I was once diagnosed with

Antisocial behavior disorder,

So I joined a support group

But we never meet to be fair

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN AN AVID READER # 2

 

I’ve always been an avid reader

I like books about distant Galaxies

I can’t put down the current one

It’s a great book about antigravity

PROFESSIONALS HAVE AN END OF LIFE # 1

 

Professionals have an end of life

Inescapable, though they may try

Old Lawyers for example just

Lose their appeal, they never die

REAR PROPORTIONS

 

Bimbette said “Tell me Peachy, do

These jeans make my bum look big?”

“Truthfully?” Peaches replied 

“Your bum makes the jeans look big”

PROFESSIONALS HAVE AN END OF LIFE # 2

 

Professionals have an end of life

Inescapable, though they may try

Old stuntmen for example just

Get discouraged they never die

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – THE JACKAL (1997)

 

“The Jackal” is a crime drama, screenplay by Kenneth Ross loosely based on the novel by Frederick Forsyth and Directed by Michael Caton-Jones.

The action starts in Moscow, where the FBI and their Russian counterparts, the MVD, are working on a joint mission to apprehend Russian mobster Ghazzi Murad (Ravil Isyanov) for murder, but he is killed in the process.

In retaliation Ghazzi's brother, Terek (David Hayman) hires an assassin by the code name Jackal (Bruce Willis) to carry out a hit on a high profile American target.

Initial intelligence points to that target being Donald Brown (John Cunningham), the Director of the FBI.

The Jackal is known only by name and reputation, no one in authority knows who he is or what he looks like, some are not sure he even exists, FBI Deputy Director Preston (Sidney Poitier) learns of only one person alive who they know has had ties to the Jackal: former Basque separatist Isabella Zanconia (Mathilda May) , but her whereabouts are unknown, so Preston, MVD officer Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora) turn to the only person who might lead them to her, former IRA gunman Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere), but first they need to get him out of Federal Prison.

 

It’s a great intelligent thriller rather than an all action thrill fest, Willis portrays the perfect cold-blooded assassin, if I have one criticism it would be Richard Gere’s dodgy Irish accent, but it’s still a great thriller.

FRIENDSHIP IS DIFFICULT TO DEFINE

 

Friendship is difficult to define

But I think the best example for me

Is when I walk into someone’s house
