Godalming Geek/Merrow Marriage
It's not every day that you get handed a copy of The Times and are confronted with a large photo taken from your school yearbook, but that's exactly what happened today. Not my photo of course, my own diabolical plans for world domination are yet to muster any interest from the national press. No, this was a photo of one Christian Jozefowicz (or Christian Bailey as he is now known). We didn't mix in the same circles. As The Times puts it...Mr Bailey’s Royal Grammar School contemporaries recall a business-obsessed, “geeky” individual with few friends. “He was a nerd at school,” one told The Times. Another described him as a “school joke” who told everyone he was going to be a millionaire.
If they had asked my opinion, I'd have been less kind. I'd have probably said "Christian Jozefowicz? Utter twat." The fact that he had few friends probably accounts for why I inexplicably got invited to his birthday party when I was about 13, an event which I had little choice but to attend, and have all but blanked from my memory. At the time, I almost felt a pang of pity for the guy for the fact that the only people at his birthday party were there under duress. But then I remembered that really, he was just an utter twat.
Hopefully the next time I read about him it is because his rotten corpse is being dragged through the streets of Falluja. If you think I am being ironic there, for once I am not. My contempt for him knows no bounds, the war profitering piece of shit scum can rot in hell for I care. It is far more than he deserves.
Thankfully my last post before Christmas will end on a less ugly note. The Telegraph today carried a front page picture of another of my contemporaries, Roland Buerk who one year after nearly being killed by the Boxing Day Tsunami has married the woman who saved his life. Other than being in the same scout troup at school I had little dealings with the guy, but he struck me as a decent sort of chap and I wish him well.
It is amazing how the same school can churn out men of such differing quality.
