Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

What do you know today, that you did not yesterday?

I lover HoG, gone back to series 1 which we didn't watch, I foten get quit close in the guestimates, I said to myself, hmmm, 350 million, maybe a couple of wings each, 700,000, still way out. What it shows, and the UK is no better, is just how many people there are, just how many mouths to feed (albeit greedy ones in this case, and ours) and how industrial scale farming and distribution is an absolute must, and the way forward, in terms of environment, is population control

rant over, I actually meant the figure to be a blog, but politics is a sore point these days, especially people who ask to treated as adults, get treated as adults, and then say they want their hand held to be able to make a quite obvious decisions.

oops.

[DQ, that's very odd not to be picked up in eye tests before now, usually found and treated in first years of school]

That two fingers was nothing to do with Agincourt archers - that's a myth. There are no reliable records of its use until the early 1900s.

Diogenes
A villanelle is a poem form of nineteen lines, 5 lots of 3 lines (terrestrial) followed by 4 lines (a quatrain) following a rhyme scheme featuring pairs of rhymes such as aab aab aab aab aab aabb.

Sylvia Plath wrote a famous Villanelle which may well have been the inspiration for a certain tv show, or the name of one of the main characters at least.

Mad Girl's Love Song
By Sylvia Plath
"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)"
