No Wine, No Light, No Happiness - vember
No Wine, No Light, No Happiness - vember Well, my fellow Vocalites, I’m still here. As a Vocal Plus member. Why? Because apparently Vocal likes me so much, they just won’t let me go! No, really – I went into my settings and thought I canceled the auto-renew. It seems by some twist of fate, the platform didn’t accept my cancellation as of October 30 and have renewed me for another year! That’s until October 30, 2024. I checked. It works now. When I contacted them yesterday, the bot Remy responded that they don’t do refunds. That wasn’t what I asked.

The Servants returned from a brief sojourn to somewhere called Abingdon on the River Thames in Oxfordshire. It was where William the Conqueror stayed for an Easter break in 1084 away from building castles, suppressing the locals and inextricably linking these islands to Europe, again.

On Saturday 14th October the Servants and I were able to catch some of the coverage of The Dewhurst meeting from Newmarket. What a race The Dewhurst Stakes turned out to be. It was only over seven furlongs but by the time the pack had entered the fifth the race was over. That was when City of Troy was eased into the front. A colt not normally suited to anything but good going lengthened with only the slightest of urgings from the jockey who didn't have to draw his whip let alone use it.

5,000... There are certain numbers that are important to us: 42, 666, Pi, Euler's constant, Halle Berry's measurements. There are numbers that we memorize and keep close to our thoughts: phone numbers, pin numbers, Halle Berry's measurements.

Let me get some bad news out of the way. Last week I listed four selections from fifteen runners in the Prix d L’Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp in Paris. I am afraid to admit, but never afraid of honesty, that none of them obliged. Litter tray method, pin sticking or even a serious and considered study of form, going, distance and direction of course brought us all up very short of expectations. Needless to say, Ticker has done very well out of the residents here at Omar Towers. I doubt we will see as much as a greetings card or, a pack of Dreamies from him during the annual festivities that start in about twelve weeks.

Once again things have been quite hectic here at Omar Towers over the last six months. But, now as we slip into the season of mellow fruitfulness, a time of ripening and falling fruit, when the evenings draw in, the temperature drops and the sun lingers longer on the western horizon there is time to catch up.

I don’t know about you, but I adore aliens for several reasons. My fascination with aliens is like having a cosmic crush on the universe’s most enigmatic creatures. It’s like the universe said, “Hey, I’ve got these funky, green folks hanging out in UFOs, and you’re gonna love ‘em.”

Great listener but a bit two dimensional! If you are a Facebook follower of one of the many Harry Styles Facebook Pages I troll, you would know that the Twinkg of Pop celebrated the end of his historic Love on Tour. Congrats Mr. Styles! It’s been a long not one, not two, but three years of your tour and it was truly magical. While I couldn’t make it to the last show at Reggio Emilia, Italy you bet that tight ass I loved stalking you around the world in Tokyo, Frankfurt, Vienna, Barcelona, Madrid, and Portugal. In each city, I felt the spirit of the feather boa come alive as droves of fans of all ages twisted and shouted in the stadiums, or picnicked outside hanging onto your sweet lullabies. I truly hope you are enjoying that post tour lifestyle- you deserve it!
