The Village Notes

Fri, Sep 17, 2010

So what if our Brian likes his pint, a fag, and a singsong that lasts into the early hours. Nothing criminal in any of that, in fact it just makes him like many of the rest of us. The question is would we be more relieved if Brian was tucked in with his blankie and teddy before 12 o’clock every night? Not at all. In fact I have always distrusted those who can leave an early morning singsong when it’s still in full swing, they’re a bit too disciplined, self obsessed, and single minded for my liking. Yes Brian sounded a bit hoarse but he wasn’t incoherent or blotto, in fact his answers were typically political: woolly, vague, and saying very little, but sure what’s unusual about that?
