If the thought âWantâ or amplifier crossed your mind in the last 4 seconds you are a decent human
If you thought âhornsâ in the last second or so you will be showered in blessings in your next life
If you caught yourself wondering what valves are in these cabinets your vibration is close to critical mass.
Boiler suit envy
Not sure if the correct reaction should be one of concern or awe at this? Iâm going with the latter.
Not the sort of men who would let a substation go on fire.
You can work wonders with a slide rule and a propelling pencil.
That is clearly a man whoâs comfortable in his own boiler suit

Whilst sorting through albums of photos at deceased FiL / Step MiL house I found and squirrelled away this little gem.
Hel aged 8 or 9 giving the camera what she described as her attempt at an âimperious look of calmâ
Quite a challenge for an 8 year old
Most 8 year old girls I have met have been the bossiest people ever!

âKurt was really self-destructive. He went far beyond Pete Townsend smashing his guitar. He was pretty complicated. He could play really well, but he didnât want to play well because that wasnât punk rock. When I first met him he was talking about firing the drummer and the other guitar player and we were like âyeah, theyâre kind of messyâ, but we thought the songs were so good it didnât matter but for him it was like, no. He was a perfectionist. He took it really hard on stage, to the point where youâre not sure whatâs entertainment, whatâs real? It was always an interesting situation, because it makes the audience wonder, whatâs going on here?â

The day Muhammad Ali talked a desperate man down from a ledgeâŚ
âHe said he couldnât find a job, that he was depressed. He said his mother and father donât love him, that nobody loves him. I told him I love him or I wouldnât be there. He said, âWhy do you worry about me? Iâm nobody.â I told him he wasnât a nobody. Iâm going to help him go to school, buy him some clothes. Iâm going to go home with him to meet his mother and father. They called him a nobody, so Iâm going home with him. Iâll walk the streets with him and theyâll see heâs big. He saw me weeping and he couldnât believe I was really doing that, that I cared that much about him.â
