13 o'clock

At the beginning of George Orwell's 1984 it opens with the line,
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.


Today I read from the Telegraph about a village clock that has started striking 13 here

and just a month ago in London this
I found this story today about how a Tesco One Stop store has twice refused a 70 year old woman from buying wine unless she proves ID.

I started to think along the usual lines of the coming National ID which the government are attempting to foist on us, but then I realised that actually this is a simple, honest and sincere attempt to cut down the amount of underage drinkers who dress in disguise as old folk and attempt to purchase alcohol.

So, well done Tesco! May I suggest also that sellers of false beards and moustaches, wigs, make-up, joke warts, pimples, noses and ears etc also request ID before purchase.

Isn't thinking that the President/Prime Minister is THE MAN in control a bit like thinking its the chauffer who is in charge of where the rich guy in the backs going?

The Crowley Thumb Sign

here is a clip of Tony Blair doing his famous hand signal


and here is Gordon Brown doing the same thing but much more frequently



did they pick this up from The Beast himself, Aleister Crowley? Is this a ritual magic hand signal?
