The Facebook Experience

Image
For many years on a virtually daily basis I have been using Facebook or FB essentially as a tool of research and intellectual "entertainment". It is ofcourse a goldmine of information which can be helpful in the development of my key projects of Transfinancial Economics, Multi-Dimensional Science, the Universal Debating Project, Contemporary Early Music, and other matters. It is ofcourse ideal for networking with people with similar interests and as such plays a vital and central role. https://www.facebook.com/Searle88 Here is a communication from one of my FB fans....!! I am totally stunned. You have such a multi-faceted personality and worldly interests!!! Is there any subject on this earth you are not into? Lol. I love French wave and Italian neorealism also Tarkovsky and Bergman.. but my understanding of the world is very limited. You must be in love with life itself… and humanity, lol!!! My response was ..that I find information on different subjects very...

Recalling Childhood Memories...

Image
I do not have much of a memory at all of  childhood. But here is a listing of what I recall excluding the actual recall of being born, or reborn into the world physically which appears on another post on this blog site for anyone who is interested. i)... Playing in a sandpit, and finding small plastic toys........ This must have been a nursery school of sorts. I believe someone called Dr Ruby had a connection with it, and probably informed mater that I was mentally retarded....which might explain everything!! Lol! ii)... Waking up in the morning full of energy, and "bounce." I then left my room, and went to my parents bedroom whereupon I was nearly shot down by a plastic missile from a large toy gun from the bed. This was about Xmas time 1966, or thereabouts. I do not know why I should remember this! My pater was laughing hysterically at the time.... iii) ...Again filled with energy I awaited my mater to enter my bedroom to help me lea...

The Disappeared Family "Archives."

Image
The family "archives" seem to have long disappeared. I used to have albums for photos, and postcards. They cannot be traced. Then  there are the old home cine films which have disappeared even though they were put together onto a cd to make for ease of viewing. This too seems to have vanished into thin air. What I am left with essentially are memories. On the cd of the old home cine films I recall basically the following. i) Having ice cream in Savill Gardens as a child ii) Images of a place called the Villa outside Oswestry. One movie clip involves my grandmother appearing, and then disappearing outside her her old "Victorian" home. A simple camera trick. iii) Some stop motion involving Action Men on a Spanish beach iv) Making "rude" gestures outside a Sunday School in Langley as a youngster! v) Recorded travelling from a Sunday School in Windsor to my home in which I filmed the road trip next to my pater who ofcourse was...

The Tesco Set

Image
Tescos is a massive well-known superstore business. In Slough it exists as a huge "warehouse" on "stilts". I try to avoid it when necessary because the amount of goods on offer is so overwhelming, and it is not always easy to find specific items. However, they do tend to sell things at discount, and that is helpful on the pocket. Anyway, before the "warehouse" on "stilts" was built there was a much smaller Tescos, and I used to be a part of what might be called the Tesco Set which took place in the café !! This  was a simple informal meeting of friends  back in the 1990s. One them was an Italian who used "to hold Court". His name was Primo Taburini who among other things had a brief "connection" in the past with the Mafia. He also had the habit of droning on, and on...virtually non-stop! Apart from that he had a background in  catering, and claimed that he once worked for the Royal Family, and played an important role at...
