  "Such are a few of the peculiarities of the London multitude, when no riot, no execution, no murder, no balloon, disturbs the even current of their thoughts. These are the whimseys of the mass - the harmless follies by which they unconsciously endeavour to lighten the load of care which presses upon their existence. The wise man, even though he smile at them, will not altogether withhold his sympathy, and will say, "Let them enjoy their slang phrases and their choruses if they will; and if they cannot be happy, at least let them be merry.""

  "Bertrand Russell described this study, with its companion volume on Plato, as ' a work of first-class importance which ought to be widely read for its masterly criticism of the enemies of democracy, ancient and modern. His (Popper's) attack on Plato, while unorthodox, is in my opinion thoroughly justified. His analysis of Hegel is deadly. Marx is dissected with equal acumen, and given his due share of responsibility for modern misfortunes. The book is a vigorous and profound defence of democracy, timely, very interesting, and very well written."

  "The general guiding principle for public policy put forward in The Open Society is: 'Minimize avoidable suffering'."
  "The vital question is not 'Who should rule?' but 'How can we minimize misrule?"

• Make a start on Extracts from: "The Open Society and Its Enemies Volume 2: Hegel and Marx" by Karl Raimund Popper (Originally published 1945)

It looked OK when I did the page on the night - but that was after a bottle of the standard Laboratory conferance brand wine: "Vin e' Guerre". While in theory a tee-totaller, Paul piqued curiousity about French wines being optional on whether they taste good as "the method is everything" for French wines. Where as Australian, New Zealand, South African and American wine makers can be a bit more flexible about concentrating on making the wines taste good - even if that means importing grapes from outside the region, etc

  Also, I felt oblidged to add the following to the webpage. A sad day when people of crass colonial stock have to make these corrections - in the hub of the British Empire!

  "(Note: A forest, by the traditional definition, does not necessarily need to have trees. It was an area outside the common law (owned by the king or monarch) where he normally did his hunting (from the Latin: foris meaning "outside"). I would challenge various "common" dictionary definitions of " a tract of wooded land in England formerly owned by the sovereign and used for game". The "wooded" part is optional! Challengers to this interpretation? (L.M.D. Cranswick - with Thanks to Steve back in Melbourne)"

• Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
  It isn't fit for humans now,
  There isn't grass to graze a cow.
  Swarm over, Death!
  
  Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
  Those air-conditioned, bright canteens,
  Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
  Tinned minds, tinned breath.
  
  Mess up the mess they call a town-
  A house for ninety-seven down
  And once a week a half a crown
  For twenty years.
  
  And get that man with double chin
  Who'll always cheat and always win,
  Who washes his repulsive skin
  In women's tears:
  
  And smash his desk of polished oak
  And smash his hands so used to stroke
  And stop his boring dirty joke
  And make him yell.
  
  But spare the bald young clerks who add
  The profits of the stinking cad;
  It's not their fault that they are mad,
  They've tasted Hell.
  
  It's not their fault they do not know
  The birdsong from the radio,
  It's not their fault they often go
  To Maidenhead
  
  And talk of sport and makes of cars
  In various bogus-Tudor bars
  And daren't look up and see the stars
  But belch instead.
  
  In labour-saving homes, with care
  Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
  And dry it in synthetic air
  And paint their nails.
  
  Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
  To get it ready for the plough.
  The cabbages are coming now;
  The earth exhales.
