“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.”
The above was supposedly written in the 12th/13th century (take your pick!) The below was DEFINITELY written in the 21st century. EURUS’ SONG I that am lost, oh who will find me?Deep down below the old beech tree.Help succour me now the east winds blow.Sixteen by six, brother, and under we go! Be not afraid […]
I’ve worked in Dress Shops…when I needed to earn money! Every week the Very Qualified Window Dresser would come in to change the window display. SHE was always The One that was treated with Respect! BFF worked in Harrods when she was 17/18 years old. I’d meet her there, often, as she finished her shift. […]
…putting together a hugely important un-never-before-together-put-historical-link AND I get into a conversation about music. How it turned from a major Trance Festival in Belgium to Barry Manilow to Only Fools and Horses is a Very Long Story. An hour later – I remember the song that Del Boy was singing. Gawd, I’m slow today :o( […]
I have only had one mentor in my entire life. She was a beautiful American woman….who took the piss outta me something chronic! But she’d always qualify with – I’ve done that/Did that way before you were born/Did that too many times/LOL. Like the time I was stunned when she recommended one her MENTORS to […]
No matter WHAT! Wiki : 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull Wiki : Computer says NO! We were already in a hotel right beside Heathrow (because of an early morning flight) when this happened and we woke up to the news. What? But? It took about 5 hours to organise everything. No plane? We can drive. We […]
Laura is the name of BFF’s cousin. I’ve spoken about the time we stayed in her house in London. She’s the restaurateur married to the actor. And in a strange AS STRANGE twist of truth….the home that BFF and I stayed in aged 17, when/where I first drank Earl Grey Tea, was Laura’s Mum’s home. […]
Or Hi-Git if you’re in the know. A place that I WANT to visit. NOW! Those Victorian Tombs/Monuments/Gravestones are a whole study in and of themselves. WhereTFluff did they come from? I was watching the video below about Highgate….and it reminded me of one of the MOST famous graves there!!!!! Which reminded me of the […]
‘ang on, peeps! Checking……………Yup. It’s Tuesday. My heartfelt thanks to Bojo for his latest BS TV BS. I feel soooooo safe and uncontamin- a- mated now, love :o)
Everything collapsed in MY world when Highbury was demolished and the home ground (at the cost of gazillions) became The Emirates Stadium. And then………and THEN ….the Professor aka M. Wenger was replaced too. OMG. How I used to LOVE watching the old Arsenal vs Chelsea matches. Dennis Wise vs Patrick Vieira. Sigh :o)
I came across this….”place of execution”….many, MANY times in my research. It always creeped me out. Even more than Tyburn in London. YukiPoodia : Gibet de Montfaucon Make the connections? There is also a very bizarre connection to Villon (French poet) and Montfaucon. I’ll leave THAT one for y’all to find out :o)
I am not a fan of the Tube. Never have been. Nor the Métro. Both of which I have travelled on. But this video has been on my mind for a while and a re-watch has reminded me of a weird theory (?!) that I have. If you watch this/and if you’ve ever been on […]
The emails that I’ve received recently asking for the “secret” password for something that is NOT secretly password protected have made me LOL even louder than I LOLed at this CLASSIC :o) P.S. MSM said that Spike Milligan blew the raspberries. In FACT it was David Jason !
