Walter Mitty World ?

I am SO LOVING THIS. Been there. Done that. There are Talkers and wannabes and then there are ROYAL MARINE COMMANDOS. My Haiti story? Himself was there a year. Protecting the Prez. His best mate had to get Casi-Vacced to Florida. Something to do with working every day on the streets with dead boodies. FACT! […]

Dry Stane Walling

That’s how I have always known it. stone stane in British English (steɪn ) noun. a Scot word for stone. The UK & Ireland are FAMOUS for their Dry Stane Walls. Even I know how to build one.

Targ(e)& Skean Dhu & Claymore & Mutton Pie

That’s all I need :o) We used to be able to buy Scotch (Mutton) Pies here but, sadly, no longer. They taste better up there, anyhoo. Many a time me and Lily (Nan) would stroll into town to pick up her messages (go shopping in English) and come home with freshly made floury baps and […]

Cilice Strap

I watched a video this morning and the first thing that I noticed in the painting was the Centurion’s left thigh. It just struck me as strange. What if this was a Cilice Strap? But then – why would Veronese paint it into a 16th century portrait? Apparently, allegedly, so the media says, modern day […]

Several points. Aaron’s lover in the play is Tamora, Queen of the Goths. By her he […]

What Is The Meaning of Karma Chameleon?

What is the meaning behind ‘Karma Chameleon’? Boy George once explained about the song: “The song is about the terrible fear of alienation that people have, the fear of standing up for one thing. “It’s about trying to suck up to everybody. Basically, if you aren’t true, if you don’t act like you feel, then […]

Dumas : The Count of Monte Cristo

OMG. It is so long since I read this. Like decades. All I remember is that I’d stop and re-read certain sentences. I think, though I could be impossibly wrong, that Dumas was 3 quarters black. His father was half black, a bastard and from Haiti. His grandmother full, from Africa. Whatever. If you ever […]
