“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
There are so many ancient or just old buildings in the UK that have Anchor Plates. This county (Lincolnshire) is rife with them. And even I (a stupid housewife) know that these are the outside decorative cast iron plates that hold cast iron bars/ties in place. Old buildings move and sometimes they have to be […]
A short lesson in how to think OUTSIDE THE BOX? I dunno. Virgin Birth? Divide and Conquer? Slimy Lizards, Invertebrates and LOWER Plants are the Origin of Species? I always thought that the BIG BANG was when male and female came together in pleasure to create a child. My Stupid :o)
Mr Woodward said in a live TV interview decades ago that he wanted his gravestone to bear the name – Fart in a Bath. EDWARDWOODWARD. The Wicker Man policeman in the previous video was played by Mr BubbleBath. Ditto the video below. P.S. GB May 2020 : Things You Should NEVER Do in a Bath […]
A wicker man was a large wicker statue reportedly used by the ancient Druids (priests of Celtic paganism) for sacrifice by burning it in effigy. The main evidence for this practice is one sentence in Julius Caesar’s Commentary on the Gallic war, which modern scholarship has linked to an earlier writer, Poseidonius. Modern archaeological research has not yielded much evidence of human sacrifice among the Celts, […]
When I’m asked to pick someone up from the Market Place at a stupidly early hour in the morning and they are 15 minutes late… …I sit on a bench in The High Street wearing my spotty, furry slippers and watching the birds on the buildings opposite. This is after going into the local newsagents […]
I’m peeved and miffed. MY Oliver (stolen name) has just been SORNed. We can’t afford the MOT or TAX. He’s tiny. A midget car. MY car. He is small and kinda purple and I can park him on a sixpence. P.S. The BIG car is called George. I have no idea why I call our […]
There are many people more qualified than me to quote the chapter and verse here but…. So the soldiers did these things, 25 but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. In my own research I completely agree with the four women. But […]
Hey. I can dumb down too :o) BTW : Katherine Swynford (buried in Lincoln Cathedral) had a sister called Philippa. Philippa married a man called Geoffrey Chaucer, who wrote something insubstantial and unimportant called The Canterbury Tales.
In its roots, the Arabic word mujahideen refers to any person performing jihad. In its post-classical meaning, jihad refers to an act that is spiritually comparable in reward to promoting Islam during the early 600s CE. These acts could be as simple as sharing a considerable amount of one’s income with the poor. TWISTED HISTORY. Didn’t Aha sing the theme toon? Back laters :o) […]
I remember saying to Leslie Kenton in a telephone conversation… YOU have mentors? She laughed at me. Something she did quite often but NEVER in an offensive way. She’d just given me the private phone number of one her mentors. Bless her. I’m thinking that Ken was a bit of a mentor to Tom. Shakespeare […]
