If The Buddy System Can Fail, I Don’t Know What To Believe In
2008 September 24
Like those Polish twins who were President and Prime Minister at the same time; the German brothers who own the entire discount supermarket erm… market; like Dames James and Rendell* who write crime novels and sit opposite each other in the House of Lords; like growing a goatee beard to play your own evil twin and all the dualistic cosmology that that implies everyone needs a counterpart – evil or not.
Who is yours?
mine’s my brother. we’re irish twins, and two sides of the same coin (only the sides are the same because it’s some kind of magical prankster’s coin).
if you follow.
I have Andy Partridge. I know what I’m going to look like in 15 years’ time.
I liked this from RR’s Wikipedia entry:
“She was fired after writing an article on the local Tennis Club’s annual dinner, which she had not actually attended, thereby missing the untimely death of the after-dinner speaker mid-speech.”
Did you revert the entry?
Rosie – Aren’t Irish twins just called twins in Ireland?
Tim – Best firing I’ve heard of.
Llewtrah – No, it was Pedro Almodovar
it’s an un-PC reference to the catholic rhythm method of contraception, Billy. we’re not actually twins, there’s just less than a year between us.
Ah in that case there were some “Irish” twins in my year at school.
