For newcomers

At the bottom of each post there is the word "comments". If you click on it you will see comments made by followers, and if you follow the instructions you may also comment and I always welcome that. I have found many people overlook this part of the blog which is often more interesting than the original post!

My blog nick-name is SIR HUGH. I'm not from the aristocracy - my middle name is Hugh which relates to the list of 282 hills in Scotland compiled by Sir Hugh Munro in 1891. I climbed my last one (Sgurr Mor) on 28th June 2009

  4. All - I didn't expect any comments on this. I was only testing the Blogger app using my iPad because I read somewhere that the Blogger app will not be supported by future versions of IOS. The choice of photo was a random pin-stick. I had taken it prior to moving the TV because it is hooked up to a video player, external speakers, the Internet and God knows what else and I wanted to be able to put it all back together again afterwards.

  7. The test being: what might your commenters come up with? For me it is quite clear the solitary cable is plugged into the wrong socket. But you will say (driven by the obviousity of the visual evidence) there are no alternatives. Conveniently forgetting the Holmesian apophthegm: when all the obvious answers have been examined and discarded whatever remains - however unlikely - is that which should be pursued.

    So what does remain? Plug and socket may mate, but should they be allowed to? What would be the consequences of intervening in their mechanical copulation? Pursuing the reproductional metaphor still further we may say that if they are kept apart there will be no fructification. Conceivably - and here I make a giant step on behalf of all mankind - you may denied the diversions of your television screen.

    And thus out of what seemed like a form of status quo that should always remain status quo we have a view of Elysian fields. Elementary, my dear Sir Hugh.
