OMG. I’ve NEVER watched Kiss Me, Kate but knew that it was based on The Taming of the Shrew. Another Cole Porter song? I’m having a DIM as Slow as Stupid Day today :o( Can I blame lack of sleep and being cold to the marrow ? Please ?

No Apologies – except to my kids! I watched this video a couple of weeks back, described it and promised to cook it soon. Ooops. Got side-tracked by puppy dog :o( Anyhoo. I’ve done pulled pork many times in the Aga (Rayburn.) Once I put it in the bottom plate warmer overnight with a little […]

We’re All Doomed

My favourite character in Dad’s Army has always been Frazer the dour Scottish undertaker. John Laurie played him to the hilt and beyond. If you’ve never watched Dad’s Army, may I humbly recommend it as one of those timeless classics ? Here is Frazer – the quintessential Celt – who tells a Grand Wee Story. […]

DOOM or Destiny?

Hecate is the goddess of the crossroads. She gives us all a choice. Backwards? Left? Right? Forwards? I’m going forwards. It’s sad. I’ve known for a long time now that Ravens of Dinefwr will never be completed. I will NEVER be able to tell my version of the story about the only woman EVER beheaded […]

The above are not MY words. I wish I had the wisdom and the knowledge to write such things. I’ve always leaned more towards Carl Gustav than Sigmund. So has the author of this piece, methinks.

33 or 3 minutes 30 seconds is ALL I needed. I’ve been the person asking the questions across the desk and heard the “stories.” Asking a question that requires just a Yes or No answer is VERY instructive. If you get more than one word from them…….they’ll be doomed by their own eloquence. Interview Technique […]

This is the very first Jordan Peterson video that I have EVER watched. God’s Honest TRUTH! It rang such a cracked for whom the bell tolls though. Tricksters abound. So do Psychos. Put THAT were it applies :o) P.S. Love the Marx Brothers!
