Logophile – that´s me!

God bless them – those word loving logophiles.

I was just thinking of some of my favourite words and their appealing sounds – scrotum, filibuster, trenchant, snuggle, spam, grunge, morbid, yokel and mulligatawny, for example.

They all start with consonants so here a few more that start with vowels – amanuensis, incontinent, euphoric, anthropomorphic, epistolary, unguent, anachronism, illicit and oleaginous.

I know it´s not a cunting but it makes a change from bollocking (incidentally, another of my favourite words) the BBC.

Fuck pride Month. Let´s have National Logophile Day!

The Tolkien Society

Watch out ladies, they’ve got swords and aren’t scared to unsheath them

Long an admirer of Tolkien, I have been a member of the Tolkien Society for some years now. It’s a way to fully appreciate Professor Tolkien’s unique and very English genius as a prolific sub-creator. And I mean the real, literary Tolkien, not the juvenilised version in Peter Jackson’s films.

I know Tolkien is not everyone’s cup of tea. Regardless, you have to admire the exhaustive and very learned creativity he poured into his life work. A professor of philology and Anglo-Saxon at Oxford, he spent a lifetime creating the languages, history and geography of Middle-Earth as well as writing his greatest books, the Silmarillion and the Lord of the Rings. His purpose was to create a mythology for England, which he felt was sadly lacking, having been stamped out by the Anglo-Normans. I know of nothing else like Tolkien’s achievement in the history of literature. For people of a scholarly bent studying Tolkien is endlessly fascinating. The Tolkien Society has helped people gain an appreciation of Tolkien through its publications and conferences on Tolkien. It’s not some amateur society of immature Middle-Earth geeks, nerds and cosplayers but a serious literary organisation.

Unfortunately, like everything else, the Tolkien Society has gone woke. This years Tolkien Society conference is called “Tolkien and Diversity”. Papers to be presented include, “Gondor in Transition: A Brief Introduction to Transgender Realities in The Lord of the Rings,” “The Lossoth: Indigeneity, Identity, and Antiracism,” and “‘Something Mighty Queer’: Destabilizing Cishetero Amatonormativity in the Works of Tolkien.” There is also “ Pardoning Saruman?: The Queer in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings”. WTF?

It’s immediately apparent that the “scholars” presenting these papers don’t know the first thing about Tolkien. It sounds more like they hate Tolkien and would like to destroy his achievement. Tolkien had nothing whatsoever to say about Woke obsessions. He would have hated wokedom. There are no “transgender realities” in Tolkien. There is nothing about race or queerness. And he certainly wouldn’t have cared a fuck about “cishetero amatonormativity.”

Why would these morons want to vandalise Tolkien’s work with their abnormal obsessions. Because deep down they hate him. He represents all that they despise – a conservative, an English patriot with a deep love of England and it’s countryside, a Christian with a tolerant world view but respectful of others and a WW1 veteran. Someone who believed in the value of English civilisation. He was also an Edwardian and like others of his generation had a benign but hierarchical view of society.

That Woke idiots now come to slander, distort and destroy these sub-creations of Tolkien is also, paradoxically, a testament to his legacy. Like Melkor and Sauron, they are possessed by the dark thoughts of their own imaginings and want to bring Tolkien down to their grubby level, where everything can be reduced to race and sex and politics. And the Tolkien Society are letting these orcs in through the front door.

A veritable Mount Doom of cunt.

My old stomping ground of Birmingham, was awarded to host the 2022 Games back in the mid 2010s. At first I thought this might be a good idea given the cultural diversity of the city, as well as giving Birmingham a much-needed economic boost, along with the nation as a whole.

But even back then there were rumblings that the Games generally harked back to Britain’s colonial past, and of slavery and “institutional/perceived racism”, with some critics suggesting the Games are anachronistic and just not fit for purpose in a more “diverse and culturally enriched” 21st century.

Given how woke this country has become over the last 2 years, I can only guess when the Games do start next year (Covid restrictions permitting), there will be lots of protests going on probably before, during and after the event. With calls for it to be scrapped completely.

Personally I don’t see the point of the Games (or the Olympic Games, come to that). Most of the athletes are probably on drugs; and given how transsexuals can now identify to whatever gender that will give them the best chance of winning, it will mean the Games becoming even more devalued.

You can also expect to see the BBC and other MSM broadcasters place special emphasis for BAME athletes and the hardships they faced at the hands of all those nasty white imperialists/supremacists centuries ago. (Oh and expect to see lots of BAME pundits in the TV studios, just like what we have now with football, cricket, rugby etc.)

And don’t be too surprised to learn of Commonwealth athletes (and spectators from abroad) suddenly claiming asylum or simply disappearing into the streets of Birmingham not wanting to return home. They claim asylum because they fear for their lives back home (mostly BAME countries), and want to live here (a mostly racist country according to BAMEs). Go Figure!

Hopefully by then there will be no more bending of knees or Black Power salutes by woke athletes – but I wouldn’t bank on it!

I know, its my own fault for reading this bullsh*t, but it was the link to the Bloody Bollocks Corporation from the GB News item on IsAC that caused it.

First of all there is no prize for guessing which boxes are ticked in respect of this ‘story’ nor of course is it of any surprise that the BBC even entertain it. But PTSD? Oh come on FFS.. what the hell is remotely ‘post traumatic’ about this?

Ok, the wife got ill. She recovered. She didn’t die, her fanny didn’t explode into tiny pieces with some Alien popping out, you all had a difficult time. So what? No real harm was done in the grand scheme of things. How much more pathetic mileage will these wimps take from these experiences that normal folk take in their stride?

My firstborn’s birth was traumatic, wife had blood clots in legs and lungs and had a dreadful time, but all was forgotten when number one lay staring at the ceiling after eventually being expelled from the birth canal and pinking up nicely. This is despite me being the one that spent some 8 weeks trying to hold down work and dealing with a new born and the Mother-in Law while the wife was stuck in hospital not actually knowing which side her luck would be on.

I never went crying to the media about it that’s for sure. PTSD is what the likes of Soldiers endure, proper trauma from seeing people blown to bits. World War 1 conscripted men not knowing if they were walking in stinking piss and blood sodden mud or their fellow regimental chaps rotting faces after being shelled or sniped by Fritz and Co.

I said in reply to a nom earlier this week that I was grateful never to have been pushed into National Service nor suffered the endurance of War, but this shower of shit born in the last 20 years or so might benefit from a bullet in the wrong place or a real life changing catastrophe and make them realise just how irrelevant their mental elf whining really is.

PTSD? Not in the true sense. Cunt? Definitely.
