Fine line between genius and madness! ...........ahh, a genius who can't even spell 'genius'.

Excellent post, squire!

You know, you're very like Dickens when you use the quote function.

I think the point was that he (Blair) didnt even try to justify the 90 day period. I'm willing to listen to arguments that, however Draconian (and it is a huge impingement on individual civil liberties) that 90 days could be justifiable given the potential threat to society. However if I were to be persuaded I'd want to see some damn good evidence about the significance of this magical 90 day time limit and why say it was more beneficial than 89 days, 88, 87, 86, 85 etc etc. The fact was that he didnt even attempt to do this which on the very best blush is arrogant and at worst dictatorial. As you say, a victory for democracy.

Anyone spot the provable lie? Half of them Dickens' hadnt been written when he did his 11+ tbh. 54968[/snapback] I (modestly) quote another submission to that thread "I agree with you Rob. Having lived in the staes most of my life and read a fair bit of American lit like Steinbeck I think F. Scott does have more in common with DIckens and I think Oliver Twist is a good example. F.Scott wrote the Great Gatsby in the early 1920s (22?) in America which was not yet in a great depression and socio-economincally speaking was simialr to the Victorian era. It was not until the depression that you had the spate of plays and novels that depict the American Dream gone wrong (post 1929)." It's not true about Dickens - my contemporaries are Robert Graves, my lecturer & tutor Robert Reuel and CS of course......................... 54973[/snapback] I would still argue that The Great Gatsby isn't much like Oliver Twist though, in one instance you've got a novel about the excesses of the Jazz Age set amongst a backdrop of decadent parties in Long Island whereas in another you've got the harsh realities of crime and poverty shown through the eyes of the poorest of the poor in London. And as for the comparison between Jay Gatsby and Bill Sykes I mean, come on. I would also disagree regarding the similarities between Victorian London and 1920's America since any economic wealth of the Victorian age was pretty much restricted to a small, privileged minority whereas in the roaring 20's the 'man on the street' was able to buy stocks and shares allowing working class people to become upwardly mobile through their own enterprise. I'm not quite sure what having read a lot of Steinbeck would have to with novel in question either although I can certainly see more similarities between his work and that of Dickens. 55129[/snapback] Basically Alex, Rob's talking shit.

Leave Helena out of it. She's off limits. FACT!

I wouldnt even recommend looking at them blindfolded. 54963[/snapback] I'm intrigued to know if they'd pass the pencil test like! His exact words to her as they greeted me in the hallway were "Divvn't think your getting your tits out!" 54967[/snapback] Sounds like he was already too late tbh.
