - opening time - since the Great Shiving. Jethro muttered as he rifled through the in-tray. Had time only to...

No Good Boyo: July 2012
http://alfanalf.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Y gŵr yn erbyn y byd. Saturday, July 28, 2012. I missed the Olympic opening celebration of Britishness, because I fell asleep reading a Max Hastings book. That's how Daily Telegraph I am. Danny Boyle did himself proud, I'm sure, but only if his show featured:. Steptoe and Son;. Couples taking their dogs for romantic weekends in Cotswold hotels;. Mrs T trailing a bottle of Bells about her bedroom, wearing slippers made of Argies and miners;. Students trying to force down a Guinness;. Ich, Eich Dyn, Dien.
