Now we come to the bit about having a few toys lose in the attic, I suppose the best thing in a case like this is to admit to the problem in the first instance.

The other day one of our own dear councillors and a member of our esteemed cabinet seemed to think I was developing delusions about the council; “I think the mistake you make is in believing that every aspect of life is micro-managed by the council” see http://thanetonline.blogspot.com/2010/09/local-councillors-blogs-and-beware-of.html

I believe the trickcyclist people call this querulant delusions, this is something like a persecution complex, well today I have to admit to once again thinking that Thanet District Council are persecuting Ramsgate.

I looked at the council’s homepage and although I could see an article there about Heritage Open Days in Margate, these querulant delusions completely prevented me from seeing the one about Heritage Open Days in Ramsgate.

My Therapist Johann Christian Reil, has produced the following therapy schedule.

First plunging me (the lunatic) into a bath full of live eels..

And then showing me a Katzenklavier, or cat-clavichord (pictured above), an instrument played by pressing keys attached to nails which in turn strike the tails of a series of cats arranged with care so as to miaow in tonally sequenced pain.”

I have been having the therapy and I am expecting to see the Ramsgate article appear there at any moment.
Update I am afraid that things are getting worse I have just suffered the delusion that the council’s Twitter update about “Shop Local in Thanet” says only, shop local in Margate, see http://twitter.com/ThanetCouncil/statuses/24023311694

This sort of thing is taking its toll on the eels and the cats.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
