I’ve noticed that my resolutions involve me not doing stuff that I wasn’t going to do anyway so here’s something more positive. I’m going to retrain as a Latin teacher in a provincial public school (Arthur Smith Quotes)
Global warming, the ongoing destruction of the planet, Third World debt, the uselessness of the railways, the takeover by the corporations, the scary George Bush person: all these things are important and should be animating me into outrage. Yet somehow they do not. (Arthur Smith Quotes)
Sometimes it’s good to do something that you’ve never done before, so yesterday, I went out to buy Elton John’s new album. (Arthur Smith Quotes)
