Subject: To Bob Geldof

I am not wrong, Bob.

You have got to do something about that Jules. She lures and switches and is responsible for rumours that have caused confusion and heartache.

And Jules seeming so hellbent on a set-up not overly favourable towards me has been anything but pleasant.

I'll give you this much - I don't think it was your doing alone, however, even offering the benefit of doubt, I don't appreciate unsubstantiated and uncalled for Jule type arrangements, much less want any near Christina and I expect you to see to that.

If it helps,
* This writing is free of indications
* It is about creativity not chance-creativity
* It may be at times aligned but it is by no means a channel

Meanwhile, I hope that my conditions are not too stringent. I am not fastidious. It so happens that where our knowledge is extensive our surreal is ever close to the surface. When masteing such an opening one will inevitably choose what is best for all concerned. In short, I don't want a likely team stolen and empowering the wrong cause, particularly one inclined to condemn through ignorance and superstition, out of fear or competition.

It was not with reckless abandon that I chose to vote for the 3rd's independence; it was where I'd be accountable and by no means refused. This choice was not for safety's sake, it was more about what I wanted for the 3rd and what task fitted easily around my children.

Given these two loves I'll thank you to keep in mind that infallible does not apply to my work.

You have proved as costly and time consumming as Simply Red.

Thank you for this allowance. I trust that you and the girls are well.
Cathy.

Proof that you don't need to go to a bakers or the supermarket to get a free slice of fruitcake...

Ho hum. And I thought certain Waterboys & Sisters of Mercy fans were too obsessive for their own good...

Excuse me,

To Bob,

I am wondering if someone took a bit of a turn and didn't let on .... then again I don't know if it was a turn, hysteria or a tantrum.

I suffered five psychic attacks in as many months - Jan, Feb, March, April and May of '97. In April I read a spirity book for the first time (it's said we follow what we need to know), The Celestine Prophecy, so April's attack was loud & clear. The attack in May would have killed me but for something that steered me clear twice in one day.

The fact is, I'd have braved up and spoken sooner but I was forced out of the mainstream.

I want to know if a spiritual attack, a pierce shooting through the body (penetrating the chest and exiting the lower back) can cause trauma to the organs - prompting existing or old complications, or bring about new ones. Likewise the brain, or to be kinder, the act with which we process thoughts. All that we mind.

Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTS), all very well but what of the brain damage I suspected, because for six years I could not visualise. I could not produce mental images and whilst speaking of things, good or bad, I could not imagine, I could not even daydream.

I am aware that I'd a condition that no-on survives. But for a perverse side of me that found my situation odd and valuable, but for this insight into human behaviour and my ability to deduct exceedingly fast I wouldn't be here.

And certainly not whilst it became increasingly clear that as text I produce information and as humane I alleviate tired and unjust situations. As intelligent I speak wisely .... as humouress I might prove quite mad.

How ever daunting all this, it was manageable in that it was kinda' one of those "Why am I not surprised" episodes.

Anyway, I don't care to study Psychology further. Law is interesting though apart from laziness as credentialled I fear I lose the quirky side of naivety, the very essence that might ultimately have freed the 3rd from debt.

I am thinking of my people too - my gardener, my housekeeper, my ironing lady - the people the kids & I really miss. Did I tell you that I had a dishwasher once? Forgive me if I gaze longingly at yours.

I'd like a holiday, a house & garden, a healthy bank account and some jewellery. AGAIN, I might add.

And once more, the children and I, besides knowing nothing, surrendered nothing, we woke up and it was all gone.

Soldier on ..... it the pits when they ripped JL off.

I know great love - for his part you can read this from the bottom up.

You owe me dinner.
Cathy.

Ahhh, the dark side of fame. Can you imagine if the poor man actually read this stuff? Thank God he's smart enough not to.

Even if he did, I'm sure he'd just ignore it. I'm sure this isn't the first and won't be the last of this kind of thing.

Yeah, but I bet the makers of Viz comic read this. I think this is where they get the ideas for their character of Roger Irrelevent from.

Mark my words, any minute now Cath's going to be accusing Bob of trying to turn her into a lobster - throart, gribble, g'zoft!

Viz and Roger Irrelvant. More foreign things about which I know nothing. I would however, like to drive about eight hours north and eat some fresh, tasty boiled lobster - preferably at a dockside shack. With baked potato, corn-on-the-cob and butter. mmmmm. It always tastes best in Maine.

Viz Comic is a national institution in the United Kingdom. It was the first "adult" comic, sort of The Beano or The Dandy for grown-ups that didn't want to be grown-up. Some of its characters include:

Finbarr Saunders: The lad whom can spot double entendres in the most harmless of conversations - very much in the Carry On Film/Monty Python "Nudge Nudge, Wink Wink" mould.

The Modern Parents: If you have ever been driven up the wall by the more self-satisfied of the New Age/Environmentally Aware/Neo-Pagan types on the planet, you will love this one, as every issue their long suffering son Tarquin manages to put one over his anally retentive mother Cessida & father Malcolm.

The Critics: Done by the same cartoonist as The Modern Parents, this time about two pretentious art critics.

Ferdinand The Foodie: Again same cartoonist. About a wannabe gastronomic expert - very apt considering the way these twats like Nigella Lawson & Jamie Theakston have been elevated to God & Sex Symbol status over the last few years by the British middle classes.

Gilbert Rachett: Boy Inventor of all sorts of things (predating "Dexter's Lab" by a decade!), which frequently go wrong...

Sid The Sexist: Brain Dead Jack The Lad wannabe who is to women what Jaws is to seaside holidays - resulting in him landing up in hospital at the end of most episodes

Roger Mellie: The Man on the Telly. Ever wondered what Jonathan Ross or Johnny Carson are REALLY like off camera...

Roger Irrelevant: Some have criticised him for supposedly making fun of schizophrenics. His surreal comments & actions will appeal to those that find more off the wall humour funny (ie. not Geldof - remembering what he said about They Might Be Giants!)

The Kewl Chix: Three teenage girls with more money than braincells (or rather their parents have) or vocabulary. Make Alicia Silverstone on "Clueless" look like Einstein reincarnate!

Mrs Brady - Old Lady : Moaning pensioner always going on about the good old days & how everything was cheaper & better than today...

Student Grant - Pretentious Uni student who thinks students should get everything for free & likely to have a stroke before he ever does a stroke...

If you ever see a copy of the Toy Dolls album "A Far Out Disc", you will see several of the Viz Comic characters of the period on the cover.

"Viz", incidentally, was the abbreviation that was used until "e.g." became the norm. It's short for "videlicet".

Thanks for the reminder about Viz, not read it in years. I enjoyed that. Franna you may find it on the internet and some samples if you do a search???

Bob,

Obsessive/Obsession/Obsessed - the letter collecting spree to prove a point. More letters as he takes another turn realising his mistake, more when he endeavours to amend and befriend it, more as he gains sympathy for his flailing efforts, more as he apologises, and more again as he removes himself from the situation entirely; supposing that one will just understand.

Of the people he 'won' in the process? Those convinced certainly had no qualms in treating me as a crazy obsessive fan (some even got hooked on the rewards). One in particular was of a dimension that requires medication and supervision and had neither.

You could imagine what that was doing to my children.

That's the neverland - Being treated as something you are not. Obsessed - Having to work out what in God's name was going on, finding him and telling him to quit it, that the experience is nothing short of horrendous, that his position cannot possibly be as important as three kids security and, given that he gradually closed through this process (of logic) and probably doesn't remember anything, thus, having got what he wanted, he definitely owes me money. Grief? Having to tell him so in front of others.

Furthermore, if he is to be exposed then he will ensure that I will be too - for I've not thanked him enough for his good deeds. In turn, given religion of any nature, he owes Fritz MacIntyre an apology and a very big thankyou.

Whilst I only want to thank Fritz and hope that this content remains ours.

Yours sincerely,
Cathy.

I've not checked my email - gotta' go.
See ya'

Pah, my pesky cat is becalmed up that old oak tree. Wibble wibble. G'zoft.

Don't play games with me Ginelli! Where have you hidden the sink unit?

Well your infernal meddling won't work. Those sprockets are mine, MINE, do you hear me!

Etc...

Apologies for the double-post earlier.

Mark - Many thanks for the detailed explanation; and Jules - I'll see what I can find.
