“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.”
Whilst researching an academic paper titled “The Books of Secrets…” the very last person that I expected to come across was Samuel Taylor Coleridge. In Xanadu did Kubla KhanA stately pleasure-dome decree:Where Alph, the sacred river, ranThrough caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. It’s confusing. Is this “subterranean bloodline” DEMONIC or UNACKNOWLEDGED? Does […]
That will be the one who refuses to “people please.” The one who will NEVER kiss a behind and wait for that patronising tap on the head. The one who will CHALLENGE the status quo. The one who will never pull punches and is perfectly capable of hitting below the belt when needs must. The […]
“This World” is Riven (violently divided?) by Banal and Unoriginal Statements. Like : “I am in this world but not of it.” THIS WORLD? What world. Not MY world!!! “We are in this together.” Nope. We are NOT! If you can’t find YOUR path then you are a sheep/follower/servant/parrot. So. STAY in your own world […]
To my completely squigglyed brain – both of the above phrases come from Malignant Narcs. Let Them Eat Cake = Stupid Peasants are only worth the crumbs from MY Black Forest Gateau. Have Your Cake & Eat IT = I’ve got sweet honey cake here, chocolate cake there, lots of cream cake everywhere. It’ll just […]
My house is heated via my best friend. The oil-fired Rayburn in the kitchen. It cooks amazing meals, gives 24/7 Boiling Hot Water but there are faults. #1 – The price of oil goes up and down and down and up. We have a 1000 litre oil tank and can usually only afford 500 litres […]
This is a Personal Opinion, OK ! I don’t do BOATS. I DON’T do Seafood but I like the idea of Three Men in/on/off a Boat. Especially 3 men who are true friends and can get away with murdering each other every couple of minutes as opposed to kissing each others’ egos every other second […]
I’ve done this in my Dad’s hometown in Scotland with whatisname (my much loved brother – btw I LOVE both of my brothers but younger one was sunning himself on a Navy Ship in the Caribbean or SE Asia or the Med !) and our Auntie Christine, who was married to Dad’s younger brother for […]
Talking to my brother the other day TRULY opened my eyes. We got on to his 18 year old daughter. My niece. Both her parents were HMForces and are trying to guide her that way. She is ALL History and Textiles and Psychology. Even whatisname Brother admitted that me that my stunning niece MUST get […]
I don’t care either way but…and this is the truth…I had NO IDEA that Gordon Ramsay was Scottish. A couple of days ago a member of my fam said – “Well. He is a Scot. No wonder he’s so angry all the time.” But he talks like a Poncy English Dude. Oh. Erm. Much like […]
By some strange co-inky-dink my boys and their mates were taken paintballing one day by Himself. What none of them knew was that this bunch of scroty teenagers were battling a team of the most FAMOUS Premiership Football Referees! Himself – on the side lines – kept saying, I know that face. And that one. […]
I’d like to say that I am a Curry Expert – but I am NOT! Though – I did grow up with Chinese and Indian food. I’ve eaten the former in the Far East and the latter in the Middle East. As well as my Mum’s and my m-i-l’s homemade from scratch Curry. One Chinese, […]
