"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.

    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder    
    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
