    Eyeballs in the sky

    Now that brings back memories of the PERISHERS cartoon strip in the Mirror. When they went on holiday to the coast and the dog Boot used to look in the rock pool. The crabs in the rock pool used to refer to him as the eyeballs in the sky absolutely brilliant.

    Some of the crabs believe that Boot's eyes peering down at them are a mystical visitation - "The Eyeballs in the Sky" - and this belief is exploited by a preacher crab who used their appearance as an excuse to extort money from his congregation. His efforts werer always opposed by a scientist crab who continually attempts to invent a device to break through the surface and see what the Eyeballs really are, despite the preacher's protests that he will rend the fabric of the pooliverse. The conflict usually ended up in a full-scale crab fight, and Boot is left none the wiser as to crab behaviour. Usually, one of the crabs claims that something is "bad fer y'r 'ealth".


    Does anyone else remember them the cartoon ones I mean

    Chris.

    Those of you who have read George Orwell's book 1984,will know what is going on. Those of you who haven't,really should read it.The only thing he got wrong was the date. Some of the things thappen today even he couldn't have imagined. I only use google if I have too. There are other search engines.

    Wish I had known that my house was going to be photographed from the sky, I would have spread a large light blue lorry tarp on the back lawn, then when the council snoops came round looking for the swimming pool,and found only grass, the fun would have been great !!
