George Melly

The Economist writes:
.....but Mr Melly liked fishing for another reason. As a lifelong Surrealist, he was sure that the bizarre and marvellous lay in wait for him everywhere, and carried in his head a Surrealist motto, “the certainty of chance”. Chance might give him a fish with the next cast; and chance shaped his drifting, exuberant, deep-drinking life, from Stowe to the wartime navy to art-dealing to journalism on the Observer, through a rich cast of queens, hoodlums, sailors, old trouts, whores and martinets, until in 1974 the career of a risqué jazz singer finally hooked him for good.

Alan George Heywood Melly, jazzman and writer, was Britain's most outrageous jazz singer + a tranquil fisherman. Think for a moment. Certainity of chance might/should work in other faculties of life too, like finding a new gem deposit, flawless, near flawless diamonds, rubies, blue sapphires + other colored stones, good men + women, business partner (s) and so on.....by the way, I do believe in the certainty of chance.
