My name is Maurice Saatchi. And not many people know that you know.

Saatchi is a Shakespeare derivative

Just been watching School of Saatchi episodes, got one to go, and it's all well and good for those of us who don't like to pretend that art is politics or is somehow more revolutionary than revolution, in other words, since its emergence not too long ago in history, a few hundred years ago, all art has been Bourgeois Art, and it still is, which is not saying it doesn't act with the breaks at, or near, the top, but if we were to look at this in another way, and I'm not saying we need to, then are there not times in history too when artists, following like they do, but in a leading kind of way, and not far behind the real radicals, align themselves to that new or latent potential order, for example between the 16th and 17th centuries in England didn't the most creative, unconsciously or openly, make work which reflected the concerns and excitements of the dangerous undercurrent of that period, the merchants, the traders, the individualists, whether they really wanted to or not?

A snap of the editor, twiddling thumbs...

Meanwhile, at the office of the set...

A poem to be remembered retrospectively

Not ideal this, imagination.
Grasping earthly things of "humanism".
We can speak of reality,
.."Well, you might think so, but in reality I think you'll find that things are quite different"
-"What makes you think that? I think these thoughts, I am real, does it not follow that my thoughts are also."
"Well, yes"
-"So what I think...
"Let me finish! What you think is of the world, yes and in that sense there may be a germ of truth in it, but it is not in the world. - Thought is not a thing"
-"Is a thing a thought?"

Not idle, imagination this.

Seven and a half hours for redemption

A poem to commemorate the presenting of 'No Simpsons This' to the central commitee of The Set.

Double kick left
Double the distance
Each kick covers a different length

Now it's getting hard
Three points down

No Simpsons This

No Simpsons This,
A poem, presented to the set on the occasion of entering the waiting room for tiktoc four. The alternative is a dog earred 'Bella' and a copy of 'Radio Times' with Gary Bushell occupying the front cover. tiktoc. nitnit.knitknit.knitnot.crossstitich? no just cross

Toasted on both sides
Systems Theory/ Talcott Parsons
The ritual of academic execution
The lady plinth

"Labour will lose the next general election because they have spent 12 years cosying up to the business fraternity by moving into the centre, they will take 20 years to regain their rightful place on the left. The very place which, without any irony intended, they left in 1997."

Our tiktoc, who art in cyberspace
symbolic be thy name.
Thy copies come,
fifty will be done,

Give us this day our fourthly tiktoc
And forgive us our misconceptions
as we forgive those who print against us.
And lead us not into reproduction
but deliver us from lulu.
For thine is the tiktoc, the poesis and the glory. for ever and ever. lulu

First Things Fist

I feel like an anxious schoolboy at the worst of the times, but today my anxiety is thirsty for freshly printed matter. I desire it so much, for tiktocfour to be here in its yellow brilliance, to be in my hand this very minute. No, this very minute My bank balance attests to the idea that it will come. It will, won't it? Sniff, sniff...Perhaps I should ask why I am so anxious? Maybe I am proud of the 'work' I have done? But what in this instance is proudful about performing a 'desktop publishing function', the role of the automatic 'junior designer', I have received the training to perform these tasks to an upper second class degree level, ergo anxiety? Why anxiety over skill, or talent? As the monkey puts the cube in the square, I am able to left align. Always with apologies to Eric and Bob Gill. Pent up not pent a gram. All the tools, or a variation on the tools are in my bindle, given a brief brief and a dead deadline and three weeks to complete and what sets forth is a treading of sorts - over mishapen platforms and attitudes. Away in the office infront of Llangranog cup stained with never near enough washing, bankers lamp; for fallen posterity, a roll of sellotape nearing the end of its life, the hand print of a two year old, a chicken box filled with glass, bottletops and yellow plastic. Amongst all this, with the duracell batteries and a sheet from cafe cadeia on the wall, I play out the role. I join forces with former selves. There is no one looking over shoulders, drop shadow. As designers leave, I enter. To climb mountains and visit archival hotspots, to pretend. To enjoy the fruits of talent. Complicitly with the agenda that asks for collusion. Colluded, happy. Comedy events horizontal, idleness and books when bothered, too tired for projects of their own - They have turned off all the working equipment in their intellects and left me hunched with the hologram of Sophie Scholl emblazened on my torso, for I work naked. With my clothes on. Naked for without this barren wasteland, 'this desert of the real', we cannot do nothing. Maybe it is this that makes me anxious? I am not incorporated. What price ideology if there is but one way. The unskilled presents as chip shop board fancier, never bruce mao - never celebrate but always aware of vulvas sucking, searching through seas of norms and laws and values and tastes and adjustments in an unhinged, unknowing vernacular. Graphic Design, ken Garlanded. Forty Years ago it ended for Pity, naivity, asking the perennial queations, the return of youth. And the resulting answer: The First Things First.

Out in the country I met a
fellow who had recently met a fascist.
The fascist said that The Holocaust never happened.
So this fellow beat him up.
And whispered into his ear:
"That never happened either"
