Laconic : I’ve Been Called Worse :o)

Laconic wasn’t actually used. Verbatim Quote : You are using much fewer words in your old age. My Reply : Just cutting out the BS. Waste of time and energy. Words. Words. Words as Hamlet said. Slime in this ear. Slime in that ear. As Edward Elizabeth Hitler said. Oh. No apologies again for repeating […]

Another Road Trip in the Diary aka My Head.

Himself has been working by here today. Apparently, he’s taken tons of photos for me to look at. His best line was one stolen from Eddie and Ritchie in Bottom : There’s loads of pencil-tangles in here. Translated as PEN-tacles. Well, love. That’ll be why it’s called THE DEMON CHURCH. Yes?

An oft quoted line from this novel is […]

Telepathic Twins

And I quote : I hear you 25 hours a day. Not MY words. Joseph Mengele is a “fascinating/disgusting” person to research. Why was he SO OBSESSED with twins and telepathy? I’ve posted about the book above before. Yes. It’s fiction but it totally freaked me out. Telepathic Twins. Mengele. The Lion Tamer. Save it […]

Bottom + Ferris Wheel. Skirt. Bollocks!

I’ve NO control. I’m drugged up to the eyeballs on painkillers. Sleep Deprived. OK. The quote here about going back to Blighty. I have NO IDEA what it’s from but all I’m seeing is ICE COLD IN ALEX. A classic film. John Mills. Sylvia Syms. The last scene when they get through Africa and reach […]
