I thought the story of the little kid and the two lovers in Malawi were both so sad. <br />As for Gandalf...I mean Sir Ian... yeah I agree with you his older name was better.<br />But as for a Celt receiving an honour from the German Queen...

I can never call him Sir Ian McKellen... I don...... I can never call him <i>Sir</i> Ian McKellen... I don't dislike him for accepting it, but I will never recognize any honour bestowed by a monarch -- too much of a small-r republican. And *especially* if it's an honour bestowed on a Celt by a monarch of an occupying, colonizing bunch of wankers, to get all "Trainspotting" on ya... :P<br /><br />Other than that, Simon, great column! <i>Hail brother, well met -- to the battlements; there's evil powers to overthrow!</i> :D'bertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359719357963538654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-62633491641140854552010-05-17T21:07:02.977-04:002010-05-17T21:07:02.977-04:00*hugs**hugs*prinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208208987226715826noreply@blogger.com
