A breakthrough in Physics?
or, as Eccentrica Gallumbits would put it…
“The Best Bang since the Big One ” ?

So far I’m disappointed with lively, but hopefully that will change.
I see that Google had to pull the adult content that appeared and one of the best ‘rooms’ on Lively, that wasn’t created in advance of the launch, was made by Pathfinder Linden, an employee of Linden Lab the creators of Second Life. However, on the positive side Lively is only 4 days old and still in Beta, so it should get better.
Watch this space for updates.

Note how this satirical version is so much like the original which I scanned…
Many thanks though to Mrs Trellis, of North Wales, who pointed out this obvious blunder … the date (1974) is 3 years after decimalisation, so the price tag of 2/6 is fake – shame.
…and here is the original.
“Oh, so I drank one
It became four
And when I fell on the floor …
…I drank more”

“So rattle my bones all over the stones,
I’m only a beggar-man who nobody owns,
See how words as old as sin,
Fit me like a glove,”

Very 1960s – I bet they’re trying to synthesise Lysergic acid diethylamide.

Saint George is the pride of England’s throne,
From east to west he holds his own
And none may dare in their pride to say,
That Saint George’s Cross has seen its day
Saint George for merry England
When battle clouds at evening frown,
And the sun of peace in shade goes down,
The meteor flag shall its radiance cast
Lit up by the light of the gorgeous Past
Saint George for merry England

“Like real ale, Marmite and Harold Shipman. Makes you proud to be British.”
OK, so it’s not real but ‘Virgle’ was well thought out and is very funny.

“Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya
’bout the raisin’ of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
‘alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
“I drink, therefore I am.”
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed.
Joking aside this site is a gem, thumbs up and bookmarked.

My latest project, video surveillance. Motion sensors, images emailed to a remote server and the option for multiple networked cameras to monitor the front and rear of my property.

“I must speak frankly Mr Shankly” or rather random quotes from Liverpool football legend Bill Shankly including such gems as:
‘Brian Clough’s worse than the rain in Manchester.
At least God stops that occasionally !’
Of an opposition defender in the early 70s
‘If he had gunpowder for brains he couldn’t blow his cap off.’
Tommy Docherty: ‘You have to say Tony Hateley’s good in the air.’
Shankly:’Aye, so was Douglas Bader… and he had a wooden leg.’
To Ian St John:
‘If you’re not sure what to do with the ball, just pop it in the net and we’ll discuss your options afterwards.’

For my colleagues at work…
From the page
“10. And finally, yes, I can read your email, I can see what web pages you look at while you are at work, yes, I can access every file on your work computer, and I can tell if you are chatting with people on an instant messenger or chat room (and can also read what you are typing).
But no, I don’t do it.
It’s unethical, I’m busy, and in all reality you aren’t all that interesting.
So unless I am instructed to specifically monitor or investigate your actions, I don’t.”

Brooke’s Mill, in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, has been the home of wool cloth manufacturing for over two hundred years.
Founded in 1541 by the Brooke family, the trading company of John Brooke and Sons Ltd is believed to be the oldest surviving family business in the UK.
In 1987 the competition from low cost countries brought the inevitable demise of manufacturing on the site.
“It is the home to a community of new and growing businesses run by hard working and enterprising Yorkshire people.”

Another old company – this time the world’s oldest brewery dating back to the year 1040. Like the world’s oldest restaurant http://www.haslauer.at/ Weihenstephan overuse Flash but since they have been brewing excellent beer for nearly 1,000 years I can forgive them.
Cheers!
Stiftskeller St Peters in Saltzburg is the world’s oldest restaurant and was established in 803 but I wish I could be more enthusiastic about it’s web site, but I can’t due to it’s overuse of Flash and hideous background wallpaper.
