Just noticed that "The Prisoner" is on ITV4. Mind you' we're up to
Episode 7, so I haven't been paying that much attention.

Be seeing you.

It all became clear in the last episode. We are all our own No. 1,
imprisoning ourselves in the material world when we should be seeking
rebirth in love and rock and roll, if we only can break free and
manage to become Leo Mckern

Peace and love man.

Posted a postcard to jbex from Portmerion this Sog, with fairly obvious
pictures on it. Simply said "I am not a number, I am a free man" and
signed it "No. 6".

I was there over the Hank Boliday. I'd never been there before (and was
never really into The P.). Nice place, I'd have liked it if it hadn't been
ipssing down. But it was, of course, what else would we expect ?

I've told people "I am not a number, I am the letter "Z"", but only

Mayhaps it does have the donkey answer which has become entrenched,
but it does have other answers? Sort of like "getting your ducks in a
row" (an expression heard over here, anyway, maybe not rightpondian).
Why not "getting your tesseracts in a row"? Works just as well.

That molishes more frafr of the donkey/mule answer then. I'd only ever

Please keep "KAR 120C" near the top of uk.rec.sheds. For a mere 50
pence a week you can provide a decent meal and beverage each day to
KAR 120C and help it to grow up strong and healthy. Don't let it
sink into archive oblivion. Please do your part. It's for a good
cause.
