Read MoreREVENGE taken. Revenge served back :o) She is called Nemesis. Goddess of Revenge. And she will have her vengeance. In this lifetime or the next. Q : Am I talking about Me, Myself & I or ABuse? That is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous […]
Read MoreI 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! […]
Read MoreThat’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. It’s just a very heavy VERTICAL jigsaw puzzle. Nothing whatsoever to do with melted buildings/melted mortar. Have y’all […]
Read MoreThat’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 […]

Read MoreI’m beyond confused now. An annotation to Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus says this about Aaron the Moor aka Judas… Morian (Aaron’s) account of his previous relations with the “Queen of Mehrenland” and the conquest of that land BY The Romans. Several points. Aaron’s lover in the play is Tamora, Queen of the Goths. By her he […]
Read MoreWhat 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 […]
Read MoreOMG. 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 […]
Read MoreI’m inundated with onions. Enter our fave soup. The worst part is cutting the onions. I cry and SNEEZE. Lots :o) P.S. The best way to serve this is in a small cottage loaf.
