https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HennaHenna has been used since antiquity in ancient Egypt to dye skin, hair and fingernails, as well as fabrics including silk, wool, and leather.
Egypt is the first recorded 'birthplace' of Henna.Perhaps they had henna in ancient Egypt.
What the feck was that about? I liked the architectural square-cut bush. Always good to find a neatly trimmed bush.I had a brief chat on our pier tonight with a bloke. He's posh, uses the Wifi on the pier and films stuff .. and Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate has tried to frame him apparently ..
I've just accepted his friend request on facebook, he's a bit odd though so I'll be on my guard .. I can't make any sense of this stuff yet ..

I'm thinking he's got mental health difficulties but don't mean to make fun of him here ..
No idea. And yes I agree.What the feck was that about? I liked the architectural square-cut bush. Always good to find a neatly trimmed bush.
I've watched a few of his rambling/rhyming videos, but is there somewhere he tells us what he's being framed for?... and Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate has tried to frame him apparently ..
Who knows? .. either he's telling the truth and I don't want to deal with that or he's deluded and I don't want to deal with that either. I'm not keen on going down the rabbit hole of his videos or asking him face to face either.I've watched a few of his rambling/rhyming videos, but is there somewhere he tells us what he's being framed for?
Ah I see he's written a book... almost in the same style he speaks...

He has a (mostly) Norfolk accent. Not posh at all.@Swifty is the narrator the bloke you met and who you described as 'posh'? Well he doesn't sound very posh to me.
I wouldn’t fret about it - you’re not missing much. Wherever it is has a lovely cubic bush.The sound isn't that good on my computer so I'm having great difficulty hearing what he's saying. Is he claiming that the video was taken in Diss?
F**k knows what he's always babbling on about?, you never know but me and 'hit the hot spot!' (fisherman slang) Brooksy photo bombed one of his videos a few days ago at the 0:25 mark in this video .. that didn't stop him though. We'll just leave him to it ...I wouldn’t fret about it - you’re not missing much. Wherever it is has a lovely cubic bush.
It's stream-of-consciousness nonsense, most of the time.F**k knows what he's always babbling on about?
I know someone very similar to him, who has mental issues and wants everyone to believe he once framed for a murder.It's stream-of-consciousness nonsense, most of the time.
The truth is out there, but that wasn’t enough for Alan. He kept emailing and his last email to me read: “Why don’t you try and refute my ‘conspiracy theory’ you useless and outrageous asshole.”Thanks for response but really have to wonder if you find the behaviour of your fellow academics even remotely acceptable.
Of course, the truth is out there but without a conversation how are we supposed to get at it?
I can assure you I will make this ultimately about the contemptible behaviour of those that should be able to make informed comments. And I expect far greater participation from everyone despite their discipline.
But if you do nothing else, please pass that along.
All the best, Alan.
A great post from you as usual. This will stir the fertilizerI think this fits in here.

Nefarious Intentions and Persecuted Victims: On the Rise of Conspiracy Theories
Sander van der Linden Investigates the Language and Psychology Behind Conspiratorial Narratives
By Sander van der Linden
March 24, 2023
On 30 March 2014, I received an email from one “Alan Tarica.” He had been reading my work on the psychology of conspiracy theories and decided to send me a link to his detailed website uncovering patterns of a vast conspiracy to conceal or ignore the fact that Shakespeare’s famous sonnets were written by somebody else. Who might this be? According to Tarica, all signs point towards the Earl of Oxford. In several conversations, Alan tried to convince me that when you read the Sonnets from end to beginning, starting with the last poem and working your way back to the first poem, hidden truths are revealed.
Most of my colleagues don’t typically respond to such emails, but I often feel a strong pull—like a deep desire—to learn more about what exactly motivates belief in these type of conspiracy theories. After a few emails, I sent Alan Tarica a paper about how illusory pattern perception is linked to belief in conspiracy theories. After I googled his name and discovered that TARICA is an anagram for “ART CIA,” I quickly realized that he had been obsessively emailing and attacking scholars across the board. I told him that this was not my area of expertise but that I’m sure that “the truth is out there.”
One of his emails to me read as follows:
The truth is out there, but that wasn’t enough for Alan. He kept emailing and his last email to me read: “Why don’t you try and refute my ‘conspiracy theory’ you useless and outrageous asshole.”
It may be that Alan feels marginalized: his views are not being heard and the scientific community is ignoring him.
If you start examining conspiracy theories, you will notice recurring commonalities in their narrative.
What Alan doesn’t know is that his behavior fits exactly with what we found in one of our latest studies: an investigation into the language of conspiracy. Most studies in this field of research just ask regular people questions about the extent to which they endorse a myriad of conspiracy theories. But we wanted to do something novel—to examine the language used by actual conspiracy theorists, to see if there are particular patterns—or psycholinguistic features—that make conspiracy theorists distinct in the way that they express themselves online.
By analyzing the language used in hundreds of thousands of tweets from the most popular conspiracy theorists on Twitter, we found that they express much more negative emotions—particularly anger—compared to their popular-science counterparts. They also swear and talk much more about other groups and power structures. All of which is reflected in Alan’s language: he’s angry, he’s swearing at others, and he’s dismantling what he perceives as unfair power structures. ...

We have a smiley for that:Edit: I'm making popcorn.
I think this fits in here.
"Our macho gay bashing Russian soldiers are getting beaten by the gay Zelensky" isn't the flex they think it is.A recent one:
Russian State TV talking head proposing that maybe Zelensky and Boris Johnson are having a homosexual affair, after being dumfounded by the fact that "in the west, being gay isn't compromising material"
