Boadicea's Chariot

Bravo lives! He’s in a blocked area, but will shortly be back.

Local Police hunting the ‘knitting needle nutter’ who has stabbed six people in the arse in the last 48 hours, believe the attacker could be following some kind of pattern

When I was in the pub I heard a couple of dickheads saying that they wouldn’t feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman. What a pair of sexist twats. I mean, it’s not as if she’d have to reverse the bloody thing!

A minor wardrobe malfunction on the distaff side of the Bearsery this morning reminded us of this euphemism that was in vogue in the 1960s.   Neither of us can recall hearing it for many years.

We went to a fire work party last night at a friends house, the house had been done up semi Halloween and part Guy Fawkes so all very well. He also had some items from Alice in Wonderland/Looking glass on display. Which brought about a discussion on the Caterpillar in Wonderland.

Everyone there insisted the Caterpillar was called Absolem (or similar) while my wife, my friends mother in law and me insisted the caterpillar was never named in the book.

As we were outvoted we agreed to disagree.

On looking it up this morning on the web we were right the caterpillar was never named, it was the Tim Burton film of a couple of years ago that gave the caterpillar a name.

Then thinking about it I wonder if any of them have ever read the original book?

Films have a lot to answer for in misleading and misinforming our youth by their blatant alterations and falsehoods. Another film came to ming The Enigma files, in the film the Americans found the enigma machine, in real life it was the British and not a yank in sight.
