Wonders never cease

Earl Butz (crazy name, crazy guy!) was Secretary of Agriculture in the early 1970's in tricky Dicky's administration. To my generation (why don't y'all f-f-f-fade away...sorry about that), he is best known for slandering black people with the generalisation that, "all they are looking for in life are a tight pussy, loose shoes and a warm place to shit."

I think that shows keen aspiration. All I'm looking for is a flight that gets in on time and isn't kept waiting because another flight is using our stand. Imagine my surprise then, when yesterday's BA559 from FCO to LHR got onto the stand 15 minutes early at 1840. I've been in shock ever since.

Praise be!
