How about Constant Sorrow, and having trouble all your days? Wouldn't be no blues if you said "I am a man of being sad a lot of the time, but on the other hand I'm looking forward to the Picabia opening"
True enough, but don't you see this is exactly how the Blues is holding Britain back? If we get rid of the outdated concept of Constant Sorrow and embrace flexible working, we can have three people being sorrowful for eight hours a day each, creating two new jobs. Similarly, how about having trouble for just three days a week, enabling a jobshare arrangement?
I think your emphasis is wrong. Far from focussing on sorrow, we should have a "cheerfulness culture" in which we ask what people can do to buck themselves up. Rights, responsibilities, appease the shareholders etc. Pip pip. A Minister, Yesterday
What three otherwise sensible people have said about Webside Gleanings
It is a treasurehouse of the bizarre and the offbeat, and it could quite easily eat up 30-60 minutes of your day every day unless you approach it with caution. So - be cautious, be self-disciplined, but do go and have a look. It's a gem.
A charming compendium of the amusing, irritating and obscene, often in the same link. Its cross-eyed editor is an unsung genius who provides a happy meeting place on the net for the disillusioned, the slightly sociopathic, and people with a laptop who have a long time to wait for their train. A familiarity with the more arcane reaches of Church history may help the reader with the less obvious jokes.
It's like wandering into an emporium with lots of choice trinkets and ornaments that you never knew existed and would look just lovely on the mantelpiece.
Not only is it difficult to know the truth about anything, but to tell the truth when one knows it, to find words that will not obscure or pervert it, is in my experience an exhausting effort.
