Sinister: LET'S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT
OK, before I even start. That's 3 incorrect entries already, and as for the latest one, obviously didn't read the book well enough. THE BOURGOISIE IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT!!! THE MIDDLE CLASS. THE BOURGOISIE IS THE UPPER, RULING OR OWNING CLASS. IN MARXIST POLITICS/ECONOMICCS/SOCIOLOGY, THERE ARE 2(TWO) CLASSES-THE PROLETARIAT (THE WORKERS) AND THE BOURGOISIE-(THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANIES/INDUSTRIES THAT THE PROLETARIAT WORK IN), AND NO, I REPEAT NO MIDDLE CLASS. THE BOURGOISIE ARE NOT THE MIDDLE CLASS, THEY ARE THE OWNING OR UPPER CLASS. OK. In a related aside, I looked up 'pastie' in a French/English dictionary yesterday and the closest i could find was 'pastis' meaning 'aniseed aperitif' but also 'muddle, confusion or fix'. Close, maybe... Anyway, I'll come back soon with a nice message to properly introduce myself, but for the moment I was stirred into action by a few people getting a few important details essentially wrong.

Ok, fair enough, there's no need to shout! However, the "textbook" definition doesn't always necessarily apply to artistes does it? Well, what I mean is, Stuart is allowed to interpret such words into his own meaning (and language obviously :|), as I distinctively remember when he and Isobel were staying at ours, and we first heard "Pastie" and asked him what the title meant, he said " it's something like the apathy of the middle-class". He said it! PROMISE! Let's not be angry anymore ... please? Cheers, Katrina. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
