Blow The Bloody Doors Off


I loved the following tribute to Sir Michael Caine - which appears in the latest edition of Private Eye.

POETRY CORNER

A Tribute
Lines on the 80th birthday
of Sir Michael Caine,
actor

So. Michael Caine
You are
Eighty

Not a lot of 
People know that

That was you
Catchphrase, even though
You never actually
Said it

Not a lot of 
people know that either

Bang!
Oi! You were only
Supposed to blow those
Bloody candles out

Happy birthday
Sir Michael

So here's a little clip of plain old Michael Caine (as he was then) in the famous 'blow the bloody doors off' scene - from the movie 'The Italian Job'

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
