Still at the top trump malarky


I am still making top trump cards and scattering them here and there. I also hand them to people so that they can use them as a form of identifucation (sp). There are now well over three hundred to collect. My sister says it's just attention seeking behaviour. I agree.

    I didn't know you knew Udge the Smudge?

    How weird is that?

    I was talking to him just the other day...

    Small world, isn't it?

    All the best

    P.S. When I were a lad, identifucation was something that wasn't discussed in public! At least, not by Gentlemen or Gentlewomen!

    I am often found talking about identifucation at the top of my voice in public...I like to be risqué. But I'm all talk - you wouldn't catch me actually having one.

    I went to school with Udge the Smudge and it is a little known fact that I gave him his nick name. How do you know him?

    Perhaps it's yime to unplug.

    So I've wondered, when you do these, you sketch them out (paper or software?) and print on a color printer to hand out, or do you hand out original art???

    In any case, fanciful and fun stuff.

    Attention-seeking behavior is what makes the global economy work. I'm proud of you.

    Very cool - indeed I think they should have 'coolness' factor as well.

    Hi Eric...I draw them, scan them in, print, laminate and cut them out. I have children collecting them this side of Norwich (where I live) as I leave them in shops, in fences etc The other day a mum said her child described me as the seagull lady because when I scattered them at the original event I made them for, the kids swooped in on me like seagulls!!!!

    Fred the quote maker! Thank you.

    I have been making more flowers but not because my big sister told me to!!!

    Mark - I suspect coolness would causse a lot of argument when I handed them out to people for use as indentification! As it is intelligence and magical power starts fights!!

    "My sister says it's just attention seeking behaviour."

    I suppose that if you see any person doing almost anything, there's at least an element of attention getting behavior involved.

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

Image
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...
