Welcome to Mordor

I have been to many great cities in Europe and America.

Take a look at the capital of The People’s Democratic (like they have a choice) Republic of Korea.

Just guess what the difference is between London, New York, Glasgow, Paris, Florence, Madrid, Barcelona, Prague, Budapest, Warsaw, Atlanta, Amsterdam or indeed even Stockport and Pyongyang is…

Nobody is there. That’s the difference. Apart from party flunkies natch.

Oh hell, here’s the whole thing that inspired this…

In hearty response to the WPK’s call for bringing about a radical turn in the improvement of the people’s living standard by giving another impetus to light industry and agriculture this year in honour of the 65th anniversary of the WPK, light industry, agriculture and all other sectors of the national economy set to and gained innovative achievements.

The workers of the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex, who, in response to the Party’s call, sent a letter titled “All out for the improvement of the people’s living standard!” to all other workers across the country, took the lead in the endeavour for a great upsurge; they installed and put into operation a curved-type continuous ingot-moulding machine, and then established a Juche-oriented iron production system based on a high-speed reduction method. The February 8 Vinalon Complex began to mass-produce vinalon; the Namhung Youth Chemical Complex began to produce fertilizer by means of anthracite gasification; the Taedonggang Combined Fruit Farm expanded its orchard area; the Songun Foundry was built at the Ryongsong Machine Complex; an e-library appeared at Kim Il Sung University; the Kaeson Youth Park was renovated; the Taegyedo tideland reclamation project was completed; and the Pyongyang Cornstarch Factory and other light industry factories were refashioned.

It sounds fucking awful. It’s from here. Unfortunately the DPRK website is playing silly buggers so I can’t give you a permalink as such. It’s a .com BTW. Ha bloody ha!

Here though is a picture of Dannii Minogue (for Sam - or his brother). Probs not safe for work,
danni_minogue51 which goes to show it ain’t all horrible East of Suez.

Frankie Vaughn is of course very illegal in the DPRK. Harriet Harman would love the place. Can we book her on a single? Please! She could get a job at the Pyongyang Cornstarch Factory. What we’d do with the rest of them (yes, iDave, that means you) is an exercise I leave to the reader but give me that reprehensible cunt Simon Hughes to myself for five minutes with a medium sized posidrive (which I can gladly supply) and it’s a job done. Yes, I’d get him to build an Ikea corner unit. I would you know for I is evil. And I’d hide the packet of screws!

Alas (re Ms Harman - has she divorced that pal of Silvio?) the DPRK is almost impossible to emigrate to.

    I heard Bill Berneke is subcontracting the printing of dollars out to the Nork counterfeiting department.

    So Namhung Youth Chemical Complex: is that youths making chemicals (cuz they were so impressed by Dear Leader they decided to disobey the UN laws on child labor and go to work), or chemicals for youths, or chemicals made by youths (watch it, the floor is kinda sticky in the production area) or has the Namhung Youth done something so great they need to be honored by having a chemical complex full of starving slave labor named after them?

    Oh, man. I could definitely put up with the daft name. Truly life is not fair. And me without so much as a warm smile in… well, longer than bears thinking about frankly.

    Sorry… something about North Korea?

    (PS. You deserve some kind of medal for resisting the temptation to head this post “Look at the Norks on that!”)

    No Sam, I never thought of it. I deserve the Idiots Cross.

    Are you sure that’s Dannii ?

    Looks like Gina Lollaboutalot to me, and it’s in black and white, going for the new film noir look is she?

    Cos when I knew her she had a mole on her… er yes well, cant mention where! But as you can see, it isn’t there now is it?

    The gorgeous, pouting black and white piece has a distinct ‘Harrison Marks’ look about her. For those not of a certain age Harrison Marks, around the late 50s early 60s, produced a series of mucky books, providing early wanking material, for young teen lads.

    If Harrison’s photo had offered more of a front elevation here, the second thing to have been noticed (after her tits) would have been that she didn’t have a fanny. None of his models did. Funny that.
