There are others… Most famously of late… The braces on the girlfriend of Bond nemesis, Jaws… Which had to be there… In the original film… Lest the joke fail… But again… Given the current state of our technology… This would be easy to tweak… Clever men… And women can colourise… Monochrome film… And photographs… So anything like that would be a cinch… In Masonic Mysteries… A mid term Morse… The arch villain… Is a computer hack… And manages to change the police computer records… To incriminate… Our rough edged hero… But Lewis trawls through old newspapers to get to the truth.

If you think it is bad now… How much worse will it be… When everything is digitised… And by the way… Digitalis… Is a poison… So, that’s one more for the catalogue… Re-writing history… Is a principle pass time of the psychopath… So when the powers that be…. Start to advocate it… Run for the hills… Auntie only quite recently ran a documentary exonerating the Spanish inquisition… For murdering wise women… In the middle ages… On the flimsy grounds… That they believed what they were doing was God’s will… Them and Comrade Tush then… The self same playbook… No creative imagination…

But what would the world look like now… If Nelson Mandela… Had died in prison?… Can anyone even remember how things felt… Before the Great Rift?… There was all the furore over the millennial bug… Which came to naught… And things hadn’t started well… Because Robin Williamson commented on the monumentally bad start we’d made… At the ISB concert… One of the audience… Had a vinyl copy of The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter… And got it signed… We went to Ireland… And have not been back since… Jeez! That needs to change soon… If we forget what it was like… We’ll never get it back.
