PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted November 21, 2009 People, people! This was entirely a joke. Prompted by cityangel''sapparent devotion to Richard Balls. And a joke that obviously fellcompletely flat.It is a clumsy (and plainly obscure) reference to the speech made by Gordon Brown in which he talked about the post neo-classical endogenous growth theory.It turned out the speech had been written by his then adviser, NorwichCity fan Ed Balls (who may or may not be a relation of Richard''s),prompting Michael Heseltine to quip:"It''s not all Brown, it''s all Balls."For the record, Chops'' panto is easily the best spoof I have seen onANY message board, and a 2009 version would be very welcome reading atChateau PurpleCanary. Apologies all round for any unintentional offence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m touchy at the moment about these things as I recently was plagiarised by a writer who "borrowed" a first draft of a sci-fi short story I wrote from my online writing group, rewrote it (I think he made it worse, but meh) and then entered and won a competition with it. So you caught me at a bad time. Worse is he feels he has done nothing wrong, but anyway. Yada yada yada. Elsewhere.Also, you''re too highbrow! If you''d made a boobies joke, I might have spotted it was humourous.The problem with writing a 2009 version is at the moment there''s little to get stuck into. McNally''s doing well, Lambert''s doing well, the team are playing well, Delia''s keeping a low profile in NCFC terms, though I was pleased to see her awarded a CBE. The best of anything, be it writing or music or whatever comes from misery and suffering, not from pleasure. This is why you will never see a Kool and the Gang album in the Greatest Albums Of All Time list, (and if you ever do then it''s only evidence that the person compiling the list has no ears.)

And that their views are equally all b*alls. Possibly a bit tricky to scan and rhyme that into a panto song, though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The amount of compensation payable to such a victim far outweighs any payment made for a first time writer (millions instead of thousands). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
