The person 'Out' got half of their 'self penned' Clan title correct.... "Responsible for Nothing".... Ho hum....

Feckin' Hell!....that was My first act as 'Chieftain'... Not nice but, to My mind, 'Just & Fair' I WILL NOT have such in My Clan & if I hear of such it will be CUT OUT!!! YOU DO NOT IMPOSE YOURSELF ON ANYONE AGAINST THEIR WISHES! END OF!!!....

Feckin' HELL, how long does "Age Verification" take??? It's a bag of shyte...I've been using the internet longer than the 'age verification' is set for....on the same feckin' username? Why not just look at My 'activity' over the decades eh? (it's what you're about eh yer TW@'s?) Feck orf!!!...

All Clan Records are now duly updated

We do not try & 'gloss over' our actions or demand that we are 'NOT' what our forcible actions (& past cautionable actions?) paint us to be? "Know Thyself" "Harm no other" Two Clan tenants....broken/shattered... No redemption...

I do not take this 'lightly' & would not take such action 'on a whim'...there have been prior 'incidents' & warnings' but to no avail 'Alcohol' is an excuse, not a reason When we act out through to much drink we scramble to apologise & seek forgiveness for our transgressions... Not ignore our sin

I am sorry to have to report this but I am about to remove a Clan Member for 'Unacceptable & irredeemable behaviours' I have cogitated long & hard but their behaviour falls well short of that expected by ANY Clan member... Message Ends

I've recently endured an event that has pushed Me further toward "No More Mr Nice Guy" than I've ever found Myself before? Suffice to say I have even more empathy for all that My Sisters are forced to endure at the hands of, & I use the term 'loosely', 'Men'.....

Are we great yet?

I can’t believe it’s Premature Ejaculation Awareness day already. It seems to come quicker every year.

#MindMelodies #MusicChallenge Expressions Neil Young - Heart of Gold 🎶 'It's these expressions, that never give Keep me searching for a gold of gold And I'm getting old' youtu.be/c7eB7Wns1-M?...

'Ollie' kindly took Me to the 'Dusty' fer a few pints... Cool Guy! We seem to be on the 'same page' across plenty of My 'WOOO' stuff..... Maybe I'm not so "Out There"......maybe I'm pretty 'mainstream' really.....?

It's the 30th year Since the Woman I thought was mine for life chucked Me, by phone, from Oban, on Christmas Eve 94'... That 'Pace Egg', 95', was the beginning of 'This Life'? It means a lot to Me? The Pace Egg (at Heptonstall?) appears to be dying with its cast? Last one?...

Hey! At least I waited 'till after Nieces Wedding eh?

Even Folk My age do not seemed to have clicked that You fight 'Hate' with 'Love'? At worst it cancels out the Hate, at best, the 'Love Wins'? Think about the scale of the Emotions when 'Love' meets with 'Love'..... Do You see why You dare not feed 'Hate' with more 'Hate'?....

I've had so many 'Living' Teachers across My life so far but it becomes ever more clear to Me that the common lesson from them ALL is "Don't be like them" The bottom line is; "Am I your Enemy or are You?"... Am I not just a bright reflective surface that shows You You in a way You cannot deny?

As I've said to Phil....Who knew "Casting out Demons" was so tiring?.... They're gone.....they're now desiccating like "Worms in the Sun"... Now We rest.....

Party Hat arrived in time for the Fun!!!

All 'Scrubbed & Polished' ahead of the "Great Birthday Weekend"!!!

My 'New' "FECK YOU LABOUR!" Housecoat arrived.... They'll not freeze Me into an early Grave!!!....

Photo from My Nieces Wedding....I quite like it...

Very quiet here all of a sudden?... Darling Sister (& Her 'lurgy'?) have left the building The 'Lads' (Grand Nephews), with a Big, Sharp, Sword, made Me their 'Knight Protector' last night (in a little ceremony I concocted?)... Better they ask 'Me' for Help than 'Others' eh?

I've 'back burnered' My Clan since taking My Brother to His rest.... Today, as Chieftain, I gave My Niece away to Her Fella.... That felt a lot better! Not Many Lasses get the chance of a Clan Chieftain giving Her away I guess?.... I wonder if She's even though on it?....

Every time I run into another person, speaking as only 'experiencers' can, it seems to seed a burst of 'Crystallization' in My Consciousness & grow My understanding? I get quite 'giddy' with it all! After decades of feeling 'becalmed' it's as if there's now Wind in My sails?....

As with the 'Jake Barber' interview this will only be of interest to those who have personal experience in such? I know it's kinda 'Preaching to the Converted' but it is good to know that what we KNOW is far more common in others than we dared believe? youtu.be/QU-wJ-O5VzI

Look Guys, 10 years ago (& as far back As the late 70's?) if You asked Me about 'NHI's' (Non Human Intelligence?) I'd have said 'Statistically' such was 'Probable'? Over the last decade We've ALL moved to the point such is 'FACT'.... We ALL need approach the Sea Change....

Dear Daughter shared My afternoon as She busied Herself making Vegan Chocolate Brownies for Clansman Danny's B/day She's such a perfectionist & worrier! (I wonder where She gets that from?) Nice 4 Us to 'touch base'? (& Bobby bullied Her rotten!.....He's such a Beast at times!)

" Tonight I will mostly be wrestling with what I've spent the daylight hours digesting from Mr Barber.... " Whatever You Guys are up to for the weekend have the most Blessed time of it all eh? (Looks to be a calmer weather weekend this time at least?)
