I graduated with two law degrees from the University of Cote St. Luc Law School in Montreal. Despite the fact I spoke very good French having learnt this noble language at the King’s School for Young Men in Bombay my French was trés Parisien and nowhere near the joual of the Montreal working class. IContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 19: Escaping Quebec Nationalist Fervor from Montreal to Hogtown!”

The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 17: A Big Shot with a Bachelor of Arts: What Next? The Panacea of Law
I breezed through my Bachelor of Arts programme at McGill University begging the question what was next? In the midst of my political science studies, I noted hordes of political science students slavishly busting their butts day and night in search of high grades to enable entrance into the hugely competitive law school admissions stream.Continue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 17: A Big Shot with a Bachelor of Arts: What Next?

The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 16: Eastern European Espionage and that Spaghetti Sauce with Ground Horsemeat
My assignment for the Central Intelligence Agency caused me no moral dilemma. My assignment was simply to be somewhat of an academic traveller. I was a student of Eastern European politics so I had every “valid” reason to be visiting Eastern Europe hanging out in various universities in Eastern Europe and gauge the sentiment ofContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 16: Eastern European Espionage and that Spaghetti Sauce with Ground Horsemeat”
The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 15: Fishing with the Central Intelligence Agency on Lake Champlain: Operation Berlin Wall Humpty Dumpty
You have read that I had been approached at McGill University by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police to act as an informant to turn in and rat on “student revolutionaries”. I walked away from that “opportunity”. I was an Eastern European political scholar and of course I made summer plans to visit Yugoslavia, Bulgaria andContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version): Chapter 15: Fishing with the Central Intelligence Agency on Lake Champlain: Operation Berlin Wall Humpty Dumpty”
RKS 2025 Literature: A Physician Unable to Establish a True Relationship
“This silly notion served to help me overcome my emotions and see him for what he was-a man relying on his social status as the sagacious doctor to add effect to his words. It was the insensitivity of the physician telling his patient he is going to die under the mistaken belief that being bluntContinue reading “RKS 2025 Literature: A Physician Unable to Establish a True Relationship”
The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned But Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 14: The Torrid Sex Life of a Freshman
Rest assured this chapter title was required in my contract with Wuhan Wet Market Publishing. It is misleading. It is salacious and designed to sell copies. The contract did not state the contents of the chapter though other than it must be as lurid as possible! It could be the lack of torrid lust wasContinue reading “The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned But Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 14: The Torrid Sex Life of a Freshman”

RKS 2025 Literature: The Mysterious Female Mind
“God may work in mysterious ways, but perhaps not as mysterious as the female mind-unless of course God is a woman, which would explain a lot of things. Men, it seems to me, either obey a law, never questioning it, or they break it with intent. Women see it for what it is-legislation or aContinue reading “RKS 2025 Literature: The Mysterious Female Mind”
RKS 2025 Literature: Pissed Australian Men
“Sure, there were drunks among the Aboriginal people, but fair go-my own family testified to the fact these were greatly outnumbered by drunks of my own race. The white male population remained more or less pissed for the first hundred years in Australia. Moreover the second century of white occupation isn’t proving to be aContinue reading “RKS 2025 Literature: Pissed Australian Men”
“The Penniless Pensioner” : Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 13: My Espionage Opportunity With The Favourites of Old Monarchist Bags and Naïve Schoolchildren, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police
The Vietnam War ended some 5 years ago but that did not prevent political disturbances from rocking the campus grounds of Montreal’s McGill University. The United Mutations were mobilizing support for mutants of the world. The Marxist Leninists the exploitation of students and workers, Hillel fighting against Palestinian terrorism, the Palestinians griping about the occupationContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner” : Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous (The Final Version):Chapter 13: My Espionage Opportunity With The Favourites of Old Monarchist Bags and Naïve Schoolchildren, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police”
