M & H-as-I-call-him 16

[yolofish]

Well here we are, another thread for those who wish to discuss. We are not nasty, but we do call account on what is going on, and and what taxpayers pay for.

It was the suggested title I find distasteful - it is in the news at the moment because it was used as a tribute from fellow Monty Python stars to Terry Jones at his funeral .

paid work.

Wife touts husband around for paid gigs to talk about his grief. I don't call that work.

Careful worfs you don't know where I've been .Plus you don't want me to be immortal do you ?

you don't want me to be immortal do you

Oh snap

as if there was ever any chance any work they do would have been approved of on this thread!

"It was the suggested title I find distasteful - it is in the news at the moment because it was used as a tribute from fellow Monty Python stars to Terry Jones at his funeral ."

If anyone would laugh at it, it would be Monty Python.

I’m still haunted by the thought of Eternal peridito, commenting and raining on parades, forever.

Yes and there's this aspect to consider - the attack results in the attacked one rising up ......

Oh gosh.

That is way too convoluted a comparison for me.
The obvious association was the mention of "Candle in the Wind" and then the talk of funeral tributes.

It didn't occur to me to think of Terry Jones. I don't think he and his family and friends would be that determined to seek offence.

Does that mean we shouldn't suggest that Haich tries to "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" when he's down?

Ah. Maybe not then.

Sadly, I don't think we'd be allowed "He's not the etc" as a title by MNHQ.

LaM - yes I expect you're right ,Terry Jones' rels probably not glued to MN .

Just my view ,I know I don't always see things the way others do !

Dont think it was that convoluted ,depends if you were reading thread at the time ,the title suggestion and my view were several posts before the CITW .AFAIR .

I suppose I'm more sensitive about Terry Jones because of sightings of him being accompanied in his later years for walks on Hampstead Heath by Palin . Sad .

How about “Don’t drop your Aitches” for the new thread title?

So, two people who'd said they were going to start doing paid work, do some paid work.

And the vultures descend.

The thing is, vultures only descend on a corpse.

The corpse here, imo, is the pretence that H&M are not going to be rent-a-celebs. That's surely died a death.

They want to be philanthropists? Most proper philanthropists have earned money doing something they're good at (eg JK Rowling; Bill & Melinda Gates) and give money - as well as their famous names - to the cause.

H&M have nothing but their famous names (and I would suggest that MM's name only became famous on her marriage) to offer.

But they still now have to earn money for themselves. How much that is depends on the lifestyle they want.

They could still live a really lovely life on the money they already have (plus the top-ups from prince Charles) and loan their names to charity for free.

Initially, the security payments could be difficult but, if they just carried on quietly supporting causes, the public interest would plummet as would the security costs.

Ultimately, they have nothing to offer apart from a connection with the RF.

I think the venality of h and m is disgusting... it was always about the money.

It turns my stomach, and I’m a battle hardened vulture at this point.

They are absolutely repellent.

I suppose I'm not allowed to ask what you're basing this statement on ?

Dont think it was that convoluted ,depends if you were reading thread at the time ,

I must admit that I wasn't.
I need my beauty sleep (ahem ) you know.

the title suggestion and my view were several posts before the CITW .AFAIR .

I think you recall incorrectly. The thread title popped up well before the CITW ref.

I appreciate that your sensitivity about the death of Terry Jones may have skewed how you read things.

Sorry!
Missed out Perdito from my previous post.

Can't you just be a philanthropist ?
Do you have to be a proper philanthropist with the proper being defined as doing something you're good at first ?

And your view was after the CITW ref, Perdito.

Sorry - this is coming in dribs and drabs

Either MN or my phone is slow today.

LaM The thread title popped up well before the CITW ref isn't that what I said ?.

ie
the title suggestion and my view were several posts before the CITW

or am I going ( more ) bonkers ?

Definition of a philanthropist. Someone who donates money to worthy causes. They aren't donating, they are profiting.

Maybe they are donating the fee from their appearance at JPM? I hope so

How do you know that H&M are not making any donations and that they are making a profit ? What are they making a profit from ?
