BEN’S BLOG: ‘Will Stockbroker – Someone I no longer recognise in my world’

[dropcap]B[/dropcap]log, there is a dirty and jealous area of society that I keep coming up against. It is time we start to reveal these proud beasts that seek to produce nothing further than insult and offence.

Last week, Pam Statements set about organising a Chinese at Royal China, followed by the cinema, to see ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. In attendance would be: Harry ‘I’ll come and find you in India if you rump me’ Macadam, Agent Y, and Will Stockbroker. Added to this, we invited Gaul Wood along to balance things up a bit, and possibly too, to even act as guest-speaker at our little capitalists tea-party. (Gaul declined, via email, providing the excuse that he was taking a week’s holiday to reconnect with nature and attend an anti-fracking demo.)

Will Stockbroker came back to say that he would not be attending due to already having seen the film. I thus asked his opinion as to who he deemed to be cooler out of Jordan Belfort and Gordon Gekko.

Quote:

‘GG is obviously cooler but Jordan Belfort was real so deserves more credit.’

Silence fell across the call like a heavy veil, for us to never speak again. Never, ever.

Whilst GG’s rep may have been somewhat tarnished in Wall Street 2, by possibly more than just a whiff of morality, and a holier-than-thou daughter who forgot who and how the party was paid for, he is, officially, still the coolest of all time and most definitely real.

Gekko-deniers are not welcome on this blog. Please take this as an official notice.

In other news:

Went to see ‘American Hustle’, the other night. Significantly over-rated. If they were true Not-Staffs, they would never have left the mayor out in the cold to be slaughtered by the corporate people. I also thought that their moves lacked a degree of finesse and consideration. Their choice of ‘customers’ seemed very poor to me too.

Tried L’Eto, for a cake, before the film. They are a new mini-chain that have opened-up for business, in and around the West End, serving-up fancy little, and arty looking, desserts and delicacies. Myself and Belindabelle were in full agreement that the grub looked far better than it tasted.

I couldn’t get the thick sugar out of my mouth for a day, and felt like my nut was going to depart from my body half way through the film.

My advice: stick to Coco Maya. On a different level.

Check out the American Hustle trailer…. what do you think? ….

I shall be reporting back regarding further injustices and needed corrections.
