Up Close and Personal
The monthly comment from CTM Founder Phillip Day

Hi All,

I hope this finds you in good spirits.

Samantha and I are at the halfway point of our Aussie tour, kicking back in sunny Cairns. This is the Beverly Hills of Australia, where crocs rub shoulders with Gucci, and strange things happen to the parrots at sunset, which frankly I find disturbing. It's been a hard slog up from the Gold Coast in the estate, some 1,300 miles in all, though hardly comparable to the dusty trailsloggers of old (hooey, phutt.)

Travel broadens the mind. I now know a 'salty' from a freshy' (a saltwater croc as opposed to the garden variety which lives in the summer-house). I've learned you should only do 60 kph through Cardwell and not a gnat's appendage over. 65% of the snakes here are deadly. So, Australia as you always want it, wild, abandoned, smart; Discover Northern Queensland Before Northern Queensland Discovers You. Knowing a 'salty' from a 'freshy' under such circumstances, I imagine, constitutes life-or-death intelligence.

I digress. Here's EClub this month, there's lots to tell you.

Britain is one of the most surveiled nations on earth (surprise). For the conspiracy buffs who believe 'it is as bad as you think and they are out to get you', the Illuminati is well on its way to galactic dominion, though Tom Hanks probably won't be the one who'll save you (sorry, Mum). There is the one fatal flaw to the CCTV masterplan, however, which I do hesitate to make public for obvious reasons. According to research, watching TV slows down the metabolism and makes you fat and stupid, begging the obvious two questions, 'What good are we going to be as your slaves then?' and 'What good will you be as our masters?'

What's that? Soylent Green?

So, we're getting looked at a lot more in Britain than other people are. British police are muzzling their Alsatians to prevent the infringement of a suspect's gluteal rights. MEP Daniel Hannan explains how Brussels cheats at monopoly. And take care lest the new recycling Gestapo levies fines and chastisement upon your unworthy neck for not doing the green thing properly. Hard to believe, but then it all could just be a dream, according to Neitzsche.

On the health side, breast screening can actually cause cancer, official. (Use infrared thermography, it's safer). Britain has the worst diet in Europe while America, a perennial offender, is reversing her decline in hospital food, hoping patients live long enough to enjoy it. Then there's Dr James Le Fanu's excellent article on pesky symptoms and why medicine may not be so good for you after all (hooey, phutt).

Bake for thirty minutes, then garnish with a liberal topping of gender-bending chemicals, mobiles and virility, flu jabs for mums-to-be ("Your Inoculation Simply Will Not Be Missed!"), and there you have this month's offering. Perhaps Sam and I are better off braving the salties and freshies or 'shark biscuit' surfing in the billows off Bondi. I'm not certain what the insurance will pay for. How much face we can lose.

Have a great month!

Phillip
