    We need to read Professor Rumford's book. Maybe it was something to do

    Hmm, that's a good thought. Perhaps that was how she hopped back
    and forth.


    Using whatever transport device she used.


    She was here for 4000 years. There were Druids in the time of
    Julius
    Caesar and the actual Druius who they were all named after reigned over
    the Gauls and Celts (in what is now France and Britain) in 1538 BC.

    It's all described in The Travels of Noah into Europe as I told Yads
    earlier. The full transcript his here:
    https://www.argyrou.uk/homepage/myths/bible/Travels.htm

    heard of druidic sacrifice, so that would have been as difficult
    as getting a nunnery to do it.

    The druids did like nature, but the Cailleach was not nice. It

    Sounds like she was the female equivalent of the Irish Taoiseach.

    She is Irish. You may have encountered her as the Hag of Beara,
    or under a few other names.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cailleach


    This is because neopaganism has absolutely nothing whatsoever
    to do with
    the ancient religions it claims to be based on. Most of it is pure
    bollocks. Julius Caesars The Gallic Wars gives the most accurate
    description of the Druids.

    I give the nod to Stuart Piggott, personally, but The Gallic Wars
    is certainly a valuable source.

    I haven't read the book, but he liked adding extra bits to what

    There was also not explanations as to what would happen to the
    stones that remained on Earth. Are they still going to go after
    people for their blood? Why didn't they feed on animal blood?

    Ogrus and Diplos are 2 different planets.

    Things were definitely moving slowly. Perhaps that is normal when
    one's only minions are giant rocks.

    She was probably trying to attract more worshippers, probably in
    the hope of offering more frequent sacrifices. More food might
    have made the Ogri more powerful.

    She had plenty of time to do that when they were building Stonehenge.

    Do you figure all standing stones are Ogri?

    Why are they standing at exactly the right places to keep track
    of solar phenomenon? That seems strange.

    What better place for some Rock-like creatures to 'hide' than in amongst
    a group of Rock-like Rocks??

    And having a group of Humans dropping by occasionally to 'worship' the
    rocks would provide a reasonable source of fresh Blood.

    The Hall used to be a nunnery,

    I think you might have meant "a Convert"

    Assuming you meant "convent,"

    Correct.

    what's the difference? Are you making a Shakespeare joke about
    whorehouses? :-)

    No, just that the Houses where the Nuns lived were known as 'a Convents' (double checks the spelling!!) NOT 'a Nunnery'.

    FWIW, there is a difference. Something to do with religious
    orders, etc.

    But in the actual episode, Boscombe Hall was referred to as
    the site of an old Convent.... The Sisters of Saint ______
    (something).

    Sounds like it was both, then. If we want to call it a former
    convent, that's fine with me.

    O.K., so maybe it's a difference between English English and American
    English.

    Just doing a search on 'nunnery', the definition given, apparently, by
    "The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language" is ....

    Quote
    noun

    1. A convent of nuns.
    2. A house in which nuns reside; a cloister or convent in which women reside for life, under religious vows. See cloister, and convent.
    3. A place of residence for nuns; a convent.

    Maybe they did. Surely they didn't need human blood specifically.
    Were there humans when they were evolving on Ogros?


    They has some chemicals that were naturally occurring to the planet that contained the equivalent of haemoglobin.

    Their seeming preference for human prey may simply be because
    we're larger than most of the other prey available in that area.
    To a large creature moving relatively slowly, a squirrel would

    Bi-monthly and Fanny-pack is all you need to know.

    I always struggle (Shock!! Horror!!) with 'Bi-monthly'. Is that twice a

    Bi-Annually is, I think, every two years .... but what would I know??

    Just doing a search on 'nunnery',

    Education down there can't be up to much if you didn't know

    I know it is a word INCORRECTLY used by the Yanks in place of 'Convent'.
    Don't tell me the Irish use that word as well?? .... or is this just

    Things were definitely moving slowly. Perhaps that is normal when
    one's only minions are giant rocks.

    She was probably trying to attract more worshippers, probably in
    the hope of offering more frequent sacrifices. More food might
    have made the Ogri more powerful.

    She had plenty of time to do that when they were building Stonehenge.

    Do you figure all standing stones are Ogri?

    Why are they standing at exactly the right places to keep track
    of solar phenomenon? That seems strange.

    What better place for some Rock-like creatures to 'hide' than in amongst
    a group of Rock-like Rocks??

    And having a group of Humans dropping by occasionally to 'worship' the
    rocks would provide a reasonable source of fresh Blood.

    Depending on what Blood it is.

    The Hall used to be a nunnery,

    I think you might have meant "a Convert"

    Assuming you meant "convent,"

    Correct.

    what's the difference? Are you making a Shakespeare joke about
    whorehouses? :-)

    No, just that the Houses where the Nuns lived were known as 'a Convents' >(double checks the spelling!!) NOT 'a Nunnery'.

    FWIW, there is a difference. Something to do with religious
    orders, etc.

    But in the actual episode, Boscombe Hall was referred to as
    the site of an old Convent.... The Sisters of Saint ______
    (something).

    Sounds like it was both, then. If we want to call it a former
    convent, that's fine with me.

    O.K., so maybe it's a difference between English English and American >English.

    Just doing a search on 'nunnery', the definition given, apparently, by
    "The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language" is ....

    Quote
    noun

    1. A convent of nuns.
    2. A house in which nuns reside; a cloister or convent in which women >reside for life, under religious vows. See cloister, and convent.
    3. A place of residence for nuns; a convent.

    If Cessair was from Ogrus surely she would have been called

    But she might be an Ogrus posing as the Cessair of Diplos.

    Would the counsel for the plaintiff like to offer their evidence

    No evidence.

    check PArt 4.

    ... or perhaps it's more of a title, as she cessed the heck
    out of Diplos and is now known as its Cessair. I don't know
    what cessing is, but it's probably a serious crime.

    Yeah, it sure is the pits.

    But then again, the Duke of York isn't from York and the
    Prince of Wales isn't from Wales...

    Yet another good interpretation!

    I like to be fair to both sides of any argument.

    Well... sometimes.

    Why would humanoid blood be special? They're not even from Earth,

    Hmmm!! Just occurred to me reading your response there,
    Melissa ..... 'Amelia' isn't really a common name (to my
    experience) so was NewWho's Amy Pond a bit of a Tribute
    to the Amelia of old??

    Maybe not as Amelia was only a bit-player in one Episode.

    I think it used to be more common. This Amelia has an age-
    appropriate name, while Amy Pond was part of the trend of
    giving girls old-fashioned names.

    I reckon Amy Pond made the better Kissogram !

    Yes! What sort of Weirdo would want a Kissogram from the older
    Amy??

    Well technically there was no older Amy, the character in
    "Stones of Blood" was actually called Emelia... but I preferred
    to do the kissogram joke!

    'Emelia'?? Any wonder it wasn't abbreviated. ;-)

    There was also not explanations as to what would happen to the

    Ogrus and Diplos are 2 different planets.

    What better place for some Rock-like creatures to 'hide' than in amongst
    a group of Rock-like Rocks??

    And having a group of Humans dropping by occasionally to 'worship' the
    rocks would provide a reasonable source of fresh Blood.

    Depending on what Blood it is.

    Sorry! WHAT?? Do YOU, Binky, think a rock that is thirsty for Blood
    would care which type of Blood it had access to??

    Really??

    I can't remember. I've not read it in something like 40 years

    I haven't read the book, but he liked adding extra bits to

    There was also not explanations as to what would happen to the
    stones that remained on Earth. Are they still going to go
    after people for their blood? Why didn't they feed on animal
    blood?

    Ogrus and Diplos are 2 different planets.

    Well, Aggy, Binky has really answered the question you didn't ask,

    Nope, Shakespeare during during the Reigh on King James I.

    In fact Macbeth is supposed to be a parody on Guy Fawkes and the attempted attack on Parliement.

    Secondary School) and at least two Aunts and two cousins were
    Nuns, so we encountered Nuns and Convents fairly often. ;-) )

    So ... a sister was your Aunt and two cousins were also
    Sisters... and maybe another Aunt was a Sister too? That sounds
    like a complicated family to me... cosy... but complicated.
    Still, there was no TV back then was there?

    It also explains a lot!


    Blueshirt's Obligatory Nun Joke (Part 2) ---------------------------------------

    Two nuns were riding their bikes together on their way to
    church one Sunday morning.

    The first nun says to the second nun, "I've never come this way
    before."

    The second nun says, "Yeah, it's the cobblestones."

    "Gang of kooks" is a good way to phrase it at this point. There's

    It's sociologically interesting, though it also makes me glad for

    Two nuns were riding their bikes together on their way to
    church one Sunday morning.

    The first nun says to the second nun, "I've never come this way

    The second nun says, "Yeah, it's the cobblestones."

    "It's NOT balderdash! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is a
    REAL WORD I'm telling you!!! Did you not do your research and
    watch the movie?!!!! IT'S TRUE!!!!! DAMN FOOL!!!!!!!!!!! Get
    an education!!!!" ... sort of thing.

    It's the only way.

    I've seen/heard it on T.V. so therefore it is REAL!!

    So ... a sister was your Aunt and two cousins were also

    sounds like a complicated family to me... cosy... but
    complicated. Still, there was no TV back then was there?

    .... and it's possibly that Mum's Cousin that I mentioned was
    a Nun, might have actually been a Mother, i.e. the Boss Nun of
    a Convent (not a Nunnery) of 'lessor' Nuns.

    That's a lot of dirty habits in one family.

    By the way, who started this fNun thing?


    You tell us.

    Blueshirt's Obligatory Nun Joke (Part 2)
    ---------------------------------------
    Two nuns were riding their bikes together on their way to
    church one Sunday morning.

    The first nun says to the second nun, "I've never come this
    way before."

    The second nun says, "Yeah, it's the cobblestones."

    Hmm! Binky(Word used by paedophiles to indicate their joy of child sexual molestation) do 'we' include that under the heading of
    'Blaspheming'??


    Blueshirt's Surprising Fact #666
    ---------------------------------

    To an Atheist there is no such thing as blasphemy.

    To us it's called free speech!

    I noted 666 .

    And nobody says "Southern Irish" in 2026... (Really!)

    Why is it called northern Ireland when only Northern Irlend
    is part of the UK?

    No, just that here, where WE speak Good English, the buildings

    Funnily enough, people don't say that much in normal every

    But it is officially the name of the state, in Irish.
