Burns Night

On this day
My mind turns
To that hero
Robbie Burns.

With poems to
The haggis, and a mouse,
He made his name
And worldwide fame.
Also the tale
Of Tam O'Shanter,
And his escape
From the baleful witch
In the short shift.

So tonight around the globe
Robbie is honoured,
And I will raise my dram
And toast the spirit
Of that man.

Being de-Googleised would be a terrible shock.

This is a good day for World Health.

A wise move.

Here Salisbury Cathedral is being used for anti-covid vaccinations. It has plenty of space for social distancing.

A fitting musical celebration of the event.

Ha ha! The love of Bitcoins is the root of all evil.

Rowing is of course a healthy activity. But they should be careful of the crocodiles.

Re: Julian Assange still not in the clear from prosecution or persecution .....

Possibly, but more likely I just got confused. There is such a huge quantity of information coming at me these days.

Perhaps a rational mutual decoupling.

Well done Elon! But I thought he was years ago.

I think so. For more info on the Gnostics, see

The Gnostics: The First Christian Heretics by Sean Martin

The Gnostic version is that the wisdom of Sophia was breathed into Adam and Eve, and then the serpent gave Eve gnostic knowledge.

Lady S was a colourful aristocrat of the 18th century.

Perhaps Eve was scapegoated for the bad business with the serpent and the apple. As Lady Salisbury said of Adam: "A shabby fellow indeed!".

Ah. Close, but no cigar! Actually she is EVE, described as "sleek, but dangerous".

Yes! A New Year quiz. Your starter for ten ....
