Market Overton - 17th Century Window!

Market Overton: 17th Century Window! (6.11.2025)

What is now the dining area – where I set-up my study space – was probably once part of the garden. Therefore, the window itself was once considered the height of building technology. In those days, draughts from blowing winds were a major issue. The frame of this window is firmly embedded in the wall-structure so that no wind can penetrate. The cement and plaster hold it robustly in place – whilst its relatively small surface area allows for strength and stability. As glass was not as strong then as it is now – the panes of glass used were far-smaller – with each held in-place by its own frame. Furthermore, and a feature I like, is the central pane that possesses a stout hinging and opening and shutting mechanism. Even today – this design still retains much of its original strength – whilst being now inside the house means it is now better preserved.

UK: Visiting Haytor – Dartmoor National Park! (17.4.2025

We were committed to traversing directly up before we fully appreciated the difference. Nevertheless, hundreds climb Haytor every week – with wild Dartmoor ponies wandering around the car-park area. These animals may – or may not – come over for a stroke, but visitors must be careful not to be bitten, head-butted, or kicked, etc. This does not happen very often – but wild animals should be respected. Another issues are yapping dogs (which must be kept on leads). As matters transpired, there was one or two calm and sedate ponies that wanted to be stroked and petted, etc. The general experience is important for children – particularly those from city areas – to re-connect with nature and experience the feeling that the immensity of nature – wide-open spaces – can generate! I last visited probably about 20-years ago with Gee – but our two children not yet born.

Post Office in Desert - Inner Mongolia!

Inner Mongolia: China’s Most Remote Tengger Desert Post Office [沙漠邮局]! (14.4.2025)

“There are some things that a person must experience in the process of growing up, and as people we may have to suffer individual losses, suffer a little here and there, and take a detour – perhaps to better places. When in a state of crying and breaking down, if students could receive a handwritten postcard from the depths of the desert, it would be an expression of warmth and companionship that we can give.”

Alek Yerbury - Das Fuhrer!

UK: Email – Alek Yerbury Vs Robert the Farter! (3.2.2025)

As a former Squaddie in the British Army, would you order such flatulent bastards to be shot on sight? Would they be shot in the arse-hole? Is passing wind from the anus – tantamount to a “sexual offense”? Where do you draw the line? Where do you stand on this issue – bolt-upright – I hope! Of course, we understand this might be a sensitive issue for you – as many of your public speeches have been described (by the liberal press) as “farting into a bucket”. We are also aware that the surname of Katy – “Fanning” – was ordered changed by yourself due to its association with a swear-word associated with the female never-regions. Now, Katy is known as “Paris” – after the city in which you lost your virginity – allegedly.

The Engine Looks Better in a Nissan Leaf!

How Somali Pirates “Disappeared” the “SV Theros” – and How the Media “Obscures” using Facts! (23.7.2024)

Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg has stated “Being Green is a life-Changing – and sometimes life-Ending – experience! We cannot allow a simple thing like death to get in the way of pursuing a faith-based environmentalist cult!” I am sure we all support Greta in wishing the families of the victims well – emphasising that any tears shed – should be absorbed using ethically sourced materials. The French government was unavailable for comment.

DPRK Drops Rubbish Over ROK Border!

DPRK: ROK “Trash” Counter-Measures Suspended! (4.6.2024)

From the night of May 28th to the dawn of June 2nd, 2024 we scattered 15 tons of wastepaper – the favourite toy of the human scum that live over the border areas of the ROK – and its capital region – with more than 3,500 balloons of various sorts.

We made the ROK clans experience how unpleasant it feels when they dump rubbish over our borders – and how much effort is needed to remove the scattered wastepaper.

We are going to halt wastepaper scattering over the border temporarily – as our action was a countermeasure in response to the poor behaviour of the ROK.

If the ROK clans resume their anti-DPRK leaflet scattering – we will correspond to it by intensively scattering wastepaper and rubbish – a hundred times the amount of scattered leaflets, as we have already warned.
