“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.”
For a Belfast boy, his diction is PERFECT. No text needed. And If Any Blind as a Vampire Bat can compare THIS man with #that copycat man (who is as straight as Screw Y’all) ……. then SHE is psycho-socio………FAF Celt with a FAF fam history that is recorded by the written and oral ? And […]
I was watching this and the name Nellie Bly kept bugging me. Then I had an AHA! moment. Of course. Tut! By The Pricking of my Thumbs : Agatha Christie. There’s a character called Nellie Bligh. This Nellie in the video below was either Very Brave or Extremely Crazy (?!)

I am NOT and NEVER will be any THING’S Comic Relief. LOL at ME all you want. Diss…respect…miss…turb…troy (?)…comboblulate…. I am Lauren and her English Teacher. BOTH, together. At the same time. Read between the lines of Shakespeare and you will find a very articulate Scottish/Gobby /STFU Londoner with a HUGE attitude problem that WILL […]
OK. I might have some Italian DNA but beyond being polite and asking for food and drink, that’s the extent of my language skills. I understand the gist of this passage but had to look up a few words with the limited resources at my disposal. TRAMONTANA – All I could find was Northern Wind. […]
