    From God's perspective everything is both dead and alive. According to quantum mechanical, Buddhist, Vedic and common-sense views, there is only one perspective and that is the subjective one. Or can you name someone whose perspective is objective?

    Samuel Johnson.

    Ok my previous post wasn't any good. However, the 1933 Nobel laureate Schrodinger, a father of quantum mechanics, a genius, believed that there is no death. In fact, if death is real, we have to deal with the mind-body problem. No one has yet been able to explain what consciousness is, what causal powers it has if any, why did evolution by natural selection produce such an useless epiphemonenalistic thing and what is the mechanism by which mind ceases to exist when the brain dies. What is more, no one has explained the über-difficult Schrodinger cat paradox, according to which all of us are simultaneously both dead and alive at this very moment, because the Schodinger wave function says so.

     

    Nothing to reply, drol?

    Well it's all about perspective. Dick Bruna is dead because he was on Last Word. Alan Aspin is still alive because he didn't obit.

    The last time the seat was Tory was 1992 - the Rabbi has stood for that seat previously and not won. The whole antisemitic issue within the Labour party is precisely the blame for the loss of the seat, and that absolutely includes Corbyn. 

    @rhys interested in where the 41% Jewish figure comes from. Evening Nazi reports it was more likely the bin collections being the issue, rather anti-semitism. Also 25% turnout indicates lots of Labour voters not being arsed.

    Well!  Today the sun has been out, there has been no rain for 24 hours and a stiff breeze all day.  Grass dry enough to have a crack at it.

    With trepidation I approached the lawn mower and it started! 

    Have managed to cut all the grass on the highest setting, so just taken the top off, but it's a start. 

    It's a pathetic thing to feel relieved about, but relieved I am.

     

    On the downside, today was green bin day, so am stuck with bin full of grass clippings for two weeks now.

    I find permafrost takes the strain out of gardening.
