Ha! No, avoid in the flesh - I had to go into town to do some shopping, which is right near the theatre where he is tonight.
I spent the whole time looking over my shoulder, with my collar up, head down and headphones on!

I can't say I blame you - the Battenburg probably wouldn't have lasted that long in my house either! Still, with only four squares on your board, I think neither hoop nor twiglet will be victorious...

Ah, now what you need is nine slices of Battenburg, arranged in a square, which makes a much better board. Then you can use assorted confectionary (such as an orange Revel for the King and a Reese's Piece for the Queen) simply by ramming them into the cakey bits.

A Kaossilator is a dynamic phase synthesizer - basically a hand-held electronic musical device that's rather difficult to control at the best of times! Hmm, that might be where the 'Kaos' bit comes from... ;o)

Nah, it's made from the finest Dalek scrotum and hand sculpted by space ferrets. Seriously though, it's lovely. Lucky thing I don't have a budget of more then £800 for the wardrobe though... There is no way I'm buying it. :P

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky





Nov 19 2007 1:29 AM

The possible truths, hazily perceived in the world of abstraction, like those inferred from observation and experiment in the world of matter, are forced upon the profane multitudes, too busy to think for themselves, under the form of Divine revelation and scientific authority. But the same question stands open from the days of Socrates and Pilate down to our own age of wholesale negation: is there such a thing as absolute truth in the hands of any one party or man? Reason answers, "there cannot be." There is no room for absolute truth upon any subject whatsoever, in a world as finite and conditioned as man is himself. But there are relative truths, and we have to make the best we can of them.

H.P. Blavatsky, Lucifer, February, 1888

From a great collection of spiritual quotes

Yay for free music :D I normally use SLSK.

Let me know what you think of The fair Miss Newsom. I know she doesn't have theremin, but her voice and the harp make up for it.

I love the badger badge I knew I should have bought dodgybadgers.com
