I then remembered a square root that AMADEUS gave me in that control room in TOTNES...

24x24=584

TOMLINSON found out what had happened...that my number was 584 and told me that every time he was to abhort and eat my babies...he would add another number 585, 586 etc...to punish me for breaking into the 'circle of power'.

I suppose AMADEUS gave that number code to me because it was my age at the time...much younger than LAING...24 years old.

I then thought about SURDS...the maths involved...and remembered how JACQUI's year had a project around THEATRE OF THE ABSURD...this had to be a mathematical reference AB-SURD...from the SURD...

...and last night I had an odd dream of getting rid of all of my old clothes and shoes whilst in TOTNES...I had bags and bags of 'rubbish' that I had carted down, all the way to TOTNES...stuff that I would never wear again...I went through it all and I only had one pair of shoes which were 'wearable'...they were some 'already worn out' black satin Chinese slippers...that I had bought from an 'ethnic shop' whilst living in TOTNES...they were the only things that I was to keep...now this is all true...it happened in real life...

Anyway, JACQUI and JO were to do the same one evening...with all of their old clothes/shoes...LAING was to report to me that she had seen them very drunk...late at night...in front of the main student pub but just over the road, throwing themselves into each other's arms and kissing each other, declaring how much they loved each other...over about 10-20 black bin liners of 'stuff' which they hadn't dared to leave on the High Street outside of their own flat and so had shifted down the road a bit...so one can can guess that 'relief was palpable' after getting rid of a massive amount of programming items?

Secondly, a lot of their accumulated 'stuff' was from the WARDROBE of the theatre department...MARIA the Polish woman (who had once worked on a Derek Jarman film) was tipping it all out...so that she had room for new stuff, for new productions...and the students at college, had a field day...picking over all of these weird and wonderful clothes that had been made in MARIA's department...
