'kin'ell!

If I had had a son I was gonna call him Merlin..................true

@jhado
Where do you think Tris got his name from? Actually my mother named him as I had been toying with the name Merddyn which is Welsh for Merlin....so Tristan got Tristan Arthur instead!
Just as well he was a boy, he could have ended up as a Gwenevere Isolde Morgana!

Apparently someone switched the Northern Lights on in Manchester & much of the rest of the country last night.
Gutted I missed it.... hope it happens again tonight.

Right now? What is on my mind? The show I am watching, the post I am making, the news in the background, the business I work in, family, friends, the country, the planet, the solar system, the galaxy, the universe, the nature of existence, and the fact that the last time I had any kind of intimate physical contact with a member of the opposite sex was the twentieth of March last year. Those are the greatest hits.

There is more in there, but most of that is background fuzz, the noise from which conscious thought coalesces, the murk which keeps the source of all knowing and understanding isolated from examination, the part of the mind which science barely even comprehends the outer edges of.

About your avatar TB.......

Actually prolapsing from laughter right now! God, I love that show, and I never made the connection! No wonder I like the reversed negativity function on the iPad!

Why do we assume Humpty Dumpty was an egg?

He wasn't. It was allegedly a canon used by the Cavaliers (Kings Men) which smashed when a falling steeple, hit by Roundheads canon fire, knocked it off the battlements. Purportedly at the battle of Colchester



He, (it) first appeared as an egg in an illustration from the original Alice Through the Looking Glass.


But Lewis Carroll was a bit of a stoner tbf.

Tempest in a Tea Cup With Malice Aforethought:

Wars of the Roses Symbolism in Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland"

By Scott Warner

The White Queen advances one square (WQB 5) as does Alice (WQ 5) and Alice finds herself in a small dry goods shop run by a knitting ewe. Then they are magically transferred to a rowboat, mimicking Dodgson's outing with the Liddell children. After returning to the shop, the sheep moves to the rear of the store, signifying the White Queen's move to WKB 8. After purchasing an egg, Alice also advances to the next square, WQ 6. The egg begins to expand and becomes the Mother Goose character Humpty Dumpty precariously perched on a narrow wall. This may allude to the instability of the stuffed figureheads to which the Houses of Lancaster and York both resorted. Humpty treats Alice with the same disdain that the British upper classes treated the common populace. Alice wonders about the band around his neck (or waist) that could be a cravat or a belt. This band was an unbirthday present given to Humpty by the White King and Queen. If the band is judged to be a cravat, it could represent a common remedy for political conspirators: the hangman's noose. Dumpty discusses the fleetingness of glory and notes that the White King has promised an army of men and horses to effect repairs if he falls. This could refer to Warwick's exploits (both for and against Edward IV) or to those of the Earl of Clarence. Alice leaves Dumpty but doesn't go far before she hears a tremendous crash from behind. An army goes racing past in mass confusion, falling over one another. This represents the fatal carnage of great battles like Towton, Mortimer's Cross, Hexham and Tewkesbury.

No way you could write something like Alice whilst stoned. I have difficulty motivating myself to get to the toilet.

I'd 'eard though I'm not looking, that 'umpty was a paradoxical story that is used to heal the subconscious trauma that is experienced by infants at birth, thereafter.

It's meant to be soothing, yet a bit of an oucher for 'umpty.

I just saw this and remembered thinking it was amazing at the time.
Atari 1040 ftw!

Right - I was about to post on the Facilitator's Feedback Thread that and Justice For All is blatantly trolling on the Ukraine gas and guess who thread.

This feels like telling tales, but I thought I'd have a go at doing this rather than joining in in combat and making things worse.

But I've found that that's another of the threads that I can't access because of this glitch thing!

Thinking about personality disorders.
