"I don't know. Maybe they just oughta leave it the way it is. Kind of a shrine to all the the bullshit in the world" is what Doug Roberts said after his tower infernoed.


I reckon I'll leave my 10,000 there as just such a shrine.


Or perhaps leave it as a symbol, a gesture perhaps to a united world.


The four zeros representing the four quarters of the globe when flattened on the top and bent round a bit.

The figure one applied to an ideal one world, no firsts, no thirds, just one's.


So I'll let the 10,000 remain as a contemporary totem, inviolate, pristine that current and future generations may draw inspiration, not to say succour from the power of its messages and its humble creator.


Farewell.

Aaaah crap. If only I'd seen that coming.


Hubris? Or just plain old being a daft sod, undeserving of guru status.


Sometimes, the opportunity to make a cult of oneself changes/hinges on the smallest of occurrences.


Supposing Joseph had said to Mary, "look I don't care, and I don't want to know his name, let's just put this behind us and the kid never need know".


Or if Buddha had looked more like Larry David than his 'fat f@ck' manager Jeff Greene?


How different might be the world today?


So it looks like I'm not as much of a cult as I thought I might be.


So I'll carry on heading for 20,000, in which case I could likely as not unite the world in half the time. Maybe.


Never mind, there's always going back to the Song Game thread and making up songs and groups 'til I get caught out again.

    • Apparently a tourist tax was Raynor's idea, but Reeves has put the kibosh on it because of the push-back she'll get from businesses
    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
