BRAEKING NEWS: Miroeses plane diwerted

MES AMIS .... teh pilot has just saided that teh flight at JFK hairport NYC landinate due to Hurricane Sandy, a wery bad storm that NYC has hitted. Majroce had of course about teh Hurrican read but assumed that maybe teh airport was open agian. Unfrotunately it was not, and Aterrisage Force (teh hairline with witch Mierose is flying) did not abuot it know because (a) thier subscription to teh Aviataion Weather Service(TM) had lapsed as they couldnt pay teh subscription fee *& (b) no body at Atterrissage Forcé HQ reads teh news.

SO teh pilot has  just announcinated that he decided to land at a nother major hairport instead has. Since tehy dont have acess to the Weahter Reports he does not know exactly wehre teh storm has closed hairports & generally caused devistation so he decidded to diwert to California has. Teh hairyplane will be landing at Well Known Major Hairport Sonoma Valley Hairport instaed. Mirose will tehn a taxi get to NYC, as soon as everything's restored after teh strom.

Moarise is of course NOT wery happy abuot tihs & thinks teh storm shuold have chosen a time when Moerose (who is, after all, teh gratest geynius to ever live ever) was not planning to in NYC be. It was teh least it cuold have done. Eh bien, tthere is nothing Morawce can do now. Tehre is nothing to be gained from shouting at or attempting to beat up teh cabin staff , they fix this problem cannot (though Moarise admits he did slightly try to punch the steward when he this first heard ... and maybe threw his coffee at him! Still, it was nothing & the stewart shouldnt ahve been so upset at Miroce).

EH BIEN. Tihs just a short post is ment to be. Bon amis in NYC who waiting for Moerose are ..... he will be there soon!! AS soon as tihngs back to Normal are. In teh meanthyme, he had been meaning to wisit San Fran Cisco, so may be tihs is a good time to do so!!?!??!?!? ALso, Mooarose hopes his amis in NYC & teh rest of teh East Coast much safe are & ahvent been badly affectinated by teh stupid  much bad & annoying non-genius storm.

a bientôt....!!!.... & bon courage!!!!

IN FLIGHT TO NYC TO TOKYO

MES AMIS ... mawrise is curently inflight from Tokyo to NewYorkCity(TM). He quite an adwenture getting on to teh flight haded. He arivinated quite late for his hairyplaneflight because APPARENTLY, ALLEGEDLEY 15 minutes it not enuogh time to get from Moarise his hotel to teh airyport, check in to teh flight, go thruogh security & go to teh gate & get on teh flight is. ALLEGEDELY,. Maurise tihnks it is, & he a grate geynius is. Must have been a templar plot to delay him. YES, taht's it.

EH BIEN. Mirose managed to on a nother flight get as Atterissage Force have flights going from Tokyo every half huor for reasons even teh hairline isn ' t quite certain of. He had to fly to teh le Republique de le Congo & change to another flight, but he thihs has to do wiht all atterrissage force flights, tehy all through teh Le Républic du Congo go.

SO Moarose is currently in flight on teh leg of his flight from Brazzaville, Republic du Congo to New York City, New Yokr State, U.S.A. He currently availing himslef of teh free WiFI is ((WELL .... it not raelly free is, yuo meant to pay teh stewardess a fee of 14,000.14 Central African Francs = € 21.34 EUR which NOT mutch for a geynius of Moroses stature is but STILL its teh principal Muarrise shuoldnt ahve to payinate for trivial things like taht & IT a simple tihing for Mirose to gain entry for free was just by breaking into teh hairyplane's key central comptutor systems.)) to a wobleg post write.

SO Mirose quite a month has had, THose who were inteligent & obserwant enough to raed Miorse his PREVIOUS wobleg post (from Yes-ter-day) Mirose has been in NYC. And Paris. And Argentina. And Sydney. And TOkyo. And now, NYC again. QUITE A MONTH FOR TRAVEL EVEN BY TEH STANDERDS OF MIROSE. He did tihs for no particulalar raison OTHER TAHN TAHT MARWOSE HE WANTED TO. And taht it good enough reason for any body is. but may be tihs coming month (NOWEMBRE) Mirose will take mutch quieter, wiht just a small trip to San Francisco, & may be go back to Italy at teh end of teh month. YES, thats all.

HMM ... teh hairyplane pilot says we curreently flyinating over Kazakstan are, because he a worng turn somewhere took ... AGAIN. Typical. <Might be a long flight mes amis. Muarise cannot decide : should he work on writing his NEXT work of GEYNIUS ??? or shuold he spend some thyme playing his latest up to date Comptutor game he likes called DOOM II on his state of teh art lapttopcomptutor??????? TOUGH DECISION MES AMIS.

PS Morose can now his name write in ENGLISH, FRANCAISE & JAPONESE:

ENGLISH: Muarice.
FRENCAISE: Màïùrrèéçë
JAPONAISE: Mōrisu // モーリス

UPDATE @ 4:20AM: miurose wishes to denyinate rumours taht teh difficultys teh hairyplane is expereincing (INCLUDING TEH NAWIGATION PORBLEMS) are caused by Morose hacking into teh hairyplanes key avionics comptutor systems so he could free WIFI get. COMPLETELY UNRELATED. Mirose hardly any software/files/settings deleted, and its only 65.7% probable taht he locked teh pilot out of teh flight control system.DONT BELEIVE UNSABSTANTIATED RUMOURS SPREAD BY JEALOUS LEASER MINDS WHO OF MIREOSE JEALOUS ARE.

Mirose in Tokyo

MES AMIS .... Mirose is curently in Tokyo & a chance to his Japonaise speaking practice thuogh confusingly the locals they understand it not.

Eh bien, that not the point is. Teh point is taht Moaroce has had a WERY bisy month. In octobre Mirose flew from NY to Paris, & from tehre to Argentina & from tehre to Sidney & from tehir to Tokyo & from their to New York. It a mutch action packed Month was, & Mirose almost ,missed a few of his hairyplaine flights , but he it managed ! It quite a N acheive,ment was.

Eh bien. HE enjoyed a few days in his hoseu in PARIS before flyinating to Buenose Aires. Tehn he an enjoying weekend in Argentina had, tehn to Sidney flew. He  a good week in Sidney had & it good weas . Then  he went to Tokyo went by hairyplane and taht where he is now is.  It mutch excitin g is & Mirose as found a few naerby restorants taht nice are. One has a WERY GOOD Selection of Burgundy, which wery authentic & wery nice is. Anohter restorant is a n auhtentic japonais restorant wiht a good selection of sake (en francaise -- 日本酒) taht Mirose has enjoyed dirnking. He has impresed teh waiters iwht his wery good grasp of Japonese. ""Un buoteille de saké, s"il tu plaite garcon,:" he said. & Tehy mutch impressed by his Japoenese were. Ma ybe MIrose shuold buyinate himself a cjhic little apratment here in Tokyo. It mutch good were.

Eh bien. ALSO mirose forgotted to mention that he also in argentina more than a weekend spent & went to wisit his wineyard tehre & it mutch good is growing. His manager tehre is NOT a geyniuis of Mieroses stature but he is seeming to be a good job there doing. Mirose can not wait to teh whine from here tasteinate, but apraently it much years will take. stupid nongeynius manager. Mirose is a grater geynius & he knows he cuold taste teh whine NOW if teh manager wuold him let.

EH BINE. that not teh point is.

Teh point is Mirose his flight to NY City leaves in 15 minutes so Maorise shuold ring for a taxi to get to the hairyport from his hotel room (witch is where he is now).


SEE YOU IN NYC MES AMIS.

Guest post by Mycroft

It may seem that I have been somewhat derelict in my duties as a "guest blogger" on my brother's esteemed weblog (i.e., this one). And indeed I have not posted anything at all this year. And it's already October.

And yet, there's been so much to do. The budget. Immigration policy. The deficit. And the honourable leader of her majesty's loyal opposition keeps existing, which is really too vexing.

But that's just excuses. Truth is, if I visit Maurice's weblog, I end up reading his prose. And that just drives me to tears. And not in a good way, I can tell you.

But here I am ... currently in London, in Maurice's somewhat spectacular new Greenwich house. I was initially confused as he insists on calling it a "hosue". Did he mean Castle Hosue in Hereford? Or Hosue Nature House Yamabiko in Japan? Turns out it was just a typo. Who'd have thought?

Eh, it's been good to be in London. Been in America for a few months. At least they know how to drive on the right side of the road here, which is to say the left hand side. And meetings with people from ... certain agencies ... relating to ... trade ... have gone well. Despite Maurice leaking my text messages to him (lucky I tell him little of real importance...). And it's been good to be away from the office for a bit. Don't have Julia constantly popping by with new bits of work for me. Could get used to this!

Oh, and the ENO. Good to be able to go see a few performances. And to call into Berry Bros & Rudd for a bottle or two of something ... such as a few bottles of Haut-Brion. Or maybe some Krug. Perfect!

But ... can't! The budget deficit won't solve itself. And the leader of the opposition is still his usual contrary self. So, will have to go back to Canberra soon. But not this week. Or next week.

Mirose his greenwitch hosue.

MON AMIGOS!!!1! Muarise is apologise for teh long brake in posts. He has mutch sekrit inwestigating been doing ... he coven of Templars found hidden in the Tunnels of teh London Metro. He wishes he could more here abuot tihs postinate, but alas, it mutch sekrit is. He willl tell you as soon as he can.!!

Eh bien. Merise has had many friends write, email or wring to ask abuot his new hosue in London. Rather than reply to tehm All separately, he thought he wuold a wobleg post here about it right. As you aware might be, he into tihs new hosue moved on teh 25th July, & instantly problems had. EG: no furniture, no food, etc, as NATURALLY he assumed taht these tihngs would come wiht the hosue (tehy were there when he the house inspectinated with the rael estate agent.).

Eh bien. He quickly over these problems over came. He & his associate Agley were quickly abel to solve tehse problems quickly. We fuond some wery chic antiques stores, & also wisited teh Bermondsey market. It all wery much exciting was. Morrise has not had so mutch excitement since last time he boughted himself a new house & had to it furnish!!!1!!

He has gone for an elegant c18thcentury theme, wich Muarise thinks is much elegant. And indeed, it is so. He himslef painted teh walls in elegant pastel shades (egg shell blue, chiltern white, edwardian lemon, grecian white, ,,,, so many chic colors mes amis!!!?!?!

He has sanded down teh floor boreds, and wiht the help of Agley, sanded them so they most beautiful look. He then positioned his elegant authentic 18thcentury fruniture around his new hosue.

The pride of tihs new hoseu is teh library. At the moment, teh shelves are may be not as full as they couold be, but Mirose is determinated to build up a BIG colection of esoteric , rare & waluable books about teh Templars & other esoteric subjects ... including many of Moarise his other specialities e.g. film & TV in teh pre-Roman period, neolithic spacecraft, etc, etc, etc.. It much magnifique will be when Mirose has more books assembled & he cannot wait for tihs all to be finished.

Also on teh ground floor as well as the librarary is teh kitchen, teh dining room, teh longeu room & teh study. oN teh 1st floor (teh one immeadiately above teh ground floor ) is four bed rooms, a bathroom. On teh 2nd floor (teh one two floors above teh ground floor) is two more bedrooms, another study, another librarty & storadge space. Teh hosue also has a cellar wich Mirose has made suitable to be a wine cllar & already had it stocked wiht magnifique whines.

Teh longue room Mirose is wery proud of . He managed to find some bautiful silk-covered C.18th.Century longues, & a beautiful chippendale sidetable, & several magnifique potted palms. He also a wondreful cabinet to display part of Mirose his extensive beret colelction has installed.

Just before his inwestigations in teh london underground/"TUBE" he scoured art gallerys & many magnifique & authentique 18th & 19th century paintings boughted ... including some wery famous names... Mirose does n't like to "DROP NAMES' but he will mention J.M.W. Stubbs .... Joshua Turner .... George Reynolds ... amongst other s .... magnifuqe & worthy  of the genyius of Mirose.

EH BIEN. Tahts all FOR NOW. Mirose leaves for NY (NEW YORK) wery soon.

Olélympics.

MES AMIS .... this wobleg post has been many daeys in teh planning & Mierhose & his bon ami Agleì are much excited to it with you share. Aglie was so excited taht he tried to tie Meirose to his chair and throw away Mirose his laptop comptutor when Mawrise said taht he would a wobleg post abuot this be writinating. Eh bien, luckily, Moarose managed to get free.

Eh bien. A few days ago when we in a cafe were around sitting ahving brakefast, Agly explaininated that teh Olémpic Games were in fact a Templar Conspiraracy. Mierose insistatinated taht tihs we must indeed of cuorse check out. SO Aglei booked us boht tickets to a badmington matche so taht we into teh olélympic stadium could sneak in undectinated. Mirose had to pretendinate to be interested in badminton: quite a difficult ask, even for a geynius such as Mororse (littel known fact: nobody is interested in badmington, not even the players). But some-how, he tihs remarkable feet managed.

Eh bien. Teh main point is taht Morose & Ageli were abel to buy "tickets": to an "ol;ympic ewent" & go a long just liek any ohter punter, & tehy stopped by teh Templars were not. Once inside, we abel to sneak away from teh game were, & wander around teh stadyium . Mirose quickly found a sekrit door witch lead down to stairs going down in a downwards direction. Mawrise & Agley were abel to take tehse stairs down to teh lower levels below teh Olélympic stadium & find many sekrit tunnels & rooms taht clearly were made by teh Templars for teihr own sinsiter, shady sekrit actiwities. Witch do not, of course, include badmington. Even teh Templars find badmington borring.

We wondered around for several days. After a few days it became clear taht we were lost & cuold not find teh way out. Even thuogh we little supplies had & were in grave danger of running out we our IMPROTANT work kept up. All taht we too intrepid explorers had were:
Mirosses contriubution was OF CUORSE teh most practical & useful. Stupid nongenius Agleiu bringing along marsbars!!!!! Hah!!!!!?!!?!!!1!! Mirose had to show him teh error of his ways by eating tehm all wehn he wasnt looking. Tihs annoyed Aglei wery mutch even when Mirose calmly him reminded taht it OK for Merrese to do so was becuasse Moerose a grate geynius is.

Mierose (grudgingly) agreed to sharinate teh shampain wiht Aglei.

EH BIEN. Taht not teh point is. Whilst in teh tunnels tehy many interwesting Templar sekrists fuond. Aglei stumbled across a heap of discareded sekrit manuscripts withc we purloined. We also managed to infiltrate a sekrit Templar meeting & hide up teh back making notes abuot their diabolical plans for London for teh next 2,000 years following on from teh Olylmpiucs. Tehse included many sekrit & devious plans including:

  • Replacing teh Lord Mayor of London wiht an unelected Templar 
  • Forcing teh banks to engage in unethical & Riskey trading taht wuold bring teh entire finantcials system to its knees, allowing teh Templars to step in & Take control (seems unliekly theylll manage tihs!!!!1!)
  • Increase the cost of taxi rides by 1.118211111111% (Agleu says teh number 1,118,211,111,111 is of GRATE significants to Teh Templars but wont say why. Stupid nongeynius.)
Eh bien. That all of grate interewest & significance was though it became difficult to concentrate as Moarose was slowly STARVING TO DAETH. However, ewentually, we able to find teh exit were & luckily for you all teh grate geynius taht is Morose was saved from starving to death by finding a Small english-style cafe taht served tea & bacon sandwitches. NOT QUITE TEH USUAL LUXURY to withc this geynius used to is, but wery welcome tehn I can assureinate you!!!/1!?!!.!!

EH BIEN. Mirose is planning to stay in London for a few more days, tehn fly to New York. More soon.

A bientot!!!?!?!!!

Mierose his new Greenwitch hosue.

MES AMIS ..... as yuo might rember, Mwerise has arrivinated in sunny Londres on 25ht July 2012 AD. He mutch excitinated to see his new London hosue was , but tehre porblems imeadiately were:
  • Tehre no furniture was. Mwerise by tihs was mutch annoyed, as he had lieked teh furniture taht in teh hosue was & naturally assuminated taht tihs wiht teh house came.
  • Tehre no food in teh fridge was. Morrise naturally assuminated taht teh fridge wuold be left stocked wiht luxury food for him. But tehre wasnt even a fridge!!!1!.
  • Teh Olélympics had some stupid :"OPENING CEREMEONY" wiht fierworks taht him awake all night kept. He much annoyinated by tihs was , & tried to Lodge a NOISE COMPLIANT but teh polis at him just luaghinated.
Since he at London arrived at 1:45 AM he was TOO LATE to buyinate dinner at a restorrant, and TOO LATE to buy fruniture. SO he & Aglei had to go wihtout diner & sleep on teh floor. Mirrose was of cuorse much annoyinated.

Teh wery next day (Auguest 26th) he was abel to go shopping at teh most exlcusive antiques shoppes to mutch furniture buyinate to make his hosue wery luxurious. He also abel to buyinate food , and find teh bestest restorrants in teh region,.

ALSO Mórrise has himslef a new Jagular XF boughted. Teh one wiht teh 5,0L V8 SC engine. And teh Bowers & Wilkins suond system. Muariwse wiht it mutch happy is & even Agliè it mutch likes.

Eh bien. Morrise had mutch excitment in finding antique fruniture for teh hosue. He many wery beautiful peices from the late 19th Centrury found, and a few wery beaitiful peices from teh Elizabeth I period. Including a lovely oak sideboard witch wery lovely is.

Morrise & Agly went for a walk in Greenwitch park & it mutch nice is. Agley & Morise also founded a wery nice cafe near Miruce his house & their brakefast have had many times. One mroning over brakefast (bacon, eggs, coffee) Agley explaininated taht the Olélympics are a Templar conspirarcy. Mworoce will be inwestigatinating teh ... wery interwesting links between teh templars, teh rosicrucians & teh olylympics. He will alowinate Aglié too tag along too..  He will more post abuot tihs here -- as tehy say in Amorica -- watch tihs space...!!!!1!!>??!!!!.,
