....what else? i need to tidy up those notes on 'rafi' for the CID etc etc because there are a few more things to add...or should i say 'ravi' nowadays?....because i can remember asking browne, at college..."like ravi shankar?" (a reference to the beatles and their connection to a famous indian musician)....to which she replied "no..." - even so, 'rafi' had been chosen to be a stand-in for dabydeen who was of 'indian indentured slave' descent in guyana....go figure.

anyway, i can now remember that there were two 'stand-ins' for dabydeen during his sabbatical 1996/7....see previous notes....and i shall talk about the differences between them in sizes...large, medium, small....dabydeen (the tallest, big-boned, chubby, muscular), rafi (shorter, medium-boned...prone to fat - massive potbelly, a bit like a 6 month pregnancy - even at sixth form college and he still had that huge protruberance, at warwick 1996/7 - and by contrast, rather thin arms and legs), and the third one...?

...well he had looked a bit like rafi, facially - rather than dabydeen...he was small-boned...and really very, very short, indeed - even shorter than 'rafi'....although not an actual dwarf...'petit', let us say.

...and what were the similarities, you might ask? between all three....well, they all had thickish, almost shoulder-length, glossy, dark wavy hair...and they all wore a 'tight' red jumper over 'tight' black trousers....(something dabydeen used to do at the handsworth centre)....and they all looked a bit 'ethnic' if you know what i mean..."not from over here" replies BI ONLINE...well, the funny thing is that rafi always 'fitted in' at sixth form, in relation to appearance...."whilst scaring the living daylights out of everybody"....yes, that too....he had what you would describe as 'white' skin....although i don't want to talk about skin colour, here...or for that matter 'eye colour'....because the two can be faked.....fake tan, for example...or 'coloured eye contact lens'....although faking brown-to-blue is a lot harder than the other way round....suffice to say, rafi at 6th form college was considered to be 'white'...whereas dabydeen at the handsworth college - identified as 'black'....being a definite shade of natural 'brown' - if we are talking 'tans', here.

hmmm....'mr petit' had a dark tan....it might have been fake....being a bit 'patchy' you understand. Oh I remember now...'mr petit' had wanted to go 'as close as he could get' to dabydeen's skin tone....using a fake 'dark tan lotion' to do it.

oh i remember now...it's all coming back now...the footage of rafi and 'mr petit' in the bathroom....for some reason, they had wanted to have 'something' that they shared in common, which dabydeen didn't have...and they had decided upon the image of a 'plait'...having just been  visited by tilda swinton (who had had a very long plait, down her back - a light brown/auburn number)....their uber-MI6 programmer....see previous notes upon swinton-controlled-by-murray....

and so what had rafi and 'mr petit' done? they had taken quite a few strands of hair, from their respective hairlines, located at the napes of their necks...they had then bleached the hair 'yellowy/white'...dried it and then plaited it....resulting in a 'tiny blond plait' down the backs of their necks....which they then secured with a few 'coloured beads' to make it look 'ethnic' and 'tribal'.

....what else? well, when tomlinson asked me to write my thesis on derek jarman....which i then did, at warwick....jarman who had 'collaborated' extensively with swinton upon so many projects....well, it all becomes apparent, now - doesn't it?

"...an MI6 car" replies BI ONLINE...yes, rafi had driven one of those, hadn't he?...a 'silver dream-machine number'...rather like rimington...the CID have a photo of him getting into that sort of car, upon warwick campus 1996/7....go figure.

...what else? well, 'mr petit' had applied a somewhat patchy fake tan lotion, in order to make his own skin tone, darker..."to match dabydeen's"....oh and what about 'mr petit's consort-at-warwick?...his 'girlfriend' had reminded me somewhat of 'shami' for some reason (same sort of dress and short hairstyle etc etc - "same sort of rhetoric" replies MI6 ONLINE)...not that 'shami' fakes her skin colour (and i know, for a fact, that she doesn't) but anyway....the whole thing has come up as a clump...real skin tones, fake skin tones - real eye colour/fake eye colour etc etc...welcome to the world of spying - and of those who have had experience of 'the whole lot'....go figure.

OTHER NOTES:

what else?

Well, i was to watch TWELVE-IN-A-BOX last night....to remember sonia fisher joking about 'a box of frogs'....a 'joke' that would 'linger' upon the timer system, according to fisher....

...and this morning, i was to think....lynne franks - butcher's daughter...a 'joke' that lingers?

see previous notes upon miranda hart's resemblance to lynne franks....and what franks-the-butcher's-daughter had done to those, at green tower....go figure.

anyway, 12-in-a-box appeared to have a similar theme, to another movie...that i was to find on the ELAN online catalogue (essex libraries)...a movie entitled NEVER LET ME GO....

...what else? well, in terms of movies...i was to reserve quite a few, upon the elan online system, this morning....including THE PIRATES!....which i was to figure - was something to do with...no, not just 'something' but definitely to do with the way in which bobby's mob and my immediate/extended family, have been acting and for the last...let me see......difficult to put a time span upon it....for the last X amount of years...go figure.

OTHER NOTES:
...what else? well, upon the MIRANDA HART dvd....there were a couple of trailers for the following films:

FORGET ME NOT
A THOUSAND KISSES DEEP

....and i was struck by how the main protagonists....the main male and female actors....were to look so similar, visually....despite a few 'colour' changes' in relation to hair etc....i then wondered if it was all about the same film/script/plot, basically 're-shot'...and then realised that it was a 'joke-on-the-system'....along the lines of "do you want the pretty version - or the 'not pretty' version?"....see previous notes - go figure.
