“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 video below had me scurrying to my shelves to disprove wiki info. Darn. St Bart’s WAS “founded” by a jester called Rahere. Henry I’s jester. As in Henry I, youngest son of William the Bastard Conqueror. OG Source RRAN 2 (Regesta regum anglo-normanorum) numbers 1794, 1795, 1943, 1761…and NO…these are NOT dates. Anyone who […]

That’s sad. No longer a Una/Mrs H :o( I’ve shamelessly nicked one of her best lines and quote it often. With additions. I’m NOT your housekeeper. You don’t bloody pay me, anyway. This role was (in my humble opinion) the best that the multi-talented actress ever played. A tribute to Una :o)

Or Hermes This “mysterious” sign has been used by merchants since AT LEAST the 1300’s But that’s just history. Who wants to know about anything that happened before the 18fiddies? Not MY audience :o)

RED LETTER DAY today. I had a lie-in. Then went into town because I wanted to, NOT because I had to. Lit the woodburner. Took up the knitting. Spent hours sat sitting watching Sherlock. NICE :o) I love all the Vatican Cameos Moments. It means…”Ooops. John. We’re in the shit again. Time to Get a […]

So – the writers of Sherlock did their research :o) I was taught this weapon. Inside and out. The bastard weapons instructor used to make us strip it down and reassemble it – behind our backs. But it did have MAJOR faults. It jammed regularly and wouldn’t fire. Also – for me personally – it […]
