How about "OxetexO". It's spelled the same backwards and you can use "Tex" as your nickname. |

Make sure you purchase from the finest local artisan green grocers a pint of milk, bread and eggs to stock up your larder and fridge. |

A name was suggested a week or so ago as they had misread my name, and it sounded alright. I was thinking of changing it to Le renard de la campagne!  |

I've heard of a couple of songs by each of them. I used to dance around my friend's living room to Long Time Gone by Galliano in our late teens |

Just popping in quickly to say my 1st hello to all the other nocturnal fabbers. Usually can't fall asleep until at least 3am, often I'm still awake when it's getting light. Tonight I actually feel sleepy for a change, so going to get an early (for me) night.
Hope you all enjoy owning the night! |

On this day 2021 playwright William Shakespeare was reported to have died after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine by Argentine news channel Chanal 26 (a case of mistaken identity, the bard died in 1616). |

On this day 1948 the Empire Windrush, a former German cruise liner, set sail from Kingston, Jamaica, and headed for England.
On board were 492 passengers, plus an unknown number of stowaways, who hoped to make a new and better life in the colonial motherland. They arrived after nearly a month at the port of Tilbury on the River Thames, just outside London.
This was the spot where 360 years earlier, Queen Elizabeth I delivered her famous speech to the troops preparing to repel a Spanish Armada: “I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king and think foul scorn that any prince of Europe should dare to invade the borders of my realm.”
By contrast the new arrivals on board the Empire Windrush were officially welcomed by an England ravaged by the Second World War. They were the first wave in a drive to recruit labour from the Commonwealth to cover employment shortages in state-run services like the fledgling National Health Service  and public transport.
Obviously, there were problems; not least a chronic housing shortage. To help offset this, the Government opened up a disused deep air raid shelter under Clapham Common in London and more than 200 of the immigrants made a temporary home there. To the east of the common lies the suburb of Brixton, where many of the Windrush passengers settled. Today Brixton forms one of Britain’s biggest West Indian communities.
By the 1970's West Indians had become an integral part of British society, involved in everything from culture to politics and from commerce to athletics.
One of those first arrivals was Sam King, who had served in the Royal Air Force during the war. He decided that farming in Jamaica was not for him and he set his sights on England.
To get there he sold his last three cows, raising enough to buy his ticket on the Windrush, which cost £28.10s. That’s about £600 in today’s money.
King was in fact investing in an exciting future. Eventually honoured by the Queen with both an OBE and an MBE. In 1983 he was elected Mayor of the London borough of Southwark. |
