.....and what else, dazzlenation?...well, why somebody had thought it was 'penguins' - i'm not entirely sure....but anyway....the order of the thistle, anybody?....you step on a thistle - you'll pay for it etc etc......go figure:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Thistle
additionally, remember 'crunchy nut cluster' breakfast cereals?....the original had been a health food - was it jordan's etc etc....it was called 'granola' at any rate...oats, honey and almonds....go figure:
....and er...oh this is weird....an alleyway but also an allusion to a 'tunnel' perhaps?
X marks the spot....st giles and cafe nero - 'red google balloons'....hmmm...all vaguely 'deja vu'...."they'd wanted to remember cafe nero" replies BI online...who, exactly - those that had been 'jumped' in that alleyway, i suppose....go figure:
with a sidelong glance at underground at GIG central mining institute....remember that tunnel underground - which tapered off....got narrower and narrower as the ceiling got lower......a bit like a pyramid shape but sideways....where the explosives had been put....and then as the tunnel got wider....a paper wall (some sort of 'filter') across it....and upon the other side - boxes of 'dust' (see previous notes upon the 'birds eye custard factory' explosion)....and then back outside above ground....to view it all from the watchtower....'the big bang' no less.....with a party of japanese businessmen - who enthusiastically thanked the institute's staff after the 'show' etc etc....having seen a massive fireball exit the tunnel and hurtle down the railway track etc ..go figure:
and so what was the story behind etc etc:
hmmm...not forgetting the poisonous gas left behind - after the explosion, down the tunnel....the boss' most senior scientist/colleague had lost his life after opening the door from the control room to the experimental area, too quickly - after the explosion had happened....go figure:
and the historical note is all about the plague and poisonous gases....hmmm...i've been recently reading turn of the 20th century short stories....circa 1900s....to find out that there was a huge concern about 'miasma' i.e. the effluence from the marshes and from the sewers....reminds me of clacton, nowadays....regarding the drains....the sewers and stagnant pools of 'horror'....as a cyclist, after a rainfall....you can smell it....quite overpowering....and in my flat - i have to put down bleach every week....just like in hospitals - to clear that terrible smell...nothing else gets rid of it....as it goes, eh?
