The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.

Lights Out
I have got to admit to loving UFO's live album Strangers in the Night. We've all got our musical guilty pleasures...

60 years of Flying Saucers
Sixty years ago today American businessman Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine brilliant objects flying across the face of Mount Rainier in Washington towards Mount Adams at a speed he calculated at over 1200mph (approx 1850 km/h). His sighting received significant media and saying that they “flew like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water” and also said they were “flat like a pie pan”, “shaped like saucers,” and “half-moon shaped, oval in front and convex in the rear. ...they looked like a big flat disk.”... and thus flying saucers were born, which is why we never saw a film called “Earth versus the foo fighters” or a publication called Ghost Rocket Fighter Review.

There are some that believe that the flying saucers are operated by Fourth Reich Nazis out of their base in Neu Schwabenland in Antarctica. Amazingly this has never really caught the public imagination. After all Antarctica is where H P Lovecraft's Old Ones live!
