Tom Baker - !!!NEW!!!

To celebrate the 90th birthday of the longest-serving Doctor, I have created this parody. Enjoy!

From The Mind of Merc - (Political) Life Imitating Art

(Bit late with my monthly post this time so it's just a short one).

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about the similarity or appropriateness of quotes from and to completely different situations.

Case in point - who said this?

"If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness
to look facts in the face will see us through."

From The Mind of Merc - Truth In Jest

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about this photo I found on the internet. Maybe Mossop & Keanrick knew what they were talking about after all.

Blackadder Ghoti sketch - Mercorabilia

How do you pronounce ghoti? Most people would probably think you pronounce it the same as a small pointed beard (goatee) but there are some who would disagree with you. Including a member of a certain infamous historic dynasty.

Blackadder: Right Baldrick, let's try again shall we? This is called alternative spelling. If I have a g, an h and an o, and then I add a t and an i, what do I have?

Baldrick: A ghoti.

Blackadder: Yes... and no. Let's try again shall we? I have a g, an h and an o, then I add a t and an i. What does that make?

Baldrick: A very strange word.

Blackadder: Baldrick, any George Bernard Shaw fan can master this. Now try again. F-i-s-h. So how do you say it?

Baldrick: Ghoti.

Blackadder: What?

Baldrick: ...ish.

Blackadder: Ghoti ish. So if it’s not ghoti ish but sounds similar to it, what is this word?

Baldrick: Oh! Ghoti.

Blackadder: Yes. To you Baldrick, the English spelling reform was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?
