“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
After the ‘Shoe-Bomber’, the ‘Crotch-Bomber’ and the ‘Ricin (Castor Oil Plant) Terror Plot’, I shouldn’t be surprised at the fiendish ingenuity of those dastardly evil-doers. Now they’ve taken that harmless everday object, the laserprinter cartridge and turned it into a deadly terrorist weapon to blow up aircraft. Curiously the story underwent at least four changes within the first six hours of it breaking. Finally International news media stated that the plotters wanted to blow up a synagogue in the USA, however over on British side, our Prime Minister declared the deadly toner cartridges were designed to explode over British soil somewhere over the Midlands. They never showed us the actual bombs which they claim were found, they just showed pictures of printer cartridges with some wires hanging off them… Hmm, must remember to re-read Orwell’s 1984 book and watch the film ‘V for Vendetta’.
