think of whom i would describe as a
true intellectual.
sometimes even after a three day bender
he could debate about the finer point
of anything.
although after a three day bender you
can't understand anything he says, and
sometimes during the long pauses, while
he's thinking, i forget what we were
talking about.
sharp as a marble me.
now..! Great man; can outlast many at
parties, and can still manage to have a
slurring rant with you and leave you
wondering where your mind went at that late
late hour. A hoard of interesting and not-so-
interesting (to the masses, Leon, to the
masses! ; )) facts live in his mind, and he is
also someone who likes music to death, as
well as other art and lit/non lit, fillums,
discotheque antics...Leon's lovely, a good
friend. Also has the most enormous
collection of books I have ever seen, cough
cough. He is mysterious, an enigma, yet
very friendly and fun and interesting:
peculiar!
strikes me as a thoroughly decent
sort. he is easily confused, however.
i have never worn a cravate in my
life!! i know a man who has, though....
fellow, as most people on here have
said already. he is also like a walking
encyclopedia - how he remembers all
those things i just don't understand:
far too full of knowledge for how old
he is.
side and say in a sweet exhausted tone
of voice:-) Leon - Leon, Leon, Leon,
Leon. Your the foundling daughter of
Dame Dorothy Speed - a wingwalking
female homosexualist extravaganza, She
brought you up good, spanked you well
and often. Leon has a great ass, sexy
rose-bud lips and is a general peach.
When he is 'humbah', we are humbled.
Oh, and those eyes! Do I sound like an
aunty? I use him as a human shield to
stop Jack trying to kiss me - and what
a glorious Manazon shield he is.
dominatrix - if it hadnt been for that
ill fated lunch young man, i would not
be spanking sad old perverts! leon is a
badgers pal and gives good book gifts,
mucho luv to ya
into a rather spiffy musical secret
society, for which I am forever in his
debt. He's a bit Scottish, but hey,
the world would be a boring place if
we were all perfect.
(obscure to me) 19th century literature in his
shopping bag, and manage to wrap this up
into a diatribe about the state of industrial
policy and the decline of the Koren kiritsus
cross-ownership. A much lost art and very
impressive.
And he does seem to write good articles, and
know nearly everyone in glasgow (who are also
journalists). And there's the story about when
Texas played T in the park, which still makes
me fall of my seat when i hear it, even if i'm
the one telling the story. So basically a nice
chap and useful to have around if you cant
remember who rousseau was again.
