I did a guided tour of the Vatican but there wasn’t enough time to go to the Castel, just down the road. Which was quite annoying because Giordano Bruno – my fave Italian – was imprisoned there. Anyhoo – look at the image above. Vatican vs Batu Khan. Batu Khan was the brother of Genghis […]
The original book had a different title. That was the book that I read and what I know it as. U N Owen was just one person against several in the book. One person executing man’s justice for their sins. Today there are several people executing man’s justice against one person who is fighting for […]

Say what you like about Boy George. He was born different. Some of us were. FACT! I remember my Dad’s reaction when Culture Club first appeared on Top of the Pops. What is that? He demanded. I can overlook everything about the BS surrounding George. It always was, is and evermore shall be HIS VOICE. […]
OK. Well over two years ago I mentioned the Waterlogue app on a certain yt “truther” channel, in connection with these old etchings that they’ve all been studying – like – forever. I got dissed. And then banned. Now Jon Levi is bringing all this back again. OK. Better late than never, I guess. I […]
Try a Scottish Bap. I bought 4 for £1 this morning. They are False, Fake and Phoney but eldest LOVES them. I’ve travelled across the Forth Rail Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge many times. Whenever we took a train over the rail bridge it was custom to throw a penny out of the window. […]
Nightmares R Me lately. Always about rejection. Always about my parents and my family and my friends totes turning their backs on me. I never had these nightmares until 3 years ago.
