psychedelic grandads

Somewhere or other, and I really must find it, I have a blog under that name wherein I want to encourage other old trippers from wayback to reveal themselves.

No posts here for ages as I have been busy writing ‘LSD – Blew Out Grandad’s Windows; Integrating Psychedelic Experience’ a major undertaking and my own record for an ebook.

Psychedelic-Grandads in Amsterdam

Ricky is learning that us men on a mission find real ale-houses with twitching noses like yer mouse after the cheddar. Other stuff here makes the nose twitch even stronger, in the lift, on the stairs in the street and squares everywheres you might say is the man with the bush.
Reading Paddy Doyle is inflecting me language usage and its pissin’ down outside as we sit in a mocked up railway carriage compartment in our hotel bar. Itopens directly on the street and mercifully is no-smoking, at least for tobacco.
Met a few who got their ears bent about the upcoming opus, several faked or meant their support and give me email addresses.
For those who do not know the astounding news this here ebook to be is called:
;LSD – Blew Out Grandad’s Windows; Integrating Psychedelic Experience’
So there it is.

Who is OldFenBoy?

The physicist Leo Szilard once announced to his friend Hans Bethe thathe was thinking of keeping a diary, “I don’t intend to publish. I am merely going to record the facts for the information of God”.

“Don’t you think God knows the facts?” Bethe asked.

“Yes” said Szilard “He knows the facts, but He does not know this version of the facts

Cue rustic “Aarrrh!”

I say from this perspective. And leave God out of it whoever she is.

OldFenBoy gone good or bad according to perspective, yup.
It were the Acid Smoke Rocknroll long hair travel and education wot done it. originally a boisterous ‘normal’ little village boy, ie a bourgeois squire’s second son acculturated with the prejudices of his time and class. How else?

Born on riverbank goes from fen village school via scholarship to boarding Grammar where not happy and eventually

“this boy cannot hope to pass more than three ‘O’ levels ” says headmaster and “if he comes back next term I shall have to ask him to leave”.

So seven winters of freezing family farmingup and down tractoring flat fields until… Young Farmers is enough, suddenly its the sixties!

Multicoloured and happening and our hero drops out for months in the London wilderness…and tripping around Cambridge sloughing off with psychopharmacological assistance certain social conditioning, so in tune with the tenor of the times, oh blame those technicolour sixties.

Then decides on Cambridge Tech.  Nine months makes three ‘A’ levels and enough for Cardiff Uni. Yup. Economics bohemian anti-apartheid demos, debates president & more study, reading arguing and fun in Welsh rain.

Two years and exchange scholarship to Washington State Uni., USA. Whoohee and whoopee and even a Yeeha!. Anti-war protests, up Nixon, sociology ecology criminology etc and back to finish Cardiff BSc Econ and into Cambridge Uni as Criminology Research graduate on drug use so to speak. The little innocent village boy is no longer.

Exciting run to Morocco…twice

This and that, back to Camb Uni for Cert Ed, up and down, some rum stuff, ducking and diving, market trader, marry, divorce, meditate, train as psychodynamic therapist and rear family in Fens, charity manager and now….retired…thinking…idling…writing…still caring…in this mad, mad world…

Sheebang…enuff of this puffery.

Grappling

Oh yes grappling with this new media, now on laptop trying to locate my dashboard a!nd wrestle this damn thing to accomodate my wishes.
Cue rustic Aaarrh!

Relevant piece will eventually find a home in relevant place.

All is relative.

Still lost

Blimey I may have the dashboard in front of me but screwed if I can point to where I want to go.
Brakes, steering, I am a bloody danger!

Yup, and sometimes it rains.

Eventually I shall doubtless churn out summat interesting, or maybe just allow myself a drivelling rant.

I await inspiration.

Found Dirty Dicky Desmond entertaining on Leveson yesterday, seems we have morally imbecile millionaires owning newspapers.

Now that we can call a free press! Ha. As he said himself, all points of view need to be represented.

I shall carry on laughing, wottaworld.

Here I am!
