"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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
