I have a framed print of this scene from ‘The bride of Frankenstein’ hanging in me shed. It was given to me by one of my grandsons, he knows how much I love the old horror films. Frankensteins monster and the good Doctor having a drink and a smoke together, the grandson also knows how much I like a drink and a smoke, I think the doc called him over because he had a bone to pick with him. The drink must have went to the monsters head, or else he didn’t like what the doc had to say because not long afterwards in the film the doc went flying out the castle window.
I learned one thing from this picture that I didn’t know before, I noticed the ring the doctor was wearing, it’s on the little finger of the left hand, this is where homosexuals wore rings in the days when it was illegal to be openly homosexual, I checked it out and sure enough the actor Ernest Thesiger (It’s alive! it’s alive!) was indeed homosexual.
“Thesiger attended Marlborough College and the Slade School of Art with aspirations of becoming a painter, but quickly switched to drama, making his professional debut in a production of Colonel Smith in 1909. He enlisted in the armed forces at the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, allegedly hoping to be assigned to a Scottish regiment because he wanted to wear a kilt, but was wounded in the field and sent home. (At a dinner party shortly after his return, someone asked him what it had been like in France, to which he is supposed to have responded “Oh, my dear, the noise! and the people!”) In 1917, he married Janette Mary Fernie Ranken (1877-1970), sister of his close friend and fellow Slade graduate William Bruce Ellis Ranken. In her biography of Thesiger’s friend, Ivy Compton-Burnett, Hilary Spurling suggests that Thesiger and Janette wed largely out of their mutual adoration of William, who shaved his head when he learned of the engagement. Another source states more explicitly that Thesiger made no secret of his homosexuality” Wiki.
I think you will find that the god you are referring to has emigrated with all its family from this universe to another that is out of reach from us mortals.
Well it’s obvious, as look at the state of this planet and the rest of the space and other lumps of stuff in the local space.
If you owned this universe, would you let it get into the state it is now.
Question: why are all planets and Suns round?
I think that everything is round Emjay, from the smallest to the largest things, even the pictures we see on our screens are comprised of round dots. When I try to think about eternity I picture a circle, there is no beginning or no end to a circle unless we make it, and we make a start to it so we can make it end somewhere and to make sense to ourselves. I think everything is round because round has to be the best way to get around in the universe, ever seen a square planet? Maybe in the future space craft will all be round who knows.
What goes round, comes round, just don’t come round here, Ok.
Bollocks are round, but know their place, and are most dangerous when superfluous to requirement.
Round round get around
I get around
Yeah
Get around round round I get around
I get around
Get around round round I get around
From town to town
Get around round round I get around
I’m a real cool head
Get around round round I get around
I’m making real good bread
“Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that’s turning running rings around the moon
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind!”
Things have got very complex, since the days when the only decision to be made was Who’s round is it?, but that was inevitable, nowt can be that simple for more than a few moments, it would be good if the remaining processing power is not enough to reach a conclusion.
TUT! It is blatantly obvious you chaps now little of astro-physics,forsooth!
This planet is NOT round,it’s an obloid spheroid,as are all the other planets and stars we observe. This is due to the speed of rotation,which draws down the poles and expands the ‘waistline’ [wotcha Jem] aka the equator. Thinner,lighter materials remain close to the surface,forming a ‘crust’,or ‘mantle’. This in turn,is due to two things,gravitational drag-and inverted rotational energy…in other words,the fast an object spins,the more dense it attempts to become,as dense materials are drawn in toward the axis of spin. Ergo-when it’s Jem’s turn to gettem in…and after we remind him he conveniently left his wallet in his coat pocket…NO-ONE,is to shout “It’s your obloid spheroid,Jem”! GOTTIT?!?
A much overlooked event in kids educational TV history is when, Proctor and Gamble started packaging Washing Up Liquid in none Rocket Shaped plastic bottles, this kiss of death for inventiveness.
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round round round

Well there you have it, the universe summed up in a few words, I always said it, you can’t beat simplicity.
