Thought Sorter

Less than two years ago I made a Thought Sorter for someone called Papa Bear and he still has it. I was a novice inventor then.

It worked by turning a handle and lots of sparkly bits moving. It has instructions with it that basically explain that it will sort good and bad thoughts. It has served him well (although for his part he has had it serviced regularly). It lives in Southwold, Suffolk. That might be too far for some of you to go to get your thoughts sifted. So imagine my delight when I learnt that they are making and selling them online in Thinikityville (I really should have had mine patented). This is what it looks like. (You might like to click on it for further inspection before purchasing).

Of course it does actually do much more than the one I made did. I concede it is a superior product. DIY is fine but those commercial organisations can always top us amateurs.

The advert says....

This thought sorter will....
1) Deliver a little ding when the daydream has gone that bit too far.
2) Stop psychotic episodes..like when she said that did she mean and do you think she would have thought I meant by that and.....
3) Limit bonkers creative free-thinking and balance it with down to each practical thoughts like 'shoes are good for outdoors.'
4) Find that name, word, place that you really need that has slipped out of the grasp of your short term memory.
5) Help with social tourettes i.e. which comments to keep inside and which are allowed out.
6) Rub out all thoughts for meditation.
7) In cases where thoughts disagree with each other e.g. chocolate is good, chocolate, is bad - sort them so only the correct one exists. i.e. Chocolate is good.
8) Have an off switch for bedtime.
(Also comes with basic mode attachment which just sorts good thoughts and bad thoughts - for those of you a little shy of full meddling.)

Absolutely perfect for me....I'm going to bulk buy.

Breaking the blog spell...

My beautifully captivating and mesmerising big sister cast a spell on me. It was a spell that would make me sit in up in the clouds and write a blog every single day...mostly for her benefit - as she dutifully and kindly read and commented on each one. Being easily coaxed into most things and liking the idea of a blog meant this spell was fine...for a while. Then.....I was sitting minding my own business (I look quite funny when I do that - most people do) when a huge green common-sense elf wearing red hotpants came and waved his wand at me declaring, "Writing a blog every day when you work full time, have two youngish children and a million projects on the go at any one time, is a little silly. You can waffle on and on about just about anything and do have about forty draft blogs saved ready to run, but it's probably best you aim more for quality than quantity and only write about slightly more fully formed ideas! After all, less IS more." I was released -although I fear

51 quirky features of Norwich Cathedral that you can go and find

Image
I have always loved Norwich Cathedral as it is beautiful and atmospheric. But it turns out that it is also loaded with a hotchpotch of history as building started in 1096. The more I learn about it, the more fascinated I become. So here are my recommendations for what to look out for should you ever visit the cathedral. 1) The Elizabethan grave of Thomas Gooding Thomas was a mason of the cathedral. He paid a fair amount of money to be buried upright because he believed this would give him an advantage come judgement day. At the base of his memorial is a typical of its time, poignantly death-focused inscription: 'All you that do this pass bye Remember death for you must dye As you are now even so was I And as I am so shall you be Thomas Gooding here do staye Wayting for God's judgement day' If you look at the skeleton, you will see there is poor knowledge of anatomy. 2) The grave of the baby that died before she was born . I have been told that this is be

Anal Retention Test

I was clearing out some old files on my computer and came across this. I wrote it in about 1999 (back when people still wrote cheques) predominantly to take the p*** out of a teaching colleague that was the opposite end of this particular spectrum to me! He took it as the silly, light-hearted bit of fun it was meant to be, but he did actually score nearly full marks. We are still friends and he's a headteacher now. Just shows you how far a bit of anal retention can take one. *************************************************** DEFINITION A popular term for “anal retentive personality,” a personality marked by excessive orderliness, extreme meticulousness, and often suspicion and reserve. According to psychoanalysis, an anal personality is formed in early childhood as a result of efforts to control bowel movements. *************************************************** Now tell me, does anal retention *increase with age? *really make life easier? *have very strong links to the need to b
