John Boy

My soul is like a shepherd,
Knows the wind and the sun,
And goes hand in hand with the Seasons
To follow and to listen.

@simon__roberts Just finished Hat and your Ballard stream. Very interesting and such a reminder of the man. Plus a nipple! Will there be more nipples this pm?

@AlexWynnAshwood @CyEdmunds Excellent answer! The Egyptians were very skilled at treating head trauma and even knew about the cerebrospinal fluid pulse.

@AlexWynnAshwood There were two words for heart in AE one was ‘h3ty’ which means something like what is in front of the chest and the other was ‘ab’ which was the psycho-spiritual heart. It was the a which was weighed against the feather of ma’at in the underworld.

@BeyondNileHQ Because he had the dual role of god of embalming and was in charge of the scales in the judgement scene

@AlexWynnAshwood The systematic ordering of Chapters did not appear till the Saite period (26th dynasty) although some of the versions often quoted are Ptolemaic. But it is believed that there must have existed master versions from which people chose their favorite chapters.

@NoContextBrits A properly shaped plate.

@Ma_Mostafa12 False door.

@Frank_K5 @HaFsA_2050 What is it?

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@simon__roberts @Paul_Heron_ It is nice to have J G Ballard back in my life, having read a lot of him in 80's and 90's I had forgotten what an insightful author he was, it all started for me with the Gollanz edition of 'The Terminal Beach' which I read in (probably) 1969.

@Kingbingo_ Two years in the slammer with Russel Brand …it’s inhumane.

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@GBNEWS We banned it in 1807 …is that time bound enough?

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@infinitehorus @simon__roberts @Lowlife_Hat Is that actually a cow, or an artist in a cow suit?

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@tonyfuo Would've.

@simon__roberts She’s no Marianne Faithful.

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@MillennialWoes Jesus was born in a manger ... so he's obviously a cow.

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@infinitehorus Personally myself as an Englishman I do like to feel I really do run the world. Ok the evidence that this is so, is scanty and hard to find. But I don’t think this should dent our faith in ourselves.

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@MillennialWoes Obviously the schools need a lick of paint so ….riots and looting.

[John Boy @forgodssake65]

@simon__roberts @skulthorp I worked in social housing in the late 90’s when ‘place’ became the buzz word. Even now I cringe at ‘placemaking’ as a term. There were organizations which renamed themselves from their former sensible names to things like ‘places for people’ and ‘great places’. All a bit mad.

@simon__roberts @infinitehorus @Lowlife_Hat Massive Horus fan but I like boiled potatoes….what the hell am I going to do now?
