If temperatures rise and glacial ice continues to melt, with the consequent flooding of lowland areas, will there be a plague of crocodiles? I once read something that suggested there was a plague of crocodiles in ancient times, due to flooding (possibly down to El Niño events). This is why there are legends of sea monsters.
Is this 'OTTM'? ...
I don't know ...
Weather chat? ...
I remember someone linking the plagues of Egypt as a naturally occuring series of events. As for sea monsters, the Ancient Greeks thought dinosaur remains could be monsters. |

When my PM went for her vaccine in an abandoned Argos the other day, they were playing 'The Drugs Don't Work' by The Verve over the tannoy. Toxteth job centre. Mid to late 90s - "loser" by Beck. Cheers lads. |

I've read kane's post several times now, and I think it may be his birthday. If so, happy birthday Kane. Although I don't really understand how you can have your 21st birthday in your 55th year. my 34th year was 2000 ad, my 55th year was 2021 ad - 2021 - 2000 = 21. I was born on 5th May 1966 (05/05/66) Fibonacci line: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 |

There was no music at the Brighton Racecourse vaccination centre. Just the gentle murmur of anticipation and barely-contained excitement.

Happy birthday Kane! You doing anything nice? I may be popping to the local hardware store for some mirror screws and rubber mounts, weather depending, otherwise I shall entertain myself reading the blog and watching YT, or a film. I was going to wear my kilt but I think I'll give it a miss this year. When are we free of this lockdown nonsense? |

Then it is your 56th year. I was 6 weeks early, I have no memory of the moon landings as my first memory wasn't until November 5th 1969.. |

It was Thursday, under the sign of Taurus (see zodiac on May 5, 1966). The US president was Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat), the UK Prime Minister was Harold Wilson (Labour). Pope St Paul VI was leading the Catholic Church. Famous people born on this day include Shawn Drover and Mike Stapleton in Sarnia. In that special week of May people in US were listening to Monday, Monday by The Mamas & The Papas. In UK Pretty Flamingo by Manfred Mann was in the top 5 hits. Hunger, directed by Henning Carlsen, was one of the most viewed movies released in 1966 while Those Who Love by Irving Stone was one of the best selling books. On TV people were watching Canvas.

Imagine though ... You're living in a Mycenaean village. Every week a saltwater crocodile walks up onto the beach, into the village and drags someone away. A crone, delirious with vapours from a local cave, tells you that you have to tie someone naked on the beach for the crocodile to eat.
There is your legend of the monster.

Cheers lads. I have a dream of one day moving back to Toxteth. Buying a house in the Dingle. They're going for a song. |
