England's Dreaming!

"While much attention was focused then (and still is now) on the personal morals and theological speculations of the Ranters, their general outlook is more important for our present concerns. The Ranters included some of the most brilliant and perceptive young thinkers of the day, including Joseph Salmon, Jacob Bauthumley, and Abiezer Coppe. Their writings breath despair over circumstances offering no apparent way forward. Like the unemployed ranks of punks in England of the 1970's snarling 'no future,' the Ranters were a disturbed and disturbing presence within a receding utopian horizon."

(p88 "The Covenant Crucified-Quakers and the Rise of Capitalism" by Douglas Gwyn. Pendle Hill Publications, Wallingford, Pennsylvania, Amerika 1995)

The One And Only Jim Smith

Amerikans are Nuts! Either there really is a Jim Smith Society (motto: We Don’t Shun Fun) in Amerika or there is a spoof website. Membership is open to anyone by the name of Jim Smith. Apparently. Wonder if they wear name tags at their annual conference? And yes, the President is Jim Smith, the Treasurer is Jim Smith, the Secretary is Jim Smith and as for next years committee….

Now the thought of rectifying my name by statutory declaration to Jim Smith in order to join did occur. But somehow. It brightens up otherwise dull days to have official documents with Bluebell New Jerusalem Eikonoklastes on them. Not enough maybe but hey it costs nothing. Somehow Jim Smith just doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.

There is only one Bluebell Eikonoklastes. I put James Smith, Jim Smith and Jimmy Smith into

http://www.yournotme.co.uk

And it turns out that there are 6390, 57 and 22 respectively a grand total of 6469

And wondering how many Bluebell Eikonoklastes there are well there is only one.

“You are unique. You are one with the angry Squirrel. Shout 'I am the unique. I am unified with the badger overlord.' People will run away. That's because they're jealous. JEALOUS.. ”

Wikipediana (part one of an occasional series. Maybe)

Did text a few friends:-

“The following Emperors were Field Marshals in the British Army wilhelm 2nd of Germany, franz-josef of austria-hungary, hirohito of japan, sadam hussain of iraq”

amazing what you find on wikipedia. Love it!

My Friend Simon texted back saying he had a picture of Kaiser Bill in a kilt so did text him with

“I remember as a lad watching the news, a kilt was auctioned and bourght by Field Marshal Idi Amin Dada VC President of Uganda and conquerer of the british empire b”



anyway, noting wrong with men in skirts.

But back to Field Marshals. Funny, having made 2 enemy emporers high ranking officers in the British Army, you would think they would have learned a lesson. But no, the late Showa emporer as well was a 5 star general in “our” army. Pehaps, though finally that was the last straw and was the only reason why Sadam Hussain was not given a baton by the Queen. He was on our side once as well.

LET THE SUN SHINE! (part two)

Likesay, my digital camera has its’ limitations. LET THE SUN SHINE IN! Above picture taken in Oblong. Below is a picture of said hanging in it’s context with Oblong’s Punk in Chief Duncan enjoying the sunshine.

May the Government be Dammed! (part two)

It comes as a shock to the system to learn that two veteran sixty something peace activists are being charged under supposedly anti-terrorism legislation which could see them facing a year in the state pen. See article in Independent.

Ok yes there is a personal side to this in that Sylvia Boyes is a personal friend and a Sister in the Lord.

Anyway. Why the National ID database? To combat terrorism? Hardly. Suicide bombers have passports if they need and if they needed them would have ID cards in their own name. To combat ordinary crime? Er no. Police State? Ah that was the reason wasn’t it Tony?

May the Government be Dammed!

Pictures of Pussy on the Internet (part two of an occasional series)

Since Gael asked for more pictures of pussy and less quizzes…………..

Already A Master Photograhper! Er well maybe not

Here at Oblong Resource Centre there are lots of workers and peasants hard at work creating a new and just and beautiful society. Alas since they are all camera shy I can’t take any pictures. Much respect.

First a view from Cardigan Road





now a view from the rosebank




another view from the Rosebank





OK pics are not so good at the moment need a bit more tender love and care in a graphics programme, and my camera has it’s limitations. Or perhaps I am still on a learning curve

THE INNER LIGHT

”The Inner Light is probably associated by most people with the Society of Friends, but that Society of course has no monopoly therein. Everyone who believes in th indwelling of the Spirit of God in man is a believer in the Inner Light. Naturally the Mystics place more emphasis on it than those who incline rather to the institutional type of religion and the Quakers, being Mystics rather than Institutionalists, put the Inner Light at the very centre of their faith.”

“The Inner Light” by Gerald K Hibbert (1928 Ernest Benn Limited Fleet Street.)

Not a religion founder in any true sense, instead felt that everyone should follow their own path to God. "There is nothing but water in the holy pools. I know, I have been swimming there. All the gods sculpted of wood or ivory can’t say a word. I know, I have been crying out to them. The Sacred Books of the East are nothing but words. I looked through their covers one day sideways. What I talk about is only what I have lived through. If you have not lived through something, it is not true."
