his seminal work growing up stupid under the Union Jack ought to be required reading for you and all combermerians especially the ones who it is their wont to tell all and sundry that they are devoid of hubris and pomposity ....... oh the irony
if ah laugh ah pop ....... have a lovely day

If I am not mistaken he was the one who popularized if not coined the name "Cawmere"

i think his term was "dem Cawmere boys" when he used to write in the papers. was required reading for any Cawmerian and solidified our oneness.
but going school i hated him when he was the chairman of CBC. every bloody evening i wanted to watch Fraggle Rock or the Muppet Show, he on the TV interviewing someone or talking some cerebral nonsense. man used to get me vex as shoite until i learnt he was a Cawmerian

You are not as old as I thought.
The stories of your divorces have been greatly exaggerated.

have u seen Waldo tribute to Tom, thank for your postings

In reply to tc1
from the little of know of him he behaves like an ass. as such he may be a Cawmerian. as he does not care about how he is viewed but i hope he isnt because i have met him at certain functions and at first sight was displeased. he is short and shirty like a certain poster here.
i will have to enquire about his Cawmerianism but from the tribute i thought he was and it sounded as though he is.

What's frustrating for you is interesting and perhaps even a bit glamorous for those of us on the outside looking in. That's why soap operas are so popular.
Mind you most of us would choose pondie's boring one pussy life for ourselves though while living vicariously through you.

ask my good friends Powen and Fuzzy. they have been divorced two.
BTW this is about Tom Clarke not the 3 wives of Michael Sudden

We all know that Powen got 'much Pu$$y,' and jheeri got one piece. Fuzzy keep his bizness private.

Nowadays getting a divorce is like going on vacation. I would prefer at least one of mine to have lasted but that is life and it goes on. When it come to marrying thrice is enough for me. I have come to the conclusion that there is no woman good enough to enjoy my company.
