He does look pretty ho...Crikey. He's big, too. <br />He does look pretty horrified and apologetic himself that his lower portions are an alligator.E Saxeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973702631892830907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477080206627137109.post-84138154124972102792018-04-15T18:40:06.764+01:002018-04-15T18:40:06.764+01:00I also very much like the fake Ulfberht swords - l...I also very much like the fake Ulfberht swords - looking like a top-notch weapon, right up until someone else whacks it hard:<br />https://www.theguardian.com/science/2008/dec/27/archaeology-vikings-sword<br /><br />Partly they intrigue me because they suggest that a culture with no mass communication could still have brand recognition.E Saxeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973702631892830907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477080206627137109.post-88066367837078053632018-03-06T16:12:28.162+00:002018-03-06T16:12:28.162+00:00That is actually a very good idea :-)That is actually a very good idea :-)Rhyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804628726352473933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477080206627137109.post-30218429542656274622018-03-04T18:04:09.042+00:002018-03-04T18:04:09.042+00:00My favourite is, without a doubt, Paul is dead. I...My favourite is, without a doubt, Paul is dead. It's such fun finding clues, and following the patterns other people find. All that creativity running riot in the late sixties and just desperate for a direction. My favourite clue has to be the Abbey Road album cover. The 'funeral procession' and the numberplate LMW 28IF -- Linda McCartney Weeps, and Paul would be 28, IF he was still alive.

Saxey: Jake the Alligator Man used to terrify me when I was a kid -<br /> he's part of a roadside attraction/gift store on the way to the Pacific Ocean, so I'd often see him right before we went beach camping and then have a hard time going to sleep!

We should suggest the idea of an anthology of short stories inspired by real members of the authors' families that used to tell never-happened anecdotes and fabricated episodes :-)Valeria Vitalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07575266222361802997noreply@blogger.com
