Michael Wilson was the drummer in DDDBMT. 

Dave Dee the frontman, David Harman was a cadet policeman who was first at the scene of Eddie Cochran's crash, Trevor Davies was bassist Dozy, John Dymond was guitarist Beaky as he had a big nose, Ian Amey was guitarist Tich.

The proper saying is that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. OK?

The climate is changing.  Getting colder, overall, likely for the next couple of decades.  Because of less solar activity. A natural cycle.  Like it or not, we are TOTALLY dependent upon the Sun.

 

Our genetic make-up which naturally and gradually evolves with changing environment is being confronted by sudden environmental changes and deliberate synthetic modification by madcap scientists who allocate to themselves the rights of divine intervention.

Industrialists are poisoning us and our environment by the perennial introduction of unimaginable quantities of synthetic chemicals and high levels of radiation of kinds never previously encountered.

 

Those in positions of power who think they know best (but clearly do not when judged by results) are progressively closing down channels of communication to the querying of official narratives.
They wish to reduce our numbers, which is well underway except in Africa, because they cannot accept a global organisation that would permit current levels of population, because not seen as commensurate with their own self-interest.
They know that individuals alone are powerless to resist.  We derive our strength and meaning from the society we inhabit.  Hence the need to destroy cultural identities in favour of an amorphous mass of a-social, a-moral, and potentially violent individuals.

 

Regarding your bread, do you use commercial flour or grind your grain?  One never knows what 'improvement agents' they put in commercial foodstuffs these days.  Even whole grains grown "conventionally" will contain traces of glyphosate, an antibiotic [literally: anti-life].  In years past I baked my own bread, naturally leavened (no yeast, not even wild ones) from organic grain freshly ground by myself.  Best tasting bread ever eaten.  Very different taste.  Heavy, a couple of slices made a meal.  Left overnight to rise, covered with cloths over a large saucepan of hot water; the time taken to rise could be variable.

Just chalk it up to climate change. It's the go to cause for anything. 5555🤣😂

I don't like it.

Speaking of flour, I wish I had some of that great flour they use to make buckwheat noodles in Nagano Japan, and in some other cities in Japan.

 

Anytime one might be feeling as if we are overly dependent upon the sun, for energy, and when this fact might get us down, probably due to the comorbidity of constipation...

 

My advice is to just eat a large platter of buckwheat noodles in the morning, together with that wonderful sauce that compliments it so much.

 

Try this once each morning, and you will soon feel right as rain.

I order buckwheat groats from Good Karma here in Thailand and then generally mill it into flour with a manual milling machine (a good one but hard work).  Miss the electric one purchased in Europe to bring out here, but then left behind to keep luggage within weight restrictions.  Buy groats rather than flour because of better shelf-life in a damp climate.  Use mainly to make pancakes (traditional for Breton pancakes), chapattis, and the occasional cake.

 

Was first introduced to buckwheat in the mid-1980s, when a volunteer in an alternative cancer centre.  Only 'gluten-free' grains were consumed there:  buckwheat, millet, rice, and 'cornflour' (maize).  Buckwheat and millet were lightly grilled to crack the grains before adding water and boiling.  Rapid preparation.

 

The doctor in charge held that common allergens should be removed from the diet because allergic reactions over the long term weaken the immune system, and a weakened immune system can lead to the development of tumours from the innumerable cancer cells we constantly produce.  But which a well-functioning immune system rapidly destroys.  And, yes, she also laid great stress on a healthy well-balanced intestinal flora and short bowel transit time.  Lacto-fermented foods, organic produce whenever possible, and avoidance of ultra-processed junk.

Well, explosive diarrhea might yield a very short bowel transit time.

 

Anyway, I will look for some buckwheat groats.

However, I prefer to just order it for breakfast in noodle form in Japan on a winter's morning in the snowy mountains of Nagano.

 

Those noodles were very fresh.

 

I really miss being in the mountains of Japan.

Yes, diarrhoea is the manner the body discharges toxins from the intestines.

Suppressing the symptom can have adverse effects; similarly to unnecessarily suppressing a fever can lead to paralysis from a polio infection (fortunately now rare but could recur).

Before the War a standard medical treatment for dysentery was to administer opium to stop the diarrhoeia.  Result: a high mortality rate.  Latterly I believe there is more accent on replacing lost fluid.  [source:  The Manual of Tropical Medicine I possessed when in TPNG]

 

The internet allows anyone the opportunity to hack anything connected to it. May not be easy, but with enough effort and guile everything is vulnerable - and these days hacking is no longer about fun but has been monetised and politicised. The whole rotten edifice will one day fall just like the world trade centre. Invest in spears and hoes.

I too have a yeast problem. Started after my last night out on soi  lk metro.

My glass still half full, although, tried making Chickpea pasta, first time, that was a huge failure.

 

AI, virtual world, can't say, as don't much attention to it, if any.  GPS & photo editing is the extent of my tech world.

 

Even got an itch to buy something, peeking at another EV, but all seem to be impractical (lateral buy) or just frivolous.   Not a bad to be.  

 

I'm still sucking air and waking up every morning, so there's that
