Brilliant! I didn't know until now, our National Treasure had his own blog and as a long standing fan of his, I'll be following it.

Thanks, BM :)

1459086 2019-03-28 07:31:00 Better to view the world like an enlightened child rather than a bitter and twisted jaded old man with no sense of humour, probably will live longer as well, can't be good for the body to have a mind that's always saying f... everything. zqwerty (97)

Jones has one of the most brilliantly funny minds and way of expressing himself you can ever hope to be entertained by. Sometimes a George Carlin-like acerbic wit, his is not the kindergarten, in-your-face teen or American humour, pub type crassness. Rather, clever wit supported by a enviable (for most of us) command of the language. Certainly not the wit one has to explain the meaning of to lesser intellects.

I wonder in this interchange just who is the "bitter and twisted jaded old man"?

:)

PS Sir Bob, my bank account number is unchanged from last time I leapt to your defence :lol::lol:

1459088 2019-03-28 21:29:00 I just take one look at the expression on his face and I know he's not where it's at, he looks demented and he's said that very word about a picture that was taken of him sometime back, complaining that the photographer had caught him at a bad time but that's the impression I get whenever I see him.

If he were the last person on Earth I wouldn't hang round with him.

The sense of humour that is absent from his mentality is the ability to laugh the whole thing off and say that's life. He gets genuinely involved and angry about things that don't matter really and although I'll grant you he has an acerbic wit at times he doesn't give me a sense of detachment like Roger Ebert for example.
