‘No matter how much we scorn it, kitsch is an integral part of the human condition.’I love the smell of two-stroke
I TURNED UP in pleatly-ironed uniform to Vinopolis this AM to be swiftly sent far away because I wasn't affixed on the rota. The cheek of it! -I did however ensure the owner's daughter knew about my steadfast urgency to contribute to Wineworld PLC, even on my day off...A glass of squid-inky Argentine Malbec served to quell at the National Film Theatre patio regardless of the molestation of the angle-grinder in nearby operation. Ah, I love the smell of two-stroke in the morning.
I am currently appreciating an artisinal apéritif with a Myrtle and blueberry flavour, louchely tipped over ice cubes. A graffiti art scene from Antonioni's 'Blow Up' occurs frictitiously in the background.

Tomorrow I present a presentation on "why Champagne is better than other worldly fizz" to a panel at the ABV city to vie for the chance to visit the caves in that county, courtesy of Dom. Ruinart. Trouble is I don't believe it is automatically better. What do readers think?

Greetings Douglas - Edward Arthur Green here. Re Champagne presentation, bon courage as the french would say. I was planning on entering but alas university commitments have precluded me from the inevitable circus. As far as I am concerned Champagne is overpriced and doesn't deserve the reputation it has built up. Traditional method sparklers from all over the world offer much better value for money except the snob factor keeps them from really superceding their French brethren. See you anon.
Good to see you, master Ed Ward! I am sure there will be other opportunities to impress Dom. Ruinart's brigade! When are you next frequenting the Liquid Citadel?
