Sixteen past continuous days has now seen the 2010
Ideal Home Show at London’s Earl Court come finally
to a close today, on this Easter Monday.
---
At tickets priced from £11.00 and up, more than 250,000
paying folkz have now visited the biggest home show in
the UK. I was there, too. It was also the 102nd show to
date. It was my first visit to such a show and it’ll
most certainly be my last!

Inside The UK's 2010 Ideal Home Show.
---
Elbow to elbow at times, the crowd inside the fancy show was like
cattle being driven by prodding cattle ranchers from one display
to another or from one hawker to another or from one booth to
another. The visual and mental overload of trying to take in all
the stuff on sale or on display was too much. One just had to
block out alot of it just to absorb what was sensible to one’s
attention span and level of absorption.
---
Ideal Beauty! Yes, my dear!
---
For rubberneckers and those into seeing lots of
nice womenfolk at the show, it was fun for sure for
guyz like me. But other than that, I began to wonder if
the Ideal Home Show was really little more than a London
glorified street market - like Petticoat Lane, Portobello
Road or East Street - at where crowds pack the place and
every kind of market vendor is trying to flog something
to you to buy.
---
What The Hell Are You Laughing At?
---
Take a step in whatever direction one wanted to go at
the show and there you’d see another "parrot" demand-
ing one’s attention or your money to buy their fancy crap
that was grossly over priced and of little use, I suspect,
to anybody once they got it home after the show.
---
A good example of that was on the second level of the 2010 Ideal
Home Show that saw one smartass, in his early 20’s and thin as a
bone, doing his demo to sell $400.00 food blenders that shouldn’t
have been more than 100 quid at most. Pulling every trick in the
book and talking faster than a ferret, the bloke was a master of
sales tricks and practiced deceit that saw some stupid people
actually fall for his con and paying out their 400 quid like
mesmerized zombies.
---
I watch him at work standing almost at the back of him
and saw the tricks he pulled that those at the front could
not see him do. He would drop one thing in a bucket and
then produce it like a miracle all dry and nice from a
hidden shelve as if it was the same blender he's just
showed. “To be honest with you, I wouldn’t lie to you,”
he repeatedly said bare face as he lied without a wince
on his cunning face. “So good is this product, we give you
a 5 year guarantee with our seal of approval," he declared
knowing probably that few, if any such buyers,
would ever come back before the 5 years was up.
---
It's My First Bath With My Clothes Still On!
---
The more I explored the 2010 Ideal Home Show, the
more I was convinced it was little more than a glorified
street market except for having to pay an entrence fee
to get inside.
---
"Can I Help?," She Asked.
"Most Certainly You Can," I Replied!
---
If your taste and wallet is into expensive ocean water
things like yachts and luxury boats, then Sunseeker
Boats at the Ideal Home Show may be just the thing for
you starting at around £700,000 (or $1.2 million) for a
pretty seaworthy thing that does absolutely nothing for
me personally. Last year, I went yacht sailing with some
of Contessa Maria’s well-to-do friends in Italy and I
enjoyed it thoroughly. But my desire to own such is the
last thing I’d want or any kind of boat ownership. Even
when I saw upfront Mircosoft’s Bill Gates at New Orleans
with his fancy $6 million yacht or big boat fitted with heli-
copter landing pads, I was unimpresed by it. Whatever,
even seeing such luxury boats for sale at London's Earl
Court, I still felt the whole 5-6 hour experience there
was more like a glorified street market than a so-
called home show ...
---
Show Yellow, Too!
---
Ah, I agree that most street markets don't have
bomb-sniffing dogs running about like I saw at
London's 2010 Ideal Home Show. Yes, I also agree
that at regular street markets it would be nigh
impossible to find a £700,000 new boat for sale.
But once you forget those exceptions, the show I
saw was little more than a glorified street market.
So there we are ...

The Killing of Eugène Terre'Blanche In
Black South Africa. By Uncle Monty.
.
More 3,000 white South Africans have been
killed or murdered by native blacks since Nelson
Mandela become the country's first black president.
.
So the killing of the white, right-wing, Afrikaner leader
Eugène Terre'Blanche, 69, inside his own home by two local
blacks two days ago, has now sparked real fears of renewed
and open racial strife inside Black South Africa. He was the
leader of The AWB (Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging or
Afrikaner Resistance Movement.) He called and wanted
for a white homeland for those whites under constant
threat of crime and violence from South Africa's mass of
blacks who have not fared well even under the hope and
promise of the black-controlled goverment at Pretoria
after the end of apartheid.
.
With just weeks away from the World Cup 2010, South
Africa cannot afford to have further violence of any kind
that seems to be the hallmark of modern South Africa
in which more than 600 cops have been killed of late.
.
Eugène Terre'Blanche's vicious killing took place at his
white farm over what reports say was a wage dispute
with two of his blacks workers, with one only 16 years
of age, who literally hacked him to death inside his
bedroom at where he was asleep. The farm is not
terribly far from the crime-ridden and dangerous
street of Johannesburg at where I myself was robbed
in broad daylight by five criminal blacks who accosted
me on Brea Street and robbed me blind and then threw
me on the sidewalk like I was a rag doll. I had only been
in Joburg less than 4 hours! The South African Police
Service (SAP) was of no help in finding and prosecuting
such brazen street robbers who did their thing right in
front of hundreds of people watching the crime take place
and did nothing to help me because I suspect I was white
and a visiting tourist. Joburg - called South Africa's New
York - is far more deadly than even New York at its worst.
.
So fearful of possible revenge by friends and loyalists
of Eugène Terre'Blanche, the wretched Jacob Zuma, the
latest black South African president, was quick to go on
TV to express his public condolence to The Terre'Blanche
Family and described the killing as "cowardly." Of the
close to 44 million blacks in South Africa, 8 million are
of white Afrikaner stock or simply called "Boers."
.
If the aftermath of the nasty killing of Eugène
Terre'Blanche isn't handled by the Zuma Government
with grave care, then the whole racial aspect of the case
could soon convulse into open street warfare and pro-
tracted revenge that would damage South Africa's
already battered black image in the world.

Terreblanche, who fought to preserve apartheid in the
Archbishop Rowan Douglas Williams of Canterbury.
Your Grace, Please Shut Your Gob!
By Uncle Monty.
...
It is totally bizarre, it seems to me, for an Archbishop
of Canterbury like Rowan Douglas Williams to publicly
condemn leaders of another church. Privately condemn
the sins of child sex abuse most certainly yes, but publicly
love the sinners of such and urge their repentance without
further ado no matter if they are Catholic or Protestant
or something in between.
.
When His Anglican Grace later called to apologise to the
Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, for his inappropriate
outburst, had I been His Catholic Eminence I would have
refused to accept the call from Lambeth Palace and
publicly told His Grace to go to living hell.
.
As a devout Anglican, I was embarrassed by my own
archbishop for his public condemnation at Holy Week.
His religious timing, too, couldn't have been timed any
worse. When Rowan Williams, England's publicity-mad
primate, declared the Irish Catholic Church had
"no credibility" based on its handling of the sex and
physical child abuse scandal rocking Ireland's church
leaders, I think he did it for religious sensationalism that
makes him now look rather pathetic it seems to me.
.
Whatever, it also seems to me that Rowan Williams is
doing the very opposite of what we would expect of a
national Church leader. That is he should "privately
condemn." And if need be, "publicly praise." Not the
other way around at where he has publicly condemned
and has now done grave harm to those seeking to
rectify things in Catholic Eire. I have already written
on the subject of Ireland's past clerical child abuse:

Rowan Williams on The Irish Church.

All I can say at this stage to him is
"Your Grace, Please Shut Your Gob!"

Gordon Brown, New Labour's No. 1 Jackass.
"I'm A Good Samaritan," So He Says.
By Uncle Monty.
.
Tomorrow, April 6th, 2010, is believed to be the day
when New Labour's oddball leader Gordon Brown will
call upon the Queen to formally "Dissolve Parliament" for
the start of the 2010 British General Election that is be-
lieved to be finally set for May 6th. After stringing us all
along for far too long, Jackass Brown will then reveal his
political cards and off we then go to decide if New Labour
will be elected to yet another hideous five-year term of
their socialistic and communistic agenda over the
unhappy British White People.
.
A few days ago, mind you, “Gordon Brown hails
Christianity 'the conscience of our country'... and
claims (New) Labour is 'the Good Samaritan’,”
reports James Chapman.
My story "No Good Samaritan For Us" will tell of how
New Labour as only been a 'Good Samaritan' to every-
body but the true white English people over the past 12
years or so of its ignoble, abusive, and treacherous policies,
laws, and agendas. Such have now almost destroyed the
very core of everything that was once good and wholesome
of being British before the rise of the socialistic humanists
and leftist loonies that now dominate dreadful New Labour.
.
To call himself "The Good Samaritan" is truly sick when
his party has been the most anti-Christain and anti-faith
government to date while "brown-nosing" to every Muslim
now supporting the pro-Islam British Labour Party of which
jackass Brown supports just like does his vile buddy Anthony
Blair, who is to campaign again to get New Labour, he hopes,
re-elected for a fourth destructive term in office.
More soon about Brown the "Good Samaritan."

pieces. you should be the one to be condemned not them. you should be sent to robbin island; i hate white bigots like you - kokko anzwer in z.a.

To Mr. Anzwer. You sound rather silly. Dearest Monty is not a bigot, he just writes what he honestly believes without apology. Like you, I too am from South Africa or ZA - Durban, in fact. I happen to be back here in London for Easter. Unlike you, I know Dearest Monty quite well. In fact we had Monday lunch together at my happy invitation. When I read your silly comments, I was peeved because like so many black South Africans you find fault when no fault exists. Dearest Monty is a man of great talent. You can see it in the wide range of articles he broaches on his fantastic blog.
If you look at his latest articles
they go from the Ideal Home Show
to Eugene Terreblanche's terrible murder (yes, in our own counry of ZA) to the Church nitwit Rowan Williams to the unelected Gordon Brown who should never have been in No. 10 to start with. So what is so bigotted about Uncle Monty's 4 in 1 articles? Yes, he can be provocative in what he writes,
but hardly inflammatory or bigotted from what I read. I
tend to agree very much with Dearest Monty's view of things.
His depth of understanding
on a wide range of issues I admire that perhaps you're too silly to
grasp like the dumb clown I think
you are. LEAVE MY DEAREST MONTY
ALONE!!!! Elizabeth Middleton (D.B.E), Z.O.
