But there’s a side to youThat I never knew, never knewAll the things you’d sayThey were never true, never trueAnd the games […]

OK. I’m just cutting and pasting MY MainStream Historical Resources. I know NOTHING about this 1,000 and more year old quake, personally or professionally. In 1016, Jerusalem was afflicted by a severe earthquake; the letters help to determine the exact date of the event. Between 970 and 1030, Palestine was beset by battles; I have […]

We live close enough to Yorkshire to be surrounded by Yorkshire. Ooh. Ecky Thump. My brothers and I used to love these three crazy people in the 70’s. I still Laugh Out Loud at their utter sillynessless and total mindlessness. BTW : Black Pudding is an acquired taste, like haggis. A taste that I have […]

I’ve only seen this film once, when it first came out. But I’m feeling the need to watch it again. I am NO fan of that Aussie actress Kidcole Nicman but the story entranced me :o)

I’ve been forced back to my childhood. Hand Washing smalls in the sink. Nice timing washing machine. Break down right now. Hugh Laurie. Times 2

As Raquel, Del Boy’s “significant other” famously said. Is this what VenusRose meant when she kept saying that she HAD to go to Mars? She’s Got IT. Ooh, baby, She’s Got IT…I’m YOUR Venus. I’m Your Fire…..etc LMFAO :o) BOOM! Booyakasha

Vid about Vulgar Latin. I snuck into the Live Chat and commented VERNACULAR a couple of times. To disabuse the VULGAR V ibe. A vernacular, or vernacular language refers to the language or dialect that is spoken by people that are inhabiting a particular country or region. The vernacular is typically the native language, normally spoken informally rather than written, and […]

I grew up on all this stuff in books. Grimm. Hans Christian. J.M Barrie. A.A. Milne. Arthur Ransome. Enid Blyton etc Two swindlers arrive at the capital city of an emperor who spends lavishly on clothing at the expense of state matters. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are […]

I had three of these. The smallest one I sold to someone for £100 about 3 years ago. I’d grown each one from tiny to mahoosive. Apparently…so THEY say…the mahoosive ones can sell for about £500 on Gumtree online. Well. The 2 remaining ones I put in the yard outside the back door last year […]

Malcolm Tierney plays a great baddie. He was Charlie Gimbert in Lovejoy and Murron’s executioner in Braveheart. Outlawed Tunes on Outlawed Pipes. Welcome to MY World. P.S. I have this soundtrack on CD. Charlie with Murron tied to a stake ! Then the OUTLAWS. My history. Wild Nobility.

Absolute Truth…Shop Visit…Shop Song…Tommy Singing Tommy (a kind of half nemesis of mine) was singing along to Stereophonics in Co-op today as he served the customers. Two plus points. He has a good voice. He LOVES this band too. I look around at a beautiful lifeI’ve been the upper side of downBeen the inside of […]

Jock was my Dad’s nickname in the Royal Marines. Until we went to 45 Commando in Arbroath. Which was full of Jocks :o) Tony Osoba played the half white/half black illegitimate Scottish man called MacLaren in the wonderful TV show Porridge. He was Sunny Jock. But he met his match in the Cockney Fletch. Tony […]
