Introduction.
Somewhere Else is a collection of dreams and meditations over a
one year period. Each verse is one dream or one meditation that I
have remembered and described in verse to the best of my ability.
These surreal abstractions are often very surprising and they
reveal an unusual angle in which to see a place that is not here.
REVIEW
"This novel is, A,A,A. A,B,C. There is not even a word to describe
it!"

"Come on, it's only two pounds fifty." Urges Mark in a persuasive
tone, but I am undecided, although I think that it is a good idea to
get out. I am vaguely aware of another event that is on. I do not
know what this event is and I cannot make my mind up about
where to go.
Rupert Holt had something to do with all of this, but I just could
not work it all out, it was a mystery to me and so I had just made
myself aware of everything around me. I remember Mick Boldham
being there also, but for the life of me, I just could not work it all
out.
Previously I had seen the vicar. He was dressed in black with his
white dog collar on. He was with two large monkeys. One of the
monkeys had jumped on the vicar. It must have been almost as big
as the vicar himself. Nosily I was looking, I watched them overtly
as I walked past. I laughed at such a spectacle and so the vicar
informed me, he said to me, "He doesn't want to leave me."
Yo yo yo,
ching ching ching,
get a load of this.
Sing, sing, sing!
(Verse 13) The Great Master And Baby Maker Opens The Doorway.
At this show I am talking to this man who makes wild claims. "I am
a great master and I will put on a show." He says. Sure enough
something happens. It is like a great vortex that comes down near
to us and a doorway opens up which leads us into a bright world.
So the man gets up off his dull bed where he has been resting for
ages and goes through into the vortex door to deliver his show
into the next world of bright light.
"Well I will be going home soon. I think that I will put my feet up
and relax a little and what will you be doing? Oh yes, you will be
working your act : )" I tell her, as I look for a reaction from her. I
look deep into her face, but she is too cool to give a reaction.
There is no reaction. There is just a glint of awareness in her eyes,
a little smile and a silent determination to prepare for her show. I
am attracted to her at this moment, as I am ogling her young and
attractive face. I empathize with her and the effort that she will
need to make her act work. I feel for her, my heart goes out to her
now, in this silent moment of preparation.
There becomes a very bright light that shines into this room
through the window, so I look outside and I see a helicopter
landing. This is no ordinary helicopter because it resembles a
Rhinoceros. This is no ordinary landing because it lands as though
the Rhinoceros is running along in a curve and then to stop. This
man gets out of the Rhinoceros helicopter. I don't know who he
is? I don't know what is going on outside, but it is very busy.
"Let's have a look." the man replies and with that, to my surprise,
the thermometer is a bottle of beer and the man is drinking from
it!
I need to use the toilet and so I make my way through the clutter
of machinery in search of a toilet. I notice a small room with blue
patterned tiles so old as to be Victorian. 'Is that where the toilet is
or is it a kitchen?' I am thinking, 'Yes this is the toilet, but I am not
going to be able to use it. I really need to wake up.' I am still stood
there for a while trying to make my mind up. 'No, seriously, I need
to wake up and go to the toilet!'
So later on Brian May walks over to me, but it's not Brian May. It's
just someone who looks a lot like him and he says to me in a
broad Yorkshire accent, "A think tha plays guitar dunt tha?"
"Yes." I reply, as I look at his Brian Mayish face and I think. 'He's
not quite a Brian May.' I am also aware that this is a bit of a show
now and that there are hundreds of people listening and watching
me. It's like a talk show with Brian Mayish.
"Errr, 'O' I don't know?" I'm thinking, 'what have I said?' As the
audience laugh at my pondering. I feel a bit silly for a split second
and then I laugh with the audience at my hesitation. 'I think that
he was trying to be funny.' I conclude to myself.
Now I am back in town with the people. The busy shops and the
food bars, but I feel guilty. I am cautious as to what I say to people
now. I have left a dead man lying on the freeway. This is the man
that has helped me to survive and this is my guilty secret, but
what was I to do?

Well Jenny has now missed the boat to get back off the island and
so she is stranded on this island and running late. She has rung up
her tutor at college to inform her about the situation. I am waiting
in the car for Jenny to get off the island so that I can give her a lift
to college. When she finally appears I find myself struggling with
all her luggage. I am struggling to put all these bags into a single
trunk which has wheels on it. It makes sense to me to put all these
bags into a single trunk as the luggage will then be easier to
handle and so it all gets sorted out eventually.
There are some other people in this club that I know, but I end up
doing my own thing. There is a bus outside and I get onto that.
Maybe someone else I know will get onto this bus, but I am not
holding my breath. There are a few of us on this bus and the driver
drives it a little way and then stops at a more suitable place to
wait for some other people to get on. I don't even know where
this bus is going.
I see this other chap who I was on stage with earlier and I say to
him, "I have decided to get off the stage because I heard the word
'improvisation' and I thought that sounds a bit professional. I
thought that we might have to do Hamlet or something."
It had truly been fun, my time on stage. The stage was so big that I
didn't think that I would ever manage to walk off of it! But here I
am and I find myself in the stalls.
I am told that the military have gone mad, taking over its own
people. Taking over their shores, taking over their shorelines, deep
in the oceans, rivers and even rivers in oceans. This is what I am
told.
In the second half of the show Ant and Deck have people in the
street making faces in the icing on their iced buns by scraping
some of the icing off. One lad gets off to a bad start. He scrapes off
too much icing to begin with, but then he makes quite a good face
in the icing on the bun in the end.
I find myself in this dark room. There is this music playing and I
have my back against the speaker, which makes the music sound
different everytime I move my back. I position my back so that it
covers all of the speaker and the music comes out muffled. My
back is pulsating and vibrating now. The M.C. is cool and fast with
the rap lyrics. There is this young magician making things
disappear and then reappear with his slight of hand and I am told
about this chap whose brain was damaged by his own broken
shoulder blade!
(47) In Comparison.
I get called over by a service user's family member. She is a middle
aged woman. "Have you got any diesel?" She asks me. I'm
thinking, 'God, that diesel in there is very old.' I go to the fridge
and sure enough, there is a small 500ml bottle of diesel. I am
thinking that there might be some gunk floating on top of it by
now, so I shake it up well before handing it over to her. She opens
up the bottle and takes a sniff, "Yes, that's okay." She says
energetically. This is a relief for me. "I have had a three million
pound meal, all expenses paid." She says boasting in a matter of
fact kind of way. So I take a good look at her. She is not
overweight, although she has a sister with her who looks similar
and she is a little thinner. They are in their forties I guess as I check
out their desirability. 'Not bad' I surmise, as I imagine making out
with them. The first sister is slightly more desirable than the
second sister. Her skin complexion, her brown shoulder length hair
and her nicely proportioned body are all taken into account, as
well as her nice facial features that I have just emoconically read
through our brief encounter. : ) : o
:p :| ;)
(48) "Hello Is That The Police?"
"There is a robbery taking place. This woman knows what she is
doing. She has a small pistol on her and she is very organised.
There is a man in a light suit and he is not so organised. He also
has a pistol. He has big handfuls of paper money in both hands
and some of the money is falling out of his hands and floating
around to the ground like confetti. There is this bloke watching
and although he is slightly behind some cover, it is only a hedge
and he is watching this drama unfold intently. He is carmly stood
there with a frown on his face >:-\ He looks suspiciously confident.
He may be security or he may be involved in this robbery
somehow, I don't know." Bang! Bang! ... Bang! There are gunshots
as the two run off.
"The female suspect has been well hidden from me, but the male
suspect has been in full sight to me all the while. The only time I
have seen the female suspect was as she handed some notes over
to the male suspect. There may be more people involved, I don't
know, but I haven't noticed anyone else."
"My dad was playing football with me and he said, "Watch this, I'll
get John Coddington." At which point he booted a football and
blasted it at John Coddington. It was in this old house and I saw
the ball ricochet around the room after it had hit John. I don't
think that john was very happy about that because he looked to
be disappointed, although to be fair he did not say anything about
it."
"I have done some painting in a young girls room. I painted this
cloth with a picture on it. I half filled the picture in. I think that her
room is an orange colour scheme and I painted the cloth in a more
chocolate brown colour, but being colourblind I am not too sure. I
think that my paintwork clashes with her colour scheme and so I
have hidden the half painted cloth by folding it up and tucking it
away. I felt guilty about this and I am worried that she is going to
find out soon. Being the brave person that I am, I plan to just deny
it. I have already distracted her from finding out a couple of
times."
"Barbara and Les have been travelling. They have come back and
have planned to go away again, but because they owe some
money out they are having to stay put here in this country now,
poor souls."
(53) There Are No Strangers Now.
I've got no roof and the rain comes in. There are many others who
live in this field and they have no roof too. The field is sodden,
there are big big puddles as deep as your waist. TV's and furniture
are all wet through. It's a washout.
The strange thing is that I meet old friends who I have never seen
before. I watch these people and their mannerisms which are
familiar to me now and yet I have never seen them before. I know
things about these people and yet I have never seen them before.
How can it be that the people who I have never met before are
not strangers?
There are two brothers, one of them likes golf, I know this. I listen
to their conversations and they are familiar to me. I look at their
faces and I know them you see and yet I have never seen them
before. A past life familiarity is so much apparent to me now as
my memories from my previous selves come flooding back to me.
My memories pour down into me, into a storm of remembrance.
It floods my mind then with these thoughts I find that I've got no
roof and so the rain comes in, the rain has truly come in!
(58) I Am Choked!
I cannot get this holographic game to start up, but then some kind
person comes to my aid and shows me how to start this ruddy
thing up. I am playing this holographic game in my sleep which is
the only way that I will play it because I don't play it when I am
awake. There are these dinosaurs and they are wandering around
in our three dimensional space. They are about as big as a small
dog. They are so real and they are ugly buggers too. The idea is to
spray them in their face, up their nose, in their eyes and in their
mouth. They will then eat themselves from their head first and
then down to their tail. I am really wrestling with this one. I keep
spraying it in its face, but it still won't eat itself and at the same
time the spray is going into my face too. I think that I must have
eaten myself because suddenly it is 'game over' as I wake up too
late, just as I swallow my own tail!

There is a young lass in a bikini and she is very pretty. She is in this
swimming pool that represents the sea. It is like a map of the
world with its islands that simulate the world map. This lass is
serving on a ship which is about the same size as her as she is
languid on it in her bikini she is sent to one of the islands in the
pool and this island is Argentina. I am there with Dean Wilson and
Michael Richards. Me and Dean are watching her from the side of
the pool and we are watching the world go by as we are chatting.
Michael is in the shower which is located just on the edge of the
pool behind a door just big enough for one person. Me and Dean
are standing there and we watch Michael as he proudly comes out
of the shower in his speedos looking neat and trim. He confidently
swims up to the pretty young lass, but she grabs hold of Michael's
big swimming goggle and she pulls it on its elastic and she pings it
in his face. Michael is shouting at her asking her to stop and there
is splashing and a frantic display from Michael. I turn to Dean and
in a surprised tone I say to him, "She's beating him up." We are
astounded. Michael is pleading to the pretty young girl to stop and
he is trying to calm her down, but she is nasty and unrelenting.
It is all getting heated and people are going crazy. Little things that
are said and done are being picked up upon. There is limited food
about now, although I manage to find some bread cakes with jam
in them. They have been stored in a brown paper bag and I am
careful not to be accused of stealing them. I am talking to Charles
and he has got it in for someone as he confides this information
with me as we are walking along. Someone is shouting their head
off in the distance and Charles has taken an exception to this.
"Who was that?" I ask and with that this other chap smiles and
tells me that it is someone singing some song from two thousand
and three. This chap recognises the tune. It all seems to make
sense to him, but now I notice that Charles has gone off. He is not
talking like he was, all since this chap has started talking to me. I
am guessing by
Charles's reaction that he does not like this man.
Oooops! Did I just imply that I hope my sister does not get eaten
because it would kill the very thing that would try to digest her?
Yes, I did. Yes, I definitely think that I did say that : )
I find myself at this party. The guests are all in fancy dress. I am
fascinated with one person who is throwing bits of paper, because
a bit of paper lands on me and I trace it back to them. They have
this massive head mask on with a great big nose. It looks so
lightweight sat on this persons head. I guess that it is made from
foam rubber. They could be male or female, I just don't know, but
they are oblivious to me as they are sat chatting with their friends
just above me on the veranda. Everso's sister makes an
appearance, she comes up to me chatting away to me. She has a
white face of makeup and her blonde hair is held back by her
yellow hair band. She looks like a very theatrical Alice in
Wonderland. She tells me that she is living here where the party
is. I try to engage with her, but for some reason tonight I am at a
loss for words. It is only now, by identifying the exaggerated
features of the headmask, that I realise who the person is in the
headmask.
The idea is to draw as many circles as you like in such a way that
when the area within the circles circumferences are coloured in,
the areas are of equal sizes. Some examples:
circles(a,b,c)
a=number of circles
b=number of colours
c=number of circle sizes
EXAMPLE 1:
A circle within a circle.
circles(2,2,2) {x^2+y^2<r is colour1,
x^2+y^2<r/2 is colour2,
where r=radius squared}
EXAMPLE 2:
A circle within a circle, within a circle, within a circle.
circles(3,3,3) {x^2+y^2<r, is colour1,
x^2+y^2<(2r)/3, is colour2,
x^2+y^2<r/3, is colour3,
where r=radius squared}
EXAMPLE 3:
A circle within a circle, within a circle, within a circle.
circles(4,4,4) {x^2+y^2<r, is colour1,
x^2+y^2<(3r)/4, is colour2,
x^2+y^2<r/2, is colour3,
x^2+y^2<r/4, is colour4,
where r=radius squared}
EXAMPLE 4:
A circle within a circle, within a circle, within a circle.
circles(4,2,4) {x^2+y^2<r, is colour1,
x^2+y^2<(3r)/4, is colour2,
x^2+y^2<r/2, is colour1,
x^2+y^2<r/4, is colour2,
where r=radius squared}
PROBLEM 1:
circles(a,b,c)
a=number of circles
b=number of colours
c=number of circle sizes
Give values for a,b and c where circles(a,b,c) has no solution and
prove that it has no solution.
PROBLEM 2:
x-1 circles within a circle.
circles(x,x,x)
x=number of circles
x=number of colours
x=number of circle sizes
Find a clear notation where the number of circles equals the
number of colours which in turn also equals the number of circle
sizes. Examples one, two and three are clues to this problem.
PROBLEM 3:
A circle intercepting another circle of equal size.
circles(2,3,1) {?}
clue:
circles(2,3,1) {circle1[+ve sqrt(r-x^2),-ve sqrt(r-x^2)],
circle2[+ve sqrt(r-[x-A]^2),-ve sqrt(r-[x-A]^2)],
circle1-intersection is colour1,
circle2-intersection is colour2,
intersection is colour3,
where r=radius squared,
A=translation along the x axis }
Find the value of A.
So these items are buried now for good. I took a deep trowel and
pierced the earth into a deep tunnel of a hole and in went the
items. I showed Jenny before I put these items down the hole but
Jenny was not happy because the toy pig was not included in
these items and telling Jenny that I had already hidden the toy pig
did not help.

"No I am serious." The man behind the desk reassures me. "And
be prepared for a cleaning revolution." He says as if he is some
kind of great prophet seeing into the future, while he hands me
some new plexi glass for my computer screen together with the
layers of the thin transparent pages.
"Cox." I reply.
"You're not a boxer are you? Because boxers called Cox are
unstable." I am interested to hear this because I believe what I am
being told here. "Yes boxers called Cox are unstable and women
who are pregnant who are called Cox are stable." She goes on in a
matter fact kind of way and I am taking this all in because I believe
what I am told.
I am back home for tea now with my mum and my sister Sue,
"What's for tea then?" I ask them both.
Sue replies, "We've got candles and a duck!" As she watches my
reaction to her reply.
"Aye!" She and my dad snap back with frowns and glares.
"Yeah." I reply positively and surprised that she would ask me such
a question. There is newspaper on the floor and the seamen is
splashing on the newspaper as a pale sky blue water colour paint
until there is a puddle down there splashing out circular ripples of
pale sky blue water paint.
We are at this large white concrete building. There are two railway
lines which come to buffer stops in the grounds of this building.
There are hundreds of us who have trespassed onto this land. I
climb up onto the roof of this large white concrete building there
are two other lads already up there on the roof. There is another
concrete white wall on the roof where the building goes up even
higher and in this white wall there is a window with a thick
insulated wire coming out of it. One of the lads pulls the wire
several times and the window eventually opens up. I am surprised
as I watch the two lads climb into the window and disappear into
this big white building. I am thinking, 'They are in big trouble if
they get caught inside that building!' I decide to climb down off
the roof and as I look around I see that there are hundreds of
people milling around, trespassing in the grounds of this building.
Dark figures in dark clothes, moving around hundreds of them in
contrast to the white grounds of this white building as the sun
shines on the brilliance of the brilliant white concrete. I see a lass
with her phone out and I wonder if she is some kind of official
calling security. I don't even know what this building is.
There is a child who is giving me some cheek. "You're fat sir. God
look at how fat you are." He says as he shows me a disgusted
facial expression. I look down at myself and I think to myself. 'I'm
not that fat. I might not be as thin as I used to be, but I'm not that
fat.' With one hand I grab hold of both of this lads lapels and
everytime he gives me some cheek, without letting go of his lapels
my index finger of that hand pokes him under his chin. But I am
careful because he is a child and I am an adult. I could
permanently disable him with one hand tied behind my back. I
would never do that, but he keeps on giving me cheek. So with
minimum force I keep poking him under his chin everytime he
insults me.
"I'm not brilliant." I confess to him and I find myself going through
a few Mathematicians names in my head:
The radius of the front cog that is joined to the peddles is from
point q on the circumference of the front cog to point u at its
spindle.
The radius of the back cog that is joined to the back wheel is from
point s on the circumference of the back cog to point t at its
spindle.
The circumference of the back wheel is from point p to point p.
The circumference of the back cog that joined to the back wheel is
from point s to point s.
The ratio of the gears is the circumference of the front cog divided
by the circumference of the back cog. This will give the number of
times the peddles rotate in comparison to the number of times
that the back wheel rotates.
Hertz equals the number of times per second that an event takes
place. ie. One hertz may be the single rotation of the back wheel
in one second.
Question 1:
How many hertz will the back wheel spin at to get to seventy five
kilometres per hour where circumference p equals one meter?
Question 2:
How many hertz will you have to peddle at to get to seventy five
kilometres per hour where circumference p equals one meter and
the ratio of the gears equals 2:1?
Squeeze Box.
"No, but it's good to get away from here." He replies to be cool
about this trip to France. I smile at Mark's remark. It's not like
France is a million miles away from England. It is just a train ride
under the English channel, through the channel tunnel and then
we are there, but it is a totally different culture in France. This is
mainland Europe with totally different languages and I too am
glad to be getting away from what I perceive to be the over
familiar way of life in England.
This man with a white van is now doing something on the grassy
area. I do not know what he is doing, but he is making a do, do do,
do, do do, noise. I have things out of my van strewn across this
grass and I am not comfortable here now. This man is
unpredictable. He is a knob head.
'God, these women are pissed off. They must have had some bad
service in the past to react like this. I am new here, It's not like I
have given them a bad service in the past.' I go and look at my
milk trolley. It is nothing more than a hand cart on wheels. I pull
the handle and the trolley tips over. There is a smash! Milk and
broken glass line inside my trolley and helplessly I wonder what I
can do. I look up and I see a man sprawled on the grass and I
notice that he has a tube of glue next to him. It looks like this man
is out of it. He is not aware of me, or anything as far as I can tell. It
is just then that I remember that I do not work any more. I have
handed my notice in. 'So why have I turned up for work today?' I
find myself wondering to myself. It is just then that I realise that
no one will miss me if I just walk away. No one will ever know that
I turned up for work and then just walked away from it and so that
is what I do. I just walk away.
In contrast there are two girls playing football with each other. We
watch the video of them later and we notice the fouls and the hair
pulling. In slow motion the camera zooms in, into the hand grabs
of locks of hair and into the pushing and pulling as the girls tackle
each other and compete with each other aggressively. The nasty
cows.

"If that is what you are concerned about then it shows that you
are on the correct lines in your chemistry experiment." Concludes
my chemistry teacher. He goes on to talk about being in prison.
'Well he doesn't mind admitting to being a convict in prison.' I
think to myself and I further wonder what it is like to be in prison.
I consider asking him a question or two about his prison caper as I
am looking at him thoughtfully and at the same time I am not
listening to a word that he is saying to me. In the end I do not ask
him about his prison life and then our attentions are diverted
when I suddenly find that I myself am somewhere else.
Things have settled down now and the four of us find ourselves in
the aircraft as before as if nothing has ever happened. This
Geordie bloke with his broad Geordie accent starts chatting. He
tells me that I am quiet. I say nothing, I just aknowledge him with
a nod. He goes on talking about his marriage and how wonderful
it is. He talks about all the opportunities that he has had with
other women and about how faithful he is to his wife. I believe
him. He talks honestly with such love and compassion for his wife.
'He has had more luck with women than me.' I think to myself as I
quickly reflect on my non existent love life, but it is what it is and I
am quite happy with my life and the way that it is, here in this
aircraft with three other winners as I tidy up some mess on the
floor and sweep it up with a pan and brush.
"They don't say anything, they are dead." I answer her smiling at
her and wondering why she is asking me such an obvious
question. She is embarrassed now, but we keep talking and the
subject moves on. She is a nice lass and I enjoy our conversation,
but I do feel like there is something that I am just not getting here.
We are all out of the swimming pool now. The two lovely ladies
and myself are walking back through the streets with Mr Mandal
from the swimming pool in the garage to go back home. "Here
carry this!" Mr Mandal snaps at me, in an annoying tone. I grab
hold of some yellow wet proof clothes that he hands over to me
and I notice that some of them have press studs on them. So I am
attaching these yellow water proof clothes together with their
press studs. As I am doing this I am walking the streets with the
two lovely ladies and Mr Mandal. Some of these yellow water
proofs do not have press studs on them, but I manage to press
stud three jackets together. One of the jackets has a double press
stud on it which can take two press studs. One jacket joined at the
front of this stud and another jacket pressed into the back of this
stud. So that I have three yellow water proof jackets that are
joined together by press studs. "What are you doing with those
jackets?" Mr Mandal interrupts my concentration and I do not like
his tone. In fact I have not liked his tone all night.

(Verse 132) A New Now.
I see Tomo and Sean Crab. They are 'the new bright and breezy.' as
we all sit down, we all talk with a new nounosity and verbosity,
they blow on me. They blow me away. They have a new insight, a
new shiny attitude, an arresting behaviour. A brighter breezier way
about themselves as they engage with me they come across with
jokes and laughter. They are fun to be around and they have a lot
of new things to say to me. They demonstrate their new type of
energy. I liken it to the energy of up beat soap characters like they
have in 'Friends.' Well it all makes sense to me now. It all makes a
refreshing change and after they stop blowing on me and blowing
me away they explain their new way of life, I think that I get it
now. It is like an infectious laughter and I have got it now. I am
taking something away from all of this frivolity. I am taking
something away from this great encounter. They have truly found
a new form of consciousness that I am now only just becoming
aware of, because this is the new now and now I have just entered
the new now.
I watch as an old man throws a raft from one side of the river to
the other side of the river and it lands with a splash and it is all
moored up. The strange thing about this raft is that at first glance
it is made out of ducks who are all tightly packed together and
then at another glance this raft is made from onions all tied
together. This mysterious old man miraculously evades everyone
only to settle on his raft all moored up. He jumps onto his raft with
a flying leap of faith from the opposite side of the river bank!
"Auh! She's just prodded me." Anna's friend mocks my words and
prods me again. This is a little annoying, but also makes me feel
giddy. So I can not be too annoyed which is even more annoying.
So I am just stuck on this lift on the stairway in the building trying
to go for a walk because no one will talk to me and this lass will
not stop prodding me and mocking me, everything that I say. She
is a cheeky girl and she has all my attention now as I take a good
look at her in her sparkly pink jumper and her blue jeans and her
cheeky face with her determined stare that will not take her eyes
off me. And that fucking finger that will not stop prodding me.
(Verse 140) Where Do I Belong?
I am on military ground and I am riding on my push bike along a
worn dirt pathways. I am keen to avoid anyone as I am trespassing
on this military land. There is someone driving some plant
machinery clearing up rubbish that has been dumped here in the
grounds. It is in the distance, but I am keen to avoid them. I also
notice a military man on a push bike. He is wearing his camouflage
and I am too, but I am an impostor here on this military land. I
would not know how to address another soldier. 'Should I salute? I
don't even know what rank the other soldier is.' All these thoughts
are going through my mind when I spot another worn dirt track
that leads off this military ground and onto a public road which I
take.
So now I am off military land. I make my way into what looks like a
cafe area with its tables and chairs. It is very clean and tidy. I hear
this inner voice in me that tells me, 'don't be fooled by all the
leads and the table and this set up.' I suddenly realise that I have
sat at a table where factory staff jet spray water at dirty factory
food equipment. I feel like a fool sat here at a table wanting a cup
of coffee and I feel like I have been misled. So I pick up a couple of
items at this table and I walk off with them to make out that I
belong here and that I know what I am doing here. I do not want
to steal these items and so I rest them up against a wall before I
leave this area and head off back down the public road again.
I see Jenny on an off chance and we get chatting. I ask Jenny about
her daughter. "How's Nancy?"
"I'm meeting her in twenty minutes. I told you that!" Jenny snaps
back.
"Here she is!" Jenny with her jingly car keys in her hand points out
Nancy who has just arrived in her shiny new car down the road,
just across the way and so Jenny goes off to talk to Nancy.
"No Tom, Tom Webb." I keep insisting to Sally who is still not
listening properly.
"He paints oil paintings of sailing ships. Big canvases of tall sailing
ships with the big sails. You know." I look at Sally as I tell her this
and I inadvertently glance at an interesting picture that has been
drawn very intricately with fine ink pens of all different coloured
inks. Like thin lines of colourful swirls of intricate scribble.
"No Tom." And I half laugh at the unbelievable mix up that we are
having. This is a very difficult conversation.
(Verse 156) A Wall Of Essays.
There is a group of us and we are looking into ways of building a
wall. It is a specific wall. We use bricks without cement and just
place these bricks on top of each other in the best possible ways
that we can and then we write an essay about this. It is just one
short essay each using no more than one side of one sheet of A4
writing paper. There are three boards up on another wall where
we pin up these sheets of A4 essays. There are two square boards
with four essays pinned up on each of these square boards and
then in the middle of the two square boards there is a rectangular
board with four essays pinned up in a row. There is a panel of
people who scrutinise our essays and we have each of us invested
much time and thought into the possibilities of building a wall:

"Yes mum it's a bit much." I hear my sister back me up on this one.
I feel awkward now, but the quietness is so nice.
My mum and dad are watching television in the living room now. I
come down the stairs from my room to pass through the living
room. My mum is laughing and joking about what is on television
and I am pleased that she is back to being talkative again. It is nice
to hear her talk now and she is not being annoying anymore.
"No they are right here. They are always right here with me." And
with that the old man places three medals on my chest.
Later I wonder, 'Why have I been given these three medals?' And 'I
wonder why I never thought to ask the old man who gave me
these medals just exactly what they are for?
"Well they have said that they will not accept a one thousand Euro
note." Says this woman who looks at me down her nose at me. I
am starting to change my mind now as I look to see how many
two hundred and one hundred Euro notes I have. They are yellow
and white in colour respectively and so I think that I will be alright.
I think that I will have enough of these smaller denominations of
notes. The five hundred and one thousand Euro notes are blue
and pink in colour respectively. I am considering asking someone,
anyone in the queue if they can change five hundred and one
thousand Euro notes into one hundred and two hundred Euro
notes.

The [D]rocks fall down on your thousand mile ranch.
Chorus:
Verse 2:
[A]Avalanche, [C]avalanche,
The [D]rocks fall down on your two bit ranch.
Chorus:
I enjoy the words and the music to this blues song of the
legendary blues guitarist Kev Thorpe from Retford,
Nottinghamshire, England. I recite the words and the music for a
show that I will appear on in in a months time on 2nd September
2017. These words they seep into my consciousness and the music
works its way on through down into my very being. Like water that
soaks up into paper, my soggy mind dries off through my
sleepiness to reveal a paper mache morning mindfulness of a
bumpy solidity. An inky blotting dreaminess becomes dry, ready
for the next days layer of wet paper remembrance. I build up a
three dimensional musical form that I mould in my minds eye and
down through, into my heart.
"Did you have a good night?" I ask the man as he looks like he runs
some kind of mobile disco unit. He is a little slow to answer me, as
I can see that he is getting his thoughts together.
"Well you know, they are alright, but I didn't really get into it." I
decide that this lad is not as dodgy as I first thought that he might
be. I aknowledge his review of the night that he has DJ'd with a
smile and a nod. So we part company as I can see that he is busy
and I am going in the opposite direction.
"I'm coming to get you! The front doors are locked. The back
doors are locked. I'm having fun and I'm going to find you!"
As I taunt the girls. It is just a matter of time. I will find them all in
the end, but in the meantime it is such good fun being the adult
acting out as the demented one! I sing out my intension:
"My body's here to build a byrection!? And no ones going to stop
me!"
"If you do what you are told you end up with a half descent record
with the songs on it that they want you to play. So if you end up
selling millions of records you make two million, but the record
industry makes so much more money. For all the years of
rehearsing. For all the shows that you do. This is what you get if if
you do what you are told then this is what you get, a half descent
record."
"There is no set time for how long I can keep you in a head lock." I
tell him. He does not like my answer because he is crying with
frustration.
"How long are you going to keep me like this?" Asks Sean.
"About ... " I pause to consider his question. " ... Seven minutes."
Is my answer that I finally give Sean, even though there is no clock
and so I have no idea as to how long I can keep him in a headlock.

"I think that it is Russia, but I am not sure." I half inform my dad as
I am searching my mind for clarification.

_______
12 letters total.
where n! is n factorial
Number of combinations
= (12!)/[(3!)(3!)(2!)]
= (12x11x10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1) / (3x2x1 x 3x2x1 x 2x1)
= (12x11x10x9x8x7 x5x4) / (2)
= 11x10x9x8x7x6x5x4
= (11!)/(3!)
= 6652800
If I was to randomly shuffle the twelve letters of the word
availability and then lay those twelve letters out then the
probability that they would spell out availability is:
It is like there are two female ghosts who are sat opposite me. The
two ghosts are either side of the woman who I have had an in
depth conversation with and who is also sat opposite me and
travelling with me on this train. I know that they are ghosts
because I can see through both of them onto the upholstery of
the backs of the train seats that the two ghosts are sat in. They are
two female ghosts, they are quiet to start off with. There are just
the odd stark glances at each other, but they are tense spirits.
Suddenly there is an empty twenty cigarette pack that goes flying
from one ghost to another and the empty cigarette pack hits its
own reflection in the window. I watch as one of the ghosts passes
through the woman opposite me and the two ghosts begin to
argue with each other in the isle of our train as the train taps out
its signature on the train tracks as it speeds along: Tut her, tut her.
Tut her, tut her. "Just leave them to it!" I exclaim to the woman
opposite me and I watch her roll her eyes before she leans
forward and folds her arms on the table whilst trying to see
outside to make out the dark movements passing behind her
reflection in the train window.
(Verse 192) A Circle, A Square & A Triangle & A School Of
Performing Arts.
It is all about Toyah Wilcox. I get it. Three peoples obsessions.
There is a silhouetted geometry to all of this. The coming together
of a circle, a square and a triangle. There is the coming together of
three peoples passions. A chance meeting and I jump in at this
opportunity and I explain the situation. I explain about the
obsessions. I talk at great length about what is occurring and with
an intense passion of my own I find my voice. We are laughing and
joking and I cannot believe my luck. Who would have thought that
this would happen to me. That one day it would all come together
like this. That we would all click so well together and that I would
get to perform in a show with Toyah Wilcox. That I would really
get to perform her greatest album 'The Anthem.'

Fucking Christmas.
Adi -
"What do you think to my christmas song that I wrote?" I open up
my book full lyrics and chords to show Sally.
Sally -
"Is there a joke that comes with that?"
Adi -
'Why is she asking me if there is a joke that comes with my
Christmas song?' I think to myself. Then I remember an old
Christmas joke:
"What do you call the reindeer behind rudolph the red nosed
reindeer?"
Sally -
"I don't know."
Adi -
"Randolph the brown nosed reindeer." I look at Sally's
exspressionless face.
Sally -
"Oh Randolph."
Adi -
"Yes, but the main point here is that he has a brown nose.
Sally if I have to explain this joke to you then it's not funny."
Sally -
"I don't get jokes. Did you make that joke up?"
Adi -
"No someone told me it." I look at Sally's expressionless face and
she makes me laugh more than any joke could.
"No. I have never driven in reverse." She tells me, which surprizes
me in one sense but not in another sense. She is an unusual lady.
"Can I borrow your car?" I ask her forthrightly. She does not
exactly say yes but it is clear to me that she is okay with lending
me her car.
THE END.
Ripple says, "You know that disco booking, if you had taken that
booking then there would have been another disco booking
available as well."
"Oh no, I have done with DJing all these discos now. I've done too
many." I tell Ripple that I have moved on from the disco days as
fun as they were at the time.
"Of course you're not." The man replies. This is the first time that
he has spoken to me. I look across to him and I notice on the
inside of his driver's door the following writing:
Don't let it
get off T 4
you 2.
'What does this all mean?' I wonder to myself as only the dead
person that I am could do.
It all goes back to the trees that grow so fast. With branches that
spring. Like a trampolene we bounce on these branches up in the
air. This is so much fun, we bound without care. A family of people
we play on the wood. We splice it all up and the feeling is good.
"I say it is awfully nice out here, what." Says the woman who is
walking next to me in an old fashioned and over exagerated
English accent which startles me for a second.

"Yes well they don't want you to know about these sort of things,
do they." I am told by one of the secret service members.
For some reason I get an instinctive feeling that the person who
went on the run went over to Belgium to avoid the people like
these secret service members here in England. I am not saying
anything. I am not admitting to anything. I imagine a lonely
existence hiding out in a foreign country not understanding the
language. Restricted to a strict discipline of keeping out of
surveillance areas like banks, town centers, computers etc. I
imagine a sad lonely grufty man on the run unkempt, unshaven. A
tramp at their wits end. Living out their life in a rough existence,
but then what do I know?
"Oh now, we are only joking." Says Sally all concerned as she
rushes up to the young girl and leans sideways looking into her
face as she talks to her. "I daren't tell you that there's no fags for
you either." Says Sally in a joking kind of way.
'Sally is too kind.' I think silently to myself. 'And I would not want
to be responsible for giving cigarettes to a child.' I watch in
judgment as Sally shows off her inappropriate kindness to this
young girl. Sally is so sweet and I do not want to interject here,
but giving cigarettes to a minor is a bridge too far for me. This is
up to Sally not me and I am not getting involved, but what is she
thinking?
"Okay." I said and rolled over and went back to sleep for another
hour or two. Later that day we got the police involved. They found
my missing moped. It had been set on fire and it was a burnt out
mess. After some time I got a nice cheque from my insurance
company covering my loss.

A team of cyclists have just whizzed past. I hear someone say with
a slightly amused expression, "It's the band. The lead singer does
not know where to go." And I notice someone shouting out to
them and waving his hat in the air to get their attention, but they
went past so fast that they are a long way up the road now. I met
the lead singer earlier today. He is a young lad. He has a strong
Irish accent when he speaks. I do not know his name.

"I'll throw it away. Come on!" She says and we go off laughing and
joking and reliving the crash. She is so crazy and I am such a fool.
"Sally you are so much fun to be with and to die by your side, well
the pleasure and the privilege is all mine."
I rearrange the swiss rolls in the clear plastic packaging that they
came in. I try to look objectively at the packaging. Does that look
like I have not eaten a swiss roll? I feel guilty. Taking without
asking and then covering up my tracks. But my dad is not here and
those swiss rolls are so nice.
There are also pictures of my cousin Wendy and I try to work out
the household members who she lives with, but I am not sure and
I give up trying to work that out. The genealogical landscape of
our family is too vague for me to make sense of it.
(Verse 249) Entitled.
I find that I have two messages that I can understand: 'This is a
message to you.' Spelt out in hypertext and 'This is another
message to you.' Not spelt out in hypertext. These messages are
both simultaneously from Sally and from God at the same time. I
do not need to open the messages up and read them because just
by reading their titles I get the impression of the messages. I
understand where the messages have come from. It is with a
feeling and a knowing, just by reading the titles it all becomes
clear. The messages are more inexplicable and much more
eloquent than I could ever say. I get their meaning instantly, but
now that meaning has gone away.
"I don't know what's for your dinner but I know what's for my
dinner." He smiles as he tells me this. "I have not had anyone
around here for a month now." He confesses. I tell him a few
things about my life. 'It is good to catch up with old friends.' I think
to myself as I eat up my tuna and sweetcorn sandwich on brown
bread.
At ground level now I notice that Sally and this man are emptying
pool balls onto the pool table down stairs. A lot of the balls are
new and so I notice that the man is sorting the balls out and
accounting for them all.
Then Sally and I we go to sit down. We share a comfy chair
between us. She tells me what to do. "That is the strict teacher in
you coming out." I tell her. Sally is lovely. She is so small and so
cute and very girly too. I go to kiss her on her cheek. She is
embarrassed and unsettled and I feel clumsy as we both jiffle
about in the chair.

The Little Cartoon Character.
There is a little cartoon character who has got more integrity than
the rest. A little cartoon character who I have more respect for
than anyone else. Who can see all the injustice around them. Who
knows how it is all going wrong. This little cartoon character has a
different to all of the others. There is hope in my plight now you
see, for as long as this little character is around me. Who can see
that I am friendly and fair. That I am just caught up in the bias and
the prejudice. I have found my own little friend who will back me
up when all those around me who are against me and working in
fear. My only true friend in this world.
They may be little but they are strong. They may be a cartoon
character but they have learnt how to become so real. Somehow
their attitude is different. They have more integrity than the
others. They are so much fairer than the rest. This little cartoon
character can stand as a force of its own. This little cartoon
character is changing a culture on its own. So as the wheels of
America are turning there is a little cartoon character who is
changing America for the better. There is a little cartoon character
who is straight and is so true and so strong, as to change the
culture of a nation and so right what is surely so wrong. No one
will ever notice them. For they are little and out of sight, but they
make so much difference to a culture. They can make a great
nation change its course, to suddenly to become right over night.
So now a new day is dawning. There is hope now for me in this
life. That is only for this little cartoon character who nobody cares
to know. But they can change the ways of a great nation and still
they are working alone. In the back streets of a great nation. They
are forever, 'The Unknown.'
For some reason I need a curly cable that I anchor to a child's toy. I
run this cable up to a light in the ceiling, so that the light comes on
in the loo. Without knowing a young child twangs the curly cable
and the cable boings off its anchor. The child's mother and I laugh
about this and I apologise to her for the cable getting in the way.
Maybe I will get dressed now.
Here in Torquay.
This is my message.
This is my plight.
To make my way out,
of this unequal night.
I find my direction.
I find my way out.
To truly find out,
what I am about.

6 square faces.
8 vertices v=8
12 edges e=12
6 faces f=6
f+v-e=2
To put a bra on this cube is to draw lines at the mid points of every
edge. This will give six diamonds set into each square face
of this cube. This will result in eight cups that are tetrahedral in
shape and each of these eight cups cover each of the eight
vertices.

2 triangular faces
1 square face
1 hexagonal face
6 vertices v=6
8 edges e=8
4 faces f=4
f+v-e=2
And so to make this shape work there will have to be curved faces.
It might seem quite obvious in this example that it will have to
have curved faces but in more complicated examples this will not
be so obvious. By putting a bra on this shape we will draw lines
from the mid point of each edge to get a triangle opposite way up
to the triangle that it has been inset into. In this case there are
two triangles. There will be a diamond shape inset into the
square. The result of this is that there are now six cups, one
around each of the vertices. Four of the cups are tetrahedral but
two of the cups are triangular. It is the triangular cups that point
to the fact that this shape must have curved faces because it is a
two dimensional cup represented in a three dimensional space.
Questions:
Q1, What is the line length of all horizontal and vertical lines
with respect to x and y?
Q2, What is the maximum ratio y/x possible without overlap? Give
values for x and y.

(Verse 271) Biddy On The Ale And The Old Man On The Cart.
I think that I must have had a good time. I have been to some
great hotel and I can not even remember the visit. I vaguely
remember chatting to Sally. I am walking away now. I am in the
grounds of this great hotel, walking on the black tarmac to make
my way home. The grounds are massive and walking all the way
home is daunting to me.
"I feel like one of those people who lay down on the ground. Who
have sand spread all around them and then you get up and your
human shape is impressed in the ground. For then it to be filled in
with a different colour in order for it to be highlighted. Leaving a
floor that has your human shape in it."
I have only got one shoe on. I am looking for my other shoe. "I
have taken both my shoes off." The other lad tells me. The other
other lad who was with us before is in a room way on up ahead by
this time. So we are lagging behind now.
I am aware of the lady who we are doing this work for. She is such
a beautiful aspect. She is so trusting. She has so much trust in us.
So much so that I feel obligated. I feel that I am obliged not to
breach her trust in us. She is such a wonderful wonderful lady. I
feel that, and I would never ever want to ever let her down. I feel
that it is important to do a good job here, because we can prepare
for something so big here. It is not exactly known what that will
be, but we just know that we are on the verge. On the precipice of
something sooo, so big!
Adi Cox plays acoustic guitar and he sings mainly punk, new wave
and rock songs. He also writes and performs original songs. Adi
enjoys busking and open mic nights in the Torbay area since he
moved here in 2017. You can usually find him playing on
Odicombe beach in the early hours of each morning.
I have now got Sally's cola cubes and I am driving back in a car. I
have the things for the others on the expedition too. But the
traffic is horrendous. It has been raining and I can see cars sliding
up ahead on the slight bend of this fast road. So I decide to slow
down. I am so careful now but I can see cars losing control on the
opposite side of this road also and these cars are heading towards
me. Then it just goes silly:
