Provincial Letters

Far from the mad crowds of the city, Blaise Pascal passed comment on the strange behaviour of this urban contemporaries in his Provincial Letters. The connection between them and this blog is somewhat tenuous.

Location: Grimsby, N E Lincolnshire, United Kingdom

My star sign in Superstition. And I didn't believe in reincarnation last time, either. The only thing I can't tolerate is intolerance. I am a fanatical ant-fanaticist. I am bigotted only where bigots are concerned. I am a fundamentalist atheist. I'm proud to be a product of evolution; I know it in my genes.

Posted @ 09:29Drinking tea in the modern world

Firstly, chaps & chapesses, this blog has switched to the new Blogger software. This shouldn't cause you any problems but you know what these computer programmer types are like, they always say that and then... ...boom, the world falls apart ("but some things stay in place").

Back to the tea...

Excuse me a moment while I make a cup of said beverage...

Tea, of course, is the downfall of all right-thinking people: one cup and you're hooked; everything else — such as writing blogs — becomes subsumed in the ritual of continually drinking tea rather than do anything else (unless someone offers beer). You know the feeling: you know you ought to finish the lyrics for your new song, record the bass and drums and let people know that you're still making those daft noises called music (let alone expending the vast intellectual efforts researching the compelling nonsense in this bloig). But then, the temptation: ahh more tea.

It is well known (by me, anyway) that Mark W suffers from this affliction. As, I must admit, do I. If anyone knows a cure, please let me know.

And in conclusion

Well, I think I'll have another cup of tea.
