I wish Grasshoper a very happy birthday – May he continue to stick to his green guns – and continue to make his contrarian ripples felt to question the status quo.
Thank you Nathan for your fascinating and continuing deaf Jon disclosures.
On reflection
maybe sh!tting bricks was a bit harsh on deaf Jon
okay, yes, we can take a trip to somewhere quiet
but only if me old chum(p) Mr .P and his cardboard cut out Kate Bush can join the partyCharles Darwin to conquer the World
There would actually be four of you – and the Lake district is a green and wonderfully surprising place for friends to gather, and would accommodate all of your eight itching legs nicely, and with an open, pub-filled heart.
There’s a spectyacular waterfall at Aira Force where Mr P could wash Kate’s hair, and when it was fully rinsed and loustrous and catching some chance rays of sulight filtering through the chuckling trees, she might just start singing, and that would be a signal for you and deaf Jon to cough a bit, look around, as if you’ve noticed something moving in the undergrowth, whistle a couple of times, and then sneak away to Scafell Peak.
Take those roast beef sandwiches, having left the curled cheese ones for them – they may have other things on their minds.
You would need some leather boots and suitable attire depending on the season and the obligatory eighty year old guide book.
I would suggest some hot vegetable soup with ginger – he just might be there cos he knows things – when you all meet back, and possibly a game of skittles if you all have one ounce of energy left.
After the game is over, you might dim the lights and all compare notes of different versions of the days activities, and then as the yawns set in, and just before the crisp linen sheets close around you – pinch yourselves aa as four oversized lemon pufffs appear from nowhere, menacingly tapping their crumbling corners on the top floor latticed window of your crammed little bedroom. -Four long ropes curl down from the puffs to the publican and three three merry looking serving wenches below. Kate then turns and whispers to the suddenly rather concerned and slightly perspiring Mr P, something that rhymes with Wickerman !
I wonder if Ricky Lake would be the man behind the mask, that would make Pilsen perspire..

Ian Davies had a stalker on here and he suffered abuse which was unfair, in my opinion, but it was not ceaseless and it was within certain parameters and it was not a war.
I cannot remember what exactly happened to Pilsen, to cause his current absence and tbere is no RIP section for excluded members.
He exploded on here and was judged and was possibly terminated. It was all a messy business but think he shot himself in the foot.
Did you catch the deaf Jon videos, gamble, from a few years back.?

Incase you missed them, *the video may start half way through so you may need to take it back*
Charles Darwin to conquer the World
I had seem both clips before Nathan, but it was a great pleasure to revisit them and strangely, in the long break I had supplanted Jon’s head with that a man I have never met – who married and adopted a boy born in one of the french southern colonies. I had his passport and in my mind Jon’s regular features were replaced by a longer nose, sticky out ears, and heavily framed glasses that tended to tske over his face. He worked in insurance mostly his whole life and died at 91 a few months after his wife passed away fourteen years ago.
I am pleased to get Jon’s true face back. He seems to be accepting of Father’s errant behaviour and does not seem trapped in a trauma vortex – however early life experiences make a huge impression, and never really leave one totally -but having tbem properly filed is the important thing.
Jon is extremely good company and it was a great watch.
It was David Bellamy’s birthday yesterday he was 86. He lives on the backbone of Britain the Pennine way which might suit Pilsen ( full details of his demise have re-filled my mind) better than the Lakes.
I doubt Bellamy is still wummaging about in the undergwoth and whether like the late great trainer Henry Cecil, he’s now taken to nurturing a sinpler passion for the woses – we do not know bur might now guess.
Patrick Moore would look upwards spot a sun spot then turn to the camera and look CROSS. David would look downwards boom out “What bloomin marvellous MOSS” then look left and right and see two different coloured SOCKS !!!
I took my older brother Daniel to Cheltenham the year Long Run won the Gold Cup.
Daniel had Schizophrenia and although stable with his meds he was not at his best that day. He was sneezing every two minutes on the train and managed to clear the carriage such was his demeanour of saying loudly **** off after each sneeze.
We went into a cafe just off the station and it was like a portal cabin with a metal floor and stools to sit on that had metal legs. I ordered 1st and went and sat down at the one remaining table. My brother ordered but the table I was at was missing a chair, he spotted a spare stool the other side of the cafe but instead of picking it up and carrying it over he proceeded to drag it along the metal floor, it made one hell of a racket and everyone was looking over but he was oblivious to it….
He passed away 6 years ago today, just thought I write a little tale. This thread seemed an appropriate enough place.Charles Darwin to conquer the World
That’s a lovely tale about your brother Nathan, it made me smile. I think it hit a note as I have
a cousin who also has Schizophrenia. I’m very fond of him and he always looked up to me, “my big
cousin” he’d say when we met. He thought because of my profession at that time that I must have
been tough (never one of my strong points), he did weights obsessively….a weight belt and all
the accompanying equiptment which I probably couldn’t lift off the ground with both hands. None the
less, he liked to think of me as his big tough cousin, despite the fact he could have picked me up
and downed me without breaking sweat. A bit like your brother, he is well settled with his meds, but
there were times when he gets really high. When he was like that, he liked standing up, wherever he
was, raising his arms and loudly proclaiming “GOD IS HERE“. I’ve had a few odd looks,
but people in general realised the situation and would just give me a knowing nod. The other thing
that did put some people a little ill at ease, was that he has the most piercing stare that I’ve
ever seen, non blinking and totally focused. Anyone that knows him, knows he is a genuinely lovely
gentle man, for those that don’t know him you can maybe understand why they keep their heads down
and avoid eye contact lol
Your cousin sounds quite the character too BigG
Nice that he looks up to you, what job was it that made him think you were tough.?
funny that you should mention Weights and GOD as my younger brother Aaron has Bipolar disorder and he not so much now but years ago too was obsessive with weight lifting and his body. We have to keep an eye on him as he goes on daft diets and this tends to trigger an episode of his troubles along with him not taking his meds.
It must have been over 10 years ago as Mother was alive but I still remember it as if it was yesterday. We went up the Mental health hospital to visit him and Mother pointed to some chap and said that’s Aaron’s shirt he’s wearing, moments later I see someone wearing my brothers trousers, then the next person with Aaron’s trainers on. We get around the corner and my brother is stood there naked shouting “I’M THE CHOSEN ONE” anyway mother went mad and headed to the staff room and soon got it all sorted out to which upset my brother who proclaimed her to be mental.Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Lol Nathan.that’s another belter of a story. I can’t cap the clothes thing with my cuz, but
it reminds me a bit of an incident, which didn’t exactly involve clothes, but a set of false
teeth. My mother in law was quite ill, diagnosed with a brain tumour and unfortunately there
was nothing they could do about it. She moved from hospital into a respite type of small
hospital, which had many elderly people with various ailments. We arrived to see her one
afternoon, she was sitting on the bed, jaws clapped in and obviously no teeth in. My mom
in law always took pride in her appearance, so we knew something wasn’t right, she would
never go without her falsers except when going to bed. “Where’s your teeth” we asked her,
she looked a bit bemused and said she didn’t know, she was sure she had put them in the
cup beside her bed, but when she got up, no gnashers. I headed off to see the staff nurse,
none too pleased about this heinous crime (oh, incidentally as you asked, I was in the force
for 30 years and investigated some strange disappearances, teeth not being high up the list)
The staff nurse smiled, leaned in towards me, took my arm, and said “don’t worry, I know
just where they’ll be”. We then mounted what could only be described as a covert surveillance,
and followed “old Annie”, waiting for her to put down the small handbag she carried with her
at all times. As she was slowly climbing back into bed, the staff was like a ninja getting her
bag open and teeth out in a flash, before it could upset Annie who carried all her “treasures”
in there. Apparently teeth, amongst other things, were high on Annie’s wish list and MIL wasn’t
the first to be deprived of said choppers.As an addendum to this strange tale, we were back in visiting the following day, when MIL said
wait till you see this”, she promptly removed her falsers, and on the plate, written in felt
pen, was “Brenda”. The staff had named the set in case Annie got the chance to reoffend and
they could identify them from those of some other unsuspecting gumsy victim.It’s funny how in dark times, humour often somehow manages to creep in
Definitely need the humour BigG, when I was on dialysis for nearly two years it gets you through, when you are not too well you can get frustrated and irritable and you need to get into a better place mentally and humour is a great tonic.
the same thing happened to my mother in law
not the teeth lol but the move from hospital to a smaller community hospital for respite
she was a very stern and quite strict woman and she didn’t take any nonsense
We went out to visit her and whilst she was busy talking to the rest of the family I craftily put the tv on as I had a bit of a punt on Duke of Marmalade, over £100 which is a big stake for me. The race started and getting to the business end Duke of Marmalade was in a ding dong battle with Papal Bull, forgetting where I was, I started getting a bit louder cheering on the Duke then within a flash the tv went off and mother in law screamed at me “You are here to visit me, not watch the racing” she had used the remote control…
They didn’t have smartphones or at least none of us had back then so I had to wait 2 hours to find out the resultCharles Darwin to conquer the World
Still no sign of Deaf Jon
maybe he’s in the Green Man
with WilfredCharles Darwin to conquer the World
Deaf Jon made an appearance this morning, he turned up just in time as I was on my way to pick up some Pork chops for lunch. He has been suffering with a bad cough, deaf Jon, not the chops.
He coughed a couple of times in the half hour we spent together, nearly choked on his tea at one stage, perhaps I didn’t stir his sugar well enough.
He told me he had been in town and had changed his household insurance as his previous insurers had tried ripping him off over his car insurance so was changing both. He had slammed the letter down at the front desk and told them he was changing only to be told they can match whatever new quote he was offered. Jon said “No thank you” in a **** off tone…Charles Darwin to conquer the World
Interesting, somewhat dark, but fascinatingly revealing reading from both BigG and you Nathan.
I do hope deaf Jon’s cough is better- there is a lot about, and one needs to wrap up well, and advisable not to shake too many hands – no priests but monks excepted.
I have wrapped up on here recently due to other things I should be doing, but have nonetheless followed what has been going on, in the backwater and the main bull ring.
I have ” secretly ” been reading two old threads and found two rather controversial links in other places in my travels back in time. One thread was suddenly closed to me, when I went back the next day – which greatly intrigued me, and is the reason for my ”
“.In my private review of the past I came up with a list of five names of people that brought seismic change. All firestatrters – the majority renegades – subversives is too strong a word. Shhhh…the clandestine Ministry of truth may well be on to me, but fascinating reading in the dark, and enlightening those two old thread crowds and throwing the right sort of gladatorial weights for me, were men and women of the unruling senate whose names I do choose to reveal, namely, Ugly Mare, Moehat, Drone, interspersed with accurate slingshots from Seabird.
Have I marked my card ?
I am going back now to the comfortable warmth of the underground to glean a few more reminiscences, so do take care and remember little really matters and is usually well covered in your prayers.
