“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.”
I’ve been sent back to Ancient Roman times to study this one! Yes. Well. I don’t, for a single minute, believe that the author of these 10 books was Augustus’ Town Planner way back when. I’d bet all the money I have (£5.45p) that this man was much nearer to the time of Leonardo da […]
I’ve not thought this through properly but…I’ll park a thought here because it’ll be easier for me find later on. I seem to have a brilliant knack for losing notebooks :o) Thought. If New Chronology is even slightly close to being right about the claim that Henry VIII Tudor is a reflection of Ivan Grozny […]
OMGA! Ref : last post about photo shop…if you watch the video, around the 10 minute mark you get the Gabriel Báthory/Bethlen MurderMayhem story. As soon as I saw the name Battor on the image, my SpideySenses peaked. Yup. Gabriel was a member of the Ecsed Báthory family and thereby related to Báthory Erzsébet aka […]
I was always more of a Baconian than an Oxfordian but I’m a little better educated now. Dr. John Dee is a thousand times more fascinating than Bacon. And one of Dee’s most famous pupils was Edward de Vere. OK. Balancing, one-legged on a high fence here about THE AUTHORSHIP QUESTION but… …Dee is a […]
Bligh Bond Scrubbing the kitchen floor has aggravated an old shoulder injury so I’m back to the tippytappy computer with two fingers. More Numbers. More Ibuprofen. Less Confusion :o) P.S. There are so many places in the UK that I want to visit. GLASTONBURY is in my Top 3. From this historian’s POV I have […]
After Richard Burton comes Ken Bran. After KB is Michael Fassbender. Two films that I’ve seen with MF. Quentin Tarantino (hang on)……Inglorious Basterds. Was Michael the character who gave them all away with the 3 fingers? I need to rewatch. Also – After The Funeral with David Suchet as Poirot. Gimme a minute to recover […]
OhMyGiddyAunt. This is a F1RST for me. I am Christmas ORGANISED. How did that happen? I wasn’t even trying. All the frozen is defrosted. All the lukewarm is now cold. The sausage rolls are on standby. The pork is in the bottom aga for the next 6 or 7 hours. And… The wood burner has […]
It’s over a decade since I bought the Local Paper. But, I bought it today because a really good and wonderful friend of mine is on the front page. My NZ Emu! I flicked through all (a few) pages and was STUNNED to see the article above. High Toynton is about a 5 minute drive […]
OK. Stranger things HAVE happened to me but…! Talking about food. The image above is the sorry state of my more than 30 years old Delia Smith Cookbook. WellUsed.com! Delia (famous UK cook) is also the owner (?) or at least part owner of Norwich City Football Club. Y’all’ll know that Norwich is the birthplace […]
Grrrrr! He did it again. Talking about songs that I LOVE , we were, and all I said was Handbags and Gladrags by.……pause……………… brain ticking over. I got given within half a second – Stereophonics, Mother. That’s ME told :o( Lyrics then Live. Or maybe not :o)
