One does not need school to learn science, one needs the universe, Libraries full of scientific works, one's own natural curiosity, parents willing to teach one to read, the society of other curious children (children are born curious), eyes, ears & senses!

@mohammedakunjee Hi

You live in London. I live in Bedford. I can get into London very easily.

Let's you and I discuss these issues over a drink:

I say;

We don't need work
We don't need school
We don't need doctors

There was far too much noise on that Space. Let's debate?
@mohammedakunjee Let's debate one to one, over a drink. My telephone number is 07715 814 400

The Ancients knew about such amazing things as The Precession of the Equinoxes and the associated 26,000 year Great Year.

They didn't have school or [our concept of] paid work!
@mohammedakunjee As Oscar Wilde said, "We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars."

Why not a world where all of us can look at the stars?

We don't need schools. We need Libraries!

Before this year has ended, I'll be 70 years old. I'm starting to feel my age.

When I hear this song:



I think: "Lying down again".

When I hear this:



I think: "Aching all over!"
I look at the prospect of #DyingOfOldAge and I wonder, #IsThereAnAlternative?

I'm too much of a coward to consider #suicide, in any conventional sense of the world.

I will absolutely not surrender myself to Euthanasia, after all, what's the Youth in Asia ever done for me? !!!
I AM #ALittleBitKinky. I often wonder, couldn't I find a #dominatrix with #AVeryShortFuse, #IrritateTheHellOutOfHer and #GoOutWithABangNotAWhimper?

So I'm looking around me for #PotentialPartnersInCrime.

I had no control over how #ICameIntoTheWorld

Can I control how I leave?

Less than a million years ago, a certain woman accused me of speculating on her #MentalHealth to an acquaintance of her's.

I don't know if I did or I didn’t. I DO know that I've known (or known of) the lady for more than a decade & that I'd probably speculate on Anybody's ...
... #MentalHealth during that time. I've sure as Hell speculated on my own.

We all have a #Shadow. When I take my shadow out of the #MetaphoricalBox in which I keep it hidden, and look it in the eye, I think: Gillard: You're as '#MadAsABoxOfFrogs!
Unlike my #FragileFriend who clearly thinks that anyone speculating on her #MentalHealth is an #Insult and a serious danger to her #reputation, I think #TheWholeBloodyWorldIsMad!

Has nobody read #Kafka, #Hesse, #DeSade, Sacher-Masoch or #LukeRhinehart?

@StellaParton Strange to tell, Jesus, being a Jew, would have kept the Sabbath on a Saturday.

Moving the Holy Day to Sunday (Sun Day) was a trick performed by the Emperor Constantine, who wanted to bring Christians and Sun Worshippers under the same religious umbrella.
If we look carefully at the days of the week, we have:

Sun Day
Moon Day
Mars Day
Mercury Day
Jupiter Day
Venus Day
Saturn Day

And then back to Sun Day.

This is much more obvious when one learns the names of the days in Italian (see: dummies.com/article/academ… ) and when one ...
... and when one remembers that the English names (for each day) were based on the names of the Norse Gods, which seem to correspond to the Roman Gods and have similar planetary / day of the week, associations.

@SidoniavonBork Oh wow!

You exist outside of the English Mansion Porn Site!

Please could you help me? I was wandering in the Twittersphere and I'm lost. Please would you direct me to your deep, dark dungeon, underneath that impregnable fortress in the middle of the huge ...
@SidoniavonBork ... Please would you direct me to your deep, dark dungeon, underneath that impregnable fortress in the middle of the huge, dense impregnable forest?

You know? The one where, the only chaps who've ever ventured there have never been seen again.

@Ch_JesusChrist I live in the UK. Two beautiful young women (Sister X and Sister Y) recently approached me to tell me about your Church.

The women were beautiful and I was entranced. I showed an interest in the Church, the women evaporated into thin air. ...
@Ch_JesusChrist You'll have to do a great deal better than that, if you want to reel in this agnostic!

I'm entertaining the possibility that you hired these two women from an advertising agency. One of them had big brown eyes a chap could lose himself in, held a face to die for!
