Don't kill my rage

YOU ARE ALL PEONS
(an irregular feature)

Today's peons:

The thirty people stood at the pelican crossing, not one of whom could be bothered to press the button until I turned up. Cretins.

Chandra at shytty ShoHo bar Catch for supplying a listing which included this description: "Music that moves from left to right. Not enough info for ya? Better come down and check it out!" Well, no. How's about I just don't list it instead? I have the power here, bytch. Do not fvck with me.
Also, do not supply listings with nights detailed for the "first and third" Saturday of the month, and the "second and fourth", when many months, this included, have five. We are not using the French Revolutionary Calendar here, though heaven knows the guillotine would be welcome.

The American on Mastermind last night who, searching for the name of a "British naval hero", answered "Napoleon". Words fail me.

One day, one glorious, glorious day, the heads of your kind will be placed on pikes adorning London Bridge. And does anyone else think the new GLA building would look great with a few gibbets on it?

Saturday's plan

ERNEST DOWSON - A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

SATURDAY 2ND AUGUST 2003

at 2pm in Burlington Gardens, outside the old Museum of Mankind (now the Ethnography Department of the British Museum).

Seek out the young man with spectacles carrying a volume of Ernest Dowson's poems and join him on a walk around the West End of the 1890s, visiting places frequented by the poet and decadent, the quintessential doomed figure of the "Tragic Generation". The walk will last approximately three hours and will take us through Victorian Soho and along The Strand, ending for refreshment at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, Fleet Street, home of the Rhymers' Club.

All are welcome and are invited to bring a short poem, letter or prose vignette of Dowson's to read out in a spirit of celebration.

Wine and woman and song,
Three things garnish our way:
Yet is day over long.
-Ernest Dowson

[Poll #162106]

Edit: I'm sure the reading out bit isn't obligatory. And his best known poem is Cynara ("I have been faithful to thee, after my fashion") which Morrissey ripped off for Speedway.
