When I worked for Penguin Books in the UK, I used to play in a Publisher’s Softball League and I wondered if the mafia have a similar setup… Also available are some of the teams that play in this imagined league: The New Jersey Hitmen / The New England Extortionists / The San Fransisco Bootleggers /

“Don’t You Want Me” by the Human League is a conflicting male/female duet with the subject of jealousy and sexual obsession as the main theme. Its pop style has often led to a misinterpretion that it is a love song. The male part of the song is a svengali figure who turns a female waitress into a ‘star’, who then subsequently leaves him once she has obtained fame. Released in the UK on 5 December 1981 it went almost immediately to number one and remained in the UK charts for 13 weeks, and was Christmas number of that year. The single went on to sell 1.4 million copies in the UK and is the 25th most successful UK single of all time.

Royal polskiej Ligi Połączenie fal łodzią wody rowers. / Don’t even think you have to sign on for a seven year stint in the Polish Navy to get your hands on one of these exclusive Royal Polish League of Surf Boat Rowers t-shirts. / They are only available in Polish Red (unless you would prefer another colour; in which case, go for your life). What is the connection between the Polish Navy and Australian surf boat rowing, I hear you ask. Well… .... Shortly after peace broke out in 1918, two Polish sailors, Jan and Juc (their last names are not recorded) deserted after their destroyer ran aground on the Vistula Spit near Gdansk, in the Baltic Sea. / They hitch-hiked south to the Mediterranean and joined a fetta boat on its maiden voyage from Koroni, a town on the southwest peninsula of the Peloponnese on the Gulf of Messina to Australia. They jumped ship at Melbourne, headed for the surf coast and, after crossing Spring Creek at Torquay, decided to establish a village. The reason? Jan and Juc figured they could make a living out of building four-oared fishing boats with a similar number of slippery panels for gutting fish. / They discovered the need for a fifth crew member, one at the back who could wield a bigger oar and had a very expressive face. This was necessary because the other crew members could not see where they were going and relied on the fifth oarsman to tell them. But the waves were often so big where Jan and Juc had made their new home that the fifth oarsman was often struck dumb with fright. His appearance could sweep radidly from serenity to sheer panic, thus making the decision on bailing out or staying with the ship a little easier. It took some time for Jan and Juc to find the person most suited to this sweeping task. They finally selected a real champion, a Scottish leatherworker who operated a tannery on a nearby hill. / It soon became tradition that only the biggest people on the beach could be selected to row these magnificent machines. The smaller (and smarter) people were selected to guard other beach goers from FGWS (a breed of shark) and other dangers of the beach. / Right… where was I going with this? / Yep, that’s right: anyway Jan and Juc became very successful at building and racing these new boats and decided to visit their homeland and show their family and friends what they had achieved. / They returned home, formed the Royal polskiej Ligi Połączenie fal łodzią wody rowers and were hailed as heroes of the state. / Unfortunately, Jan and Juc were recognised for what they really were: deserters from the Polish Navy. / Because we feel such an affinity with Jan and Juc, all profits from the sale of these shirts will go to funding my trip to Poland to protest their innocence, vouch for their good behaviour and plead for their speedy return to the town they founded. / Anyone who has further information about Jan and Juc may like to contact me at janjuc@gmail.com. I’d love to publish any additional information about these two rascals. This just in from a Scottish reader who claims his name is Lachlan McWalensa:: / “Hello comrade. I knew Jan and Juc from short time I spent in Gdansk Correction Facility. Although Jan denies it, Juc telled me he (Jan) was really first man to surf what he called Bellsabeecha. Is true?! He telled me so!! Solid brother!!”

Emmeline Pankhurst was one of the founders of the British Suffragette movement. It is the name of Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst, more than any other, which is associated with the struggle for votes for women in the period immediately preceding World War I. She was born Emmeline Goulden in Manchester, England, in 1857 and married Richard Marsden Pankhurst, a barrister, in 1879. Mr Pankhurst was already a supporter of the women’s suffrage movement, and had been the author of the Married Women’s Property Acts of 1870 and 1882. In 1889, Mrs Pankhurst founded the Women’s Franchise League, but her campaign was not interrupted by her husband’s death in 1898. In 1903 she founded the better-known Women’s Social and Political Union, a militant movement whose members included the notorious Annie Kenney, the suffragette “martyr”, Emily Davison and the composer, Dame Ethel Smyth. She was joined in the movement by her daughters, Christabel and Sylvia, both of whom would make a substantial contribution to the campaign in different ways. Mrs Pankhurst’s tactics for drawing attention to the movement succeeded in getting her imprisoned several times, but, because of her high profile, she did not endure the same privations as many of her fellow suffragettes (though she did experience force-feeding after going on hunger strike). Her approach to the campaign did not endear her to everyone, and there were splits within the movement as a result. Her autobiography, My Own Story, was published in 1914. She died in 1928, having achieved the majority of her goals: the right to vote for women in the United Kingdom.
