A smokie gun.

Did I hear this correctly?  As a consequence of “the interview’ the Queen(HRH) will deny young Archie Discount on Arbroath Kippers; and Harry and Megan (eggsHRH not EggsBenefits)are now denied Ducks and Duck Eggs .

Titles are one thing but is this beyond the pale? Perhaps I need to have my ears tested before more of us are denied these excellent sources of protein.

And don’t tell me I am barking up the wrong tree. You can trace the royals up a very tall tree of  divine rice.

Of course, if I had not listened to the BBC, half asleep, none of this would have happened.

And why are Elizabeth, Charles  and entourage not running furlongs? Will a lack of exercise lead to a review of Royal Jelly? Possibly hoping for a return to the Steak Tartar after the pancake.

Sensitivity and Understanding are central to the very human portrayal by Steve and John of Friendship.

Friendship is the thread which slowly winds its way through this film.

To have just one good friend in life is to live one’s life well.

Gently building through the film this is what we learn.  The multi facited humour and talent of Laurel and Hardy are portrayed and built on by these two indivuals who skillfully bring their gentle genius into the 21^st century.       Stan and Ollie. Steve and John

Very much like Ravel’s Bolero slow and even repetious at first, the film gathers momentum. Or do the actors and director very skillfully reset our pace to the gentler pace of the 30s. A more humane pace of living.

Laurel and Hardy in their heyday, worked in troubled times.  In the 50s, traumatised by war people had to deal with rapid social change.   ‘Stan and Ollie’ works in our chaotic times as a metaphor for sensitivity and understanding.

At the heart of things all we really want in life is a friend who truly understands and cares amongst this chaos. If truthful, we all feel small inside when we stand alone.

Take from the film a promise to yourself to understand , be true to yourself,   care.

Start with one person, your partner, your child, your ageing parent, yourself…

Will  praying for three days guarantee better letters ay Scrabble.

Praying to God may help but self-reliance is probably a better option. For me the best games are those which are open so that if either player is lucky enough to get a ‘bingo’ there is somewhere to place it. However, 5xI and 2xU is always frustrating and a challenge in so many ways.

The present human concept of time and space make any understanding of how the universe functions impossible. Great minds need a more meaningful focus.

 A challenging activity , at this time, would be to address issues that enhance life on Earth for the global community.    To target resources on problems that face the majority of the human population could create a Heaven in the observable universe on our own planet.

Spend 9 months and billions of dollars on a trip to Mars or visit the deserts of our planet that have been transformed at the same cost into a paradise  on Earth.  Is the challenge of making our beautiful home a wonderful place for all people to live in so lacking in kudos?

Affordable ‘graphene filters’ to give everyone unlimited pure water hence, food and a green environment need not be an impossible dream.

Watch the stars in the heavens yet know, 

you are fully alive in that heaven on Earth.

The Feed in Tariff or ‘Roofless Tax’ is a means of maximising the cost of electricity for those that do not own a roof and minimising the cost for roof and land owners. In other words. it allows the owners of suitable property to have their energy needs subsidised at the expense of those who are unable to do so.

At its worst and most inequitable, those with the largest roofs and the most land profit most from this tariff.

Only community or council owned land and roofs should benefit in this way.

We have here the legitimised transferal of UK tax into the hands of the wealthiest in society.

An idea comes.

A thought surfaces, we know not where from.

We share it.

We are blanked.

Later, that same idea is thrown back at us, as new ,innovative, possibly becoming a shared wisdom.

Credit given is not the issue. It is transitory. It is destructive of our inner knowledge and soul.

A meaningful idea, a heartfelt wisdom will live and grow after we are gone.

Shared wisdom moves ‘life’ forward and will live forever in an open heart.
