I was making mention of Made in England and just saw that it was already done. Excuse the post. No problem - great minds think alike Horses, Guns, Spies and Trains seem to be four of IA's interests which work their way into his lyrics.

Hang on Jimmy.When leaving Blackpool head over to Wales ( North to South ) back over the Severn Bridge to England, head on for twenty miles turn left up to Minety, then down to Cornwall. Much more picturesque route than via The Midlands ( no offence to Midlanders ) and you get to see some proper culture on the way Hold your horses Mr Duck this is only at the planning stages I haven't even received funding yet. What's Tull Inc's postcode? Welsh Wales is included in the Tull Fan Tour unfortunately not however in the Basic Tour as Mr Anderson, to my knowledge has written zero, zilch about Wales. I would have to refer you to Mr A regarding that matter. Also, Wales is definitely not included in the Homo Erraticus Tour as it's on the wrong side of the 'wandering'- he seemed to be concentrating on the East of the UK. Maybe his next album will be geographically suited to your needs. Get the kettle on the first Tull Fan Tour has just turned into your street.

We thanked the Yank and thanked the Lord for sparing us from dark invasion. Now to liberate, rebuild and balance Europe's new equation. Spooky spies in from the cold with lies and secrets to be sold to bigger brothers, bigger bombs, le Carré thrillers to be told.

Spooky spies in from the cold with lies and secrets to be sold to bigger brothers, bigger bombs, le Carré thrillers to be told. On topic and what's more right on my doorstep - my nearest town - Enniskillen was the first stopping/resting point for the first American soldiers who came over in WW2. "Several events have been held to mark General Dwight Eisenhower's visit to County Fermanagh 70 years ago. Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during WW2, went to Enniskillen on 18 May 1944. He inspected 2,000 soldiers who were in Fermanagh preparing for the invasion of Normandy.." www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-27460789Don't usually see US jeeps outside the library.

Penn and Teller ARE magicians...isn't one of them a Tull fan? Fermi and Teller (Edward) were nuclear scientists...i think Teller was of the right wing, let's bomb the Ruskis into oblivion flavor. And what about the Waler's Dues? Is that Welsh ?

The Lindisfarne Gospels
i62.images obliterated by tinypic/2lkqwp5.jpg[/IMG] "The Lindisfarne Gospels are presumed to be the work of a monk named Eadfrith, who became Bishop of Lindisfarne in 698 and died in 721. Current scholarship indicates a date around 715, and it is believed they were produced in honour of St. Cuthbert..."

Apparently you can see the Lindisfarne Gospels (on tour) in Durham City for much of this year. I will go along and see them next time I am home in Durham though it looks a bit much for one reading.
Durham is a great little city to visit if you are ip in that neck of the woods...

That's our John Bunkerfan's neck of the woods - he doesn't know it yet (he's on his Hols) but he's included in both the TullFan Tour and the Homo Erraticus Tour of the British Isle - see you there

Magic coincidence as this morning's ride to work featured Enginneer and After These Wars as today's top two...really...and I am a confirmed and forever train nerd. Admiring bridges, girders, tunnels and locomotives all my life. All to my place for frieght train ride through the mountains? Not that I would mind a visit to yours where daily life intersects with history and Tull lyrics. Sooner the better. Basic TourWe'll start at Skye then south to Edinburgh back across to Glasgow -not Tull related but it's a better city than Edinburgh then down to Blackpool, Cornwall and back across to London. Tull Fan TourAs above but we stop off at the houses of Tull fans on route. Not sure if the house where I live is worth a visit, but if you start in Fort William before driving to Mallaig where " there's a coast road that winds to heaven's door where a fat ferry floats on muted diesel roar" over to Skye, then en route you'll pass Essan ....... and maybe even see a train passing Essan

I've seen pictures of it, it's quite a famous bothy with a very welcoming fire. If I get the old walking boots out the cupboard and get back on track with my rambling - I'll pay a visit - leave out a packet of digestives

Durham is a great little city to visit if you are ip in that neck of the woods... The Lindisfarne Gospels were on display in Durham for three months last year. I haven't heard of them coming back soon. I go to Durham about once a week and I remember there being queues to buy tickets but at £8 each and being a stingy git I gave it a miss.

Old Corinium Dobunnorum, Durovernum Cantiacorum Bold Londinium offers voice in market square And open forumCorinium Dobunnorum was the second largest town in the Roman province of Britannia. Today it is known as Cirencester, located in the English county of Gloucestershire. Precious little remains apart from a few lumps in the landscape. Durovernum Cantiacorum was a town (oppidum) in the Roman province of Britannia. Today it is known as Canterbury, located in the English county of Kent. (Artist's impression). (If any of this has helped with your revision for the exam that Ms Nonrabbit is in the process of setting up then it's all been worthwhile. Failure is not acceptable )

Orbiters and Soyuz towered on stacks of Lox and hydrogen.Lox - Liquid oxygen. Abbreviated LOx, LOX or Lox in the aerospace, submarine and gas industries and is one of the physical forms of elemental oxygen. Lox can also refer to Salmon. Honest en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoxLox is a fillet of brined salmon. Traditionally, lox is served on a bagel with cream cheese, and is usually garnished with tomato, sliced red onion, and sometimes capers, which diners may or may not opt to add to the bagel. Some American preparations of scrambled eggs or frittata include a mince of lox and onion.Also www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/09/21/224531885/no-schmear-job-at-last-a-history-of-bagels-and-lox

Manic mother,her child gone missing;found in the temple with the elder men. Gone about his Father's business but he still goes missing once againThe Boy Jesus at the Temple Luke: 41And his parents went every year to Jerusalem, at the solemn day of the pasch, 42And when he was twelve years old, they going up into Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast, 43And having fulfilled the days, when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusalem; and his parents knew it not. 44And thinking that he was in the company, they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolks and acquaintance. 45And not finding him, they returned into Jerusalem, seeking him. 46And it came to pass, that, after three days, they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them, and asking them questions. 47And all that heard him were astonished at his wisdom and his answers. 48And seeing him, they wondered. And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? behold thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49And he said to them: How is it that you sought me? did you not know, that I must be about my father's business?
