"And he said to them, "Doubtless you will quote to me this proverb, 'Physician, heal yourself.' What we have heard you did at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well." Luke 4:23 KJV.
A place to tell the crazy stuff that happens, and it does quite often, even if only within my head.



So, as Samhain 2010 approaches and no one can be sure how many artists will survive the opening of the veils I may as well blog; not that I think I am too weak in art to survive, but this is a big one.
I envisage that the new politics will need some tweaking. The current work on the public sector and long term ‘grand designs’ are politically expedient, even now when the bills are effectively paid, with an opportunity like this it would be insane to miss it.
So for a trillion plus sterling, we get PR, PROPER PR!!! Subsequently this may well see a fragmentation of the political system. The left will fragment (pinkos, reds, Fabians), being able to come together in coalition to govern. The right may also fragment into wets, and what I’ll call the bitter right (but to be honest their social insecurity means that they’ll never leave the wets, such associations are vital capital in golf club conversations). Obviously what is delineated as the far right and a developing green party (who’ll probably throw in with the left) will also be present. The Liberals will inhabit their natural position; the consensual centre.
Personally I can see the Whigs and Wets working together quite often over the next century.
As an aside the reason I’m winding these people up is because they deserve it, and them knowing makes it all the more enjoyable. As to anyone who advises that I shouldn’t mix business and pleasure, first this kind of business is a pleasure, and second, I don’t get paid for this!!!

2010 United Kingdom...
In the United Kingdom, they came first for the communists' jobs, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a communist; and then they came for the trade unionists' jobs, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; and then they came for the Jews' jobs, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; and then...they came for me...and offered me a job.
A voice calls, an invite, a wedding. The knight standing on the threshold of the new middle ages dons his tunic, mantle, fatigues and boots and takes heel northward. Called forth he travels weaving a wyrd web through the land; multilinearity.
The isle echoes through time, bastion against the invader ‘Choose yourself an island’. So many different days spent here, the crashing waves as a child, the stay during recovery, the docking of the ship, and now a wedding. The trees rush past the carriage, the fresh sea breeze.
Four becomes six, then spins through the quarters. What is to become has been
