trying to sort
Something out of which messy initial state I’ve at least been trying to see if I could sort out and turn into a proper piece.

Reliable
A generally reliable insider, embedded within the very guts of the entertainment industrial complex, has revealed that the Corporate Whore franchise has begun working on a new series, a perhaps more cerebral affair than we are used to, and appealing perhaps more to the intellectuals amongst us, titled: Corporate Whores Embark on a Career in Journalism and Discover that the Far Right is Everywhere.

Secret Army
I recently watched on YouTube the Colditz tv series from the early 1970s, based on, at least somewhat, the book of that name by P.R. Reid, centred on the Colditz prisoner of war camp during World War Two, specifically used to house Allied military, particularly given to escaping from prisoner of war camps! As said, it is an excellent series, and especially brilliant and sensitive is the performance of an actor Bernard Hepton, who plays the German commandant in charge of Colditz.
Well, in the back of that and some viewwpers’ comments, I checked out another series from the same BBC production team (back when the BBC could better justify its existence) called Secret Army, based again, at least loosely on truth, and this time focused on a Belgian resistance movement in that war, helping return Allied airmen to the United Kingdom. The fact that Bernard Hepton again is central meant it was at least worth checking out, and allowing it some leeway for a pretty humble budget and minor flaws, I thought overall it was really superb and addictive. The final series of three, is like Colditz, a bit of a diminishing in standards, especially with the sidelining of Bernard Hepton due to other acting commitments, but anyway, below is a link to the series.
Though dating to the late 1970s, it seems to be a surprisingly active target for the copyright police on YouTube, so this is the means I thankfully found to watch the series:

Something from last night I’m trying to sort into a satisfactory state - which is easier said than done.

Wine
A man was invited to a party, and so there he went bringing with him a really excellent wine. Upon arriving he was greeted and was asked to pour the wine into a bucket along with all the wines other guests had brought along also. However he shocked everyone by declining, and so he instead he left.

Leave
I don’t know whether I’ll leave this quick piece as is or add it to it - and take the chance of ruining it - but here it is anyway.

Credence
I’m not sure how much credence to afford rumours that have just emerged from the entertainment industrial complex, but people are saying - and not just any people - that the next emanation from the Corporate Whore franchise will be a series titled Corporate Whores Dissolve into the Mists of Eternity.
The idea of anyone, and particularly corporate whores in the entertainment industry, wishing to leave this heavenly realm and dissolve into some eternal mists does strike a jarring note, and so I believe it is wise to be sceptical about the truth of this alleged series until it does achieve tangible and undeniable form in this real world.
