Kiah who?

 

and now you still don't see me

Stammer.  The Labour leader!  And the most invisible man ever in British politics.  Trying to correct his public invisible it, they looked around for is 10 most important quotes.

'5 pint's and some pork scratchings'seem to be his most memorable comment.  The pocket of his most memorable quotes could quite possibly be the shortest book ever published!

After 2 hours of thinking, Kiah declared 'just singular trees that will save'.  This will obviously be the second book quote.

Be invisible does allow him to slip through X ray machines undetected.

Bridge


By JonThm9@aol.com
Reporter With the Salford Herald
Chair of the Bridgewater Redevopment scheme
Tin Chairs PA
R So you are in charge of redeveloping the Bridgewater.
C Indeed, the most underused open sewer …, stretch of water in the country!
R So what is your vision?
C Sorry, you do not have the surveillance profile
T No, no chair! This is your cover job – the canal.
C So not …
T No. Commercial water
C Essential for a good cup of tea!
R The canal!
C Good idea, though not such a good drink!
T You are talking about the Bridgewater!
C Of course – I was confusing you with the international vet who wanted to talk to me about high clearance walkies.
R You or the dogs?
C Dogs? Don’t be silly! They are happy swimming in rivers.
R So your vision.
C 20-20. Yours?
R For the canal!
T I think the chair wishes to talk about the exciting ideas the consultation threw you.
C Did they? Love to read them!
T Here!
C Ah yes! Capital!
R So in brief – it is only three days before we go to press!
C We are going to set up a boat colony. Of narrow boats, with good access links into the city.
So all the high flyers would have their own boat, which could in theory be moved to other places.
R In theory?
C Well yes. We will obviously bolting them in place, so they can’t be sailed off. They will operate as gated communities, so there will be wire meshes and guard fish on patrol in the water.
And for that reason we will establish a breading colony of sharks on the canal, though people tell me there are already loads of sharks in Salford.
R So not so much boasts
C As lumps of concrete secured onto the Bridgewater. That way if you wanted to nick a boat, you would have to nick the canal
R Is that possible?
T Only with the correct security clearance
C And our dedicated boat crew: We have the only crew of dedicated boat men in the country, and they are so inefficient
T The boats will be totally secure!
C I mean the chance of a government team being efficient...
T Your other questions?
R How will the people get into the city?
C Well luckily there is a massive network of water ways in Manchester and Salford.
T Even some of them underground, if you don’t like people
C So obviously they will be crewed by Salford City Councilors: I mean there is little else for them to do all day!
T The Lowry slave galleys can only use some of the persistent councilors. The New boys are not suitable, only for light slave Labour!
R So you will set up a fleet of tethered boat ships, to serve as doss houses for the rich city works.
C Indeed, rowed in each day by Salford City councilors.
All of a sudden you will turn this stretch of underused water into a perfect place for people to have a worker’s flat.
R But what about Sir Alex?
T Sir Alex? Who’s he.
R Sir Alex Ferguson –runs the most successful domino league in the North West!
Every morning he goes out for his daily jog on the ship canal. He doesn’t so much walk on water…
T as runs on the canal? Now that is a pair of Speedos.
R If you have a cluster of ships on the ship canal, you can’t have working boats using the canal, and allow Sir Alex to keep fit!
C Ah. Hadn’t thought of that one! Tina, any ideas?
T Well there are no working boats now, and we could encourage the boat owners to a sell viewing tickets, so people could watch.
C Is he decent? Is he family viewing?
T Ah I see.
R Sir Alex is totally cent, though he does wear the shirt from his time on the Scottish darks league.
C Problem solved! We have a whip around to buy him a new shirt, and the boat owners will generate an income from their houses!
It is all coming together!
T Just a pity this is only a cover job to hide your real identity as ‘No Where Man!’
C Indeed. The ‘Man who does nothing, and doesn’t actually exist’!

Swinton Plague


The clothing manufacturers of Salford got the plague from flees on cloth imported from London. The Salford Plague Pit was located where the Swinton Civic centre now is! So nothing changes!

Tudor Mary


I got my photos back, and Walter says this is probably Tudor Mary, one of the five ghosts at Ordsall Hall, Salford.

AIDs


This was partially inspired by a couple of PhD students from Cambridge, I met when they were on honeymoon in Tenerife. He was studying chemokines, when I was thinking about cytokines and cancer.
An old idea was that HIV made IL-4 on its own – with no IL-2 or IL-1+. I was wrong! After I met the Cambridge students I learned that HIV made three chemokines, that normally are produced in response to IL-4.
The difference is the feedback – my area of expertise. IL-4 causes the APCs to produce the active antibody, and enough IL-2 to action it.
Chemokines make the antibody with no IL-2, only the usually suppressive IL-10. This is what causes AIDs!
So if somebody is HIV+, we give them a drip of IL-2, at the level of a person getting better from an infection, even with the aid of fungal antibiotics.
The latter cause the immune system to produce the activer antibody, even to viruses! So fungal antibiotics help cure human viral infections – it is all due to the feedback system of the immune system: Which is positive, and very powerful.
With full AIDs, there is loads of the active antiviral in the blood, but it is dropped by the T cells, and never loaded on the macrophages. That is what the externally applied IL-2 will do: And cure AIDs, and remove all HIV infected cells from the body.
If some body is HIV-, we can spike the immune system: We take blood samples, and get at the active antiviral.
We give this in pill form, with no IL-10! The body will make IL-2 and IL-4, and we cure the infection totally!
And all this stuff is in the books! What medics needed was some stuff on systems work – which is my M.Eng.!
I am sorry I did no come to Cambridge: I was cleaver enough, and my sister and father in law got first in medicine from Kings. But I had no interest.
My head injury changed all that! A drip of IL-4+ will fix head injuries, and I am so interested in.
Polly has my cancer work, which will stand on its own. No way should I be in Salford singing on stage, and editing three internet blogs! What a waste.

Wizards


Seem to have been about in the Middle Ages, when there is little written history. If you time travel, you can’t alter anything! But if it is not recorded, who is to say what happened! You are free to change it.
Wizards talked remotely. With the mobile telephone, we all do this now! We receive and send calls from little handsets! Dressing one up in a crystal ball would be easy.
Come to think of it, crystal balls seem to have been computer terminals! With no input devices. Great way to get information around! You would need dedicated, focused IT. Which you also need for the phone system in prehistory.
Then you have people vanishing. If you had their picture on an LCD display terminal, and you would turn it off – that would work.
Either the time of magicians was a time of modern time travelers, or we just live in a time of real music.
No jokes: Serious. Hello ‘Wizard Smith’!

The Haunted Hall

Salford has a Tudor Hall- complete with ghosts
