The first teleport step taken At LAST

okay, only a photon but - the first manned flight was not particularly impressive. It would have been impossible to guess, watching the Wright brothers fly 120 feet in their first attempt in 1903, that Lindbergh would, in 1927, fly the Atlantic. Completely impossible to guess that Lindbergh would be a guest of honour watching Apollo 11 head to the moon in 1969.

So a photon this week could be a mammal in - how long?

I want to know when I can teleport from London to Edinburgh - an hour and a half, flying time, usually. Because yesterday I got to Stansted at 6 pm and I got to Edinburgh at 11 pm and I'm a bit bored with the conventional ways of getting from A to B.

Whew, afraid I might get de-teleported for interruption by miclee.

I do keep making one fatal error when I'm teaching, I casually say something without thinking and my pupils latch onto it instantly and ask what I'm talking about.

Today's word was teleport. Well, you can see how it happened. Being on my mind and all, and the topic of the class was extraordinary news items.

So there I was suddenly trying to explain teleporting in a combination of mime and the words they do know and wondering a bit anxiously whether it would end in the medium of dance.

I have no idea whether they go it in the end, or were simply being very polite and saying they got it. I eventually wildly invited them to tea, mimed how they would turn into atoms streaming across the world to join me, then go back home full of tea and cake in time to go to sleep.

One of these days I will learn to stick to the script - and the lesson plan.

You are at your most misleading when you do that grin and say 'of course'

Still. I shall take it at first value so.

And now I must go to bed - 02h35 here in bonny Scotland, and the sky has finally gone dark. Dawn will be breaking in about an hour.

(We pay for that in winter. Dark by 15h30 and dawn at 09h00 - if we're lucky)

I just looked in to see what was hopping in CS and golly gee whistickers, there was my blog bobbing at the top!

I believe that is now 73?

Do I have to, Mic?

I'd prefer to enjoy sarcasm here

I dampen my sarcasm down by about 99.99% on here, as so many people/cultures don't 'get' it.
We, Irish people, have it down to a tee. Read any Wilde or Yeats and you'll understand. It is a way of life

Mic, I'll see you, and raise your a Jonathan Swift and a Seamus Heaney.

Swift was so sarcastic, the politicians of the day didn't know he was mocking them

Eep my poor blog has become a numbers game

Thank you Mic and Luke

I hope the hangover isn't a killer hehe

But I'm enjoying this sudden sideline into comparative literature and the gentle snide fencing - my country's authors are more sarcastic than yours -

We don't have many sarcastic SA writers, they tended to go to prison. Herman Charles Bosman did a lovely line in gentle humour as Oom Schalk Lourens but when I looked up his quotes I found this -

Famous Herman Charles Bosman Quotes

Sorry, No Quotes Found

He DID go to prison, but for murdering his stepbrother, not sarcasm, and he wrote a fair amount there in the book Cold Stone Jug. He didn't teleport anywhere. No-one I can find in SA literature is hauling me back to topic and -

biting satire - nope. Coming up empty.

I'm having a serious conversation about literature, I'll have you know

I do know and it's extremely interesting and I submitted HC Bosman as my entry

I prefer gentle irony, that's my failing. I'm under-educated in this genre.

I've never heard of that writer. Must look him up.

Wilde is my absolute favourite .

I like a healthy dose of cynicism and sarcasm.
