'once I did something wrong'

burt lancaster waits for death. when the killers come for him he makes no attempt to run. horsemouth watched a documentary on don siegel (who remade the killers) and then he watched the robert siodmak original of the killers with burt.

in siodmak's version it is burt who is centre stage (despite being dead). 

so why didn't he run?

'once I did something wrong' 

good morning! good morning! horsemouth is up and about. (well ok he's made it as far as the kitchen and successfully made a cup of coffee. 

'ministers have rejected a key recommendation from the grenfell tower public inquiry that all disabled tenants should be given a personal evacuation plan in the event of a fire...

the home office said it has decided it is not proportionate or practical to introduce the plan, citing problems such as the costs to landlords.'

horsemouth is reminded of the anarcho-punk song 'do they care?' ('do they care? (repeat many times) like fuck'). horsemouth will post a link to the grenfell tower inquiry podcast which is reliably blood boiling listening. we now have the pattern, the inquiry will recommend, the government will ignore, people will die next time (but money will have been saved(allegedly)).

vangelis (the man who soundtracked the future) has died. theres his stuff with demis roussos in aphrodite's child as well.  

it's a grey morning (but yesterday turned out well - ok no horsemouth has checked the weather forecast, drizzle, rain etc. clearing up in the evening). horsemouth was reading iain banks' canal dreams in it he found (as a bookmark) a ticket to the english national opera production of peter grimes for 30th may 2009 (there are no other notes, comments or inter-leavings in the book that he can see). yesterday he walked up (with TG) to the cafe in the wetlands (probably 5-6 miles there and back). TG is keen to travel on further (up to epping forest if needs be).
