About Me
- Jemmy Hope
- "Grandad's swearing at the telly..." (Alan Klein, "What a Crazy World.") Old, tired and somewhat disillusioned, but trying to keep up standards. Aware that capitalism cannot be reformed, but despairing of its dissolution in the near future, I use whatever means are available to me to avoid capitulation. I join forces with other resisters in the Industrial Workers of the World.

What made you think of this quote, Jemmy?

I was going to add that it took me X years to realise this, but I couldn't figure out when it became clear to me, so I left it without comment. Other people's opinions of us don't really matter a fiddler's fart. Most people make their minds up about us at first meeting, and some never change that first opinion.
You see, Robert Mitchum said it in a few words, and that impressed me.
R.Mitchum had his way with words..His famous answer to Ava Gardner is a gem:
"NO,Ava! You're addictive.."
I'll let you guess what the question was..

Apparently he got to be a bit of a reactionary in old age, hence the Vietnam quote. Too much time in the company of John Wayne maybe.
