Today I'm happy about......

Today I'm happy about the word "promotion"



Well not yet I'm not...

Bit premature. Sign a couple of full-backs and you're over the moon!

STRIKER!

Anyway, today I'm happy, for once, about being on a train. Passed a nice quiet hour dozing and reading, and am now gazing out of the window on a sunny evening as we cut through the fields and meadows of the countryside. It really is a gloriously beautiful country we have, when you look at it.

I believe Bishop Berkeley would maintain it was still beautiful even if no human was looking at it - because God sees everything and he would be looking at it and would see it was beautiful.

God in the Quad

There was a young man who said "God
Must find it exceedingly odd
To think that the tree
Should continue to be
When there's no one about in the quad."

Reply:
"Dear Sir: Your astonishment's odd;
I am always about in the quad.
And that's why the tree
Will continue to be
Since observed by, Yours faithfully, God."

Didn't Doctor Johnson refute all this by kicking a stone and injuring his toe?

I don't know that story Monty... Tell us... I do think Berkely's 'argument' weak enough to consider making philosophy illegal...

Not to go too Russell Brand, but: I didn't mean to start a debate, I just love a sunny meadow.

From Boswell's life.

After we came out of the church, we stood talking for some time together of Bishop Berkeley's ingenious sophistry to prove the nonexistence of matter, and that every thing in the universe is merely ideal. I observed, that though we are satisfied his doctrine is not true, it is impossible to refute it. I never shall forget the alacrity with which Johnson answered, striking his foot with mighty force against a large stone, till he rebounded from it -- "I refute it thus."

Amazing photo's ... and concepts.

I do wonder sometimes how long it would take for a house to be overtaken if it was abandoned.

For anyone into photos of weird derelict stuff, this website will draw you in and suck hours of life out of you that you'll never get back. You have been warned.

I think I mentioned a book on here a couple of years ago called "The World Without Us" which tackles this very question - It's a fascinating read..

Won a competition today - which made up for work being a bit rubbish

[Prufrock]

What competition? I hope it wasn't something rubbish, comparable to world's tallest dwarf

You'll be jealous and impressed! It was a pinterest completion run by a company called Clean Green Nappy Machine via facebook. Had to pin 70's style pictures to a board. I did a few and forgot about it but apparently my pin was their favourite (of some groovy 70s style lamp ) Anyway. I won these reusable nappies. Shame I am psyching myself up to potty train the twins in the next month or two! Still they will be in night nappies for a while longer.





Told you you would be green with envy...

[bobo the clown]

Re-usable nappies ?!?!?

Like cloth ones, that you wash .... made of terry-toweling ? .... and pin with a big safety pin ?
