1976

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: January 1, 1976

Lyrics:

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

It′s the weekend

And I know that you're free

So pull on your jeans and come on out with me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

You and me, we′ll go motorbike riding

In the sun and the wind and the rain

I got money in my pocket

Got a tiger in my tank

And I'm king of the road again

I'll meet ya in the usual place

I don′t need a thing except your pretty face

And I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

I need to have you near me

I need to feel you close to me

You and me, we′ll go motorbike riding

In the sun and the wind and the rain

I got money in my pocket

A tiger in my tank

And I'm king of the road again

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

I pull my blue jeans on

I pull my old blue jeans on

When I wake up

In the morning light

I pull on my jeans and I feel all right

The Restoration of the Royal East India Volunteers Flags

The British Library is celebrating the completion of a four-year project to conserve two unique but badly degraded silk flags dating from the 1790s.

The flags are a set of colours belonging to the Royal East India Volunteers formed by the East India Company in London during the French Wars to protect East India House and the Company warehouses ‘against hazard from insurrections and tumults’ and to assist the City government in times of disorder. 

The REIV were embodied at two separate periods, from 1796 to 1814 and then from 1820 to 1834.  The field officers were elected from Company directors, and commissioned officers were recruited from clerks and officials at East India House and the warehouses.  The supervisory grades in the warehouses became non-commissioned officers who led labourers serving as privates. By 1799 there were three regiments with about 1500 men.  A register of labourers in the REIV soldiers 1820-1832 has survived giving age, height, home address, reason for discharge from the corps.  Some men were discharged because training clashed with their warehouse duties or secondary afternoon jobs. Others were judged unfit to serve – Charles Twort was discharged for having bad feet and corns.

Each REIV regiment had a set of colours.  It appears that Lady Jane Dundas embroidered all three sets. Her husband Henry Dundas wrote to Company director David Scott on 4 November 1796 that Lady Jane had taken a fancy that she ought to work a pair of colours for the East India Corps and that she needed instructions. Lady Jane presented the colours at three public ceremonies in April 1797, July 1797, and June 1799.

One set of colours was presented to the re-embodied REIV on 14 June 1821. When the REIV was finally disbanded in 1834, these colours were deposited in the museum at East India House. Sir George Birdwood found the colours later in the 19th century at the India Store Depôt at Lambeth and placed them in the Military Committee Room at the India Office in Whitehall.  They were still on display in Whitehall as late as 1963. 

In 1895 the colours were lent to Empire of India Exhibition at Earl’s Court.  The catalogue described them as ‘tattered and torn in the most approved fashion but no tale of glory hangs thereby. Only in marches and reviews in London Fields did these colours wave to the breeze, and damp and the ravages of rats and mice are responsible for their present condition’.

The colours had become fragile, fragmentary and soiled. Large areas of silk loss made the flags very hard to interpret. Surprisingly, the complex embroideries which decorated the centre of the flags were predominately intact although structurally very weak.

The conservation treatment of these two flags included: surface cleaning; removal of the central embroideries; wet cleaning; crease removal; mounting on a padded board covered by a digitally printed image of the flag to enable interpretation and covering with a specially dyed nylon net which prevents the loss of the fragmentary silk.

The conservation will enable access, display and research by ensuring the longevity of these precious and important flags.

On April 28th 1742 Henry Dundas, powerful politician, known as "Uncrowned King of Scotland was born.

Sometimes there are posts I make about people I just don't like, Dundas is one of those people. I mentioned "The Uncrowned King of Scotland", well he did have another name, he was less affectionately known as, "the Great Tyrant"

No great surprise that he was a lawyer turned politician – a very capable and ruthless one, commonly known as the Governor General who effectively ruled Scotland for over thirty years.

But the power he exercised as William Pitt’s fixer in London was much greater. He was variously Home and War Secretaries, First Lord of the Admiralty and Treasurer of the Royal Navy. Above all, he was the critical figure in the expansion of British trading empires in India and the West Indies through what has been described as “pillage and patronage”

Dundas had fingers in a lot of pies, but most notable was his opposition to the abolition of slavery, which he delayed for years and even on it's abolition made sure his friends in the trade were suitably compensated.

He was "relieved of his cabinet post and position as head of the Admiralty after a misappropriation of funds, the sums were astronomical for the time, in fact even nowadays it would have created a massive scandal, some £15 million over two decades. He was impeached due to this and was the last person to be tried in the House of Lords, choosing to be tried there rather than face a criminal trial, the Lords acquitted him but it left his political career in ruins.

Married twice, first to Elizabeth, daughter of David Rannie, of Melville Castle, in 1765. Almost all of his wealth (£10,000), as well as the castle, came to him through this marriage but, after leaving Elizabeth in the country residence while he remained in Edinburgh, she committed adultery with a Captain Faulkner in 1778. Within days she had confessed by letter to her husband, and approximately a month later they were divorced. She never saw her children again, dying in 1847, aged 97. Henry Dundas, as was THE law at thetime, keeping all of the money and property. He then married Lady Jane Hope, daughter of John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun, another wealthy woman.

Henry Dundas died in May 1811, aged 69 and despite his fall from grace a public subscription for a memorial had already raised £3000 five years before his death, many of you will have walked past this memorial and statue which tops it in the middle of St Andrews Square. This was truly monumental. Robert Louis Stevenson’s grandfather even had to design a new crane to build it with 1500 tonnes of stone. The final cost was £8000, there is still doubt about whether his statue was intended to be put on top. It may have been an afterthought.

While we celebrate the statues we have in Edinburgh, the Damned Rebel Bitches history group points out, there are more than 200 hundred of them in Edinburgh but only two are of women and even two of dogs!

I took the picture from The Scott Monument in February 2016, I find it quite ironic, that given his resistance to abolishing slavery, over the years in the sooty atmosphere we once called "Auld Reekie" his face is now quite clearly black!

Oh Hi!!!! For the asks……

6. What’s one fact about the universe of You Can Fall that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)?

19. If you wrote a spin-off of Open Arms and Wide Awake, what would it involve?

Thank you, lovely friend, for the asks!

6. What’s one fact about the universe of You Can Fall that you didn’t get a chance to mention in the fic itself?

Wow, this one sent me on a deep dive. I had so much plotted out in this universe. Patrick lives in Dovercourt Village, David in the Annex. I absolutely did google the distances between them and the store (near Dundas St West) to see if they were walkable.

That isn't the juiciest of tidbits, so I'll add that in the chapter where David meets the Brewers, they do end up spending the next day making good use of more than one room of the house (although David feels it's disrespectful to do anything in the kitchen). A missing scene I'm going to get to at some point ...

8. What song would make a great fic (to either write or read)?

I love the lyrics to "The Night We Met" - "I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you" - they're so bittersweet and angsty! But it would need to come with some serious HEA.

Maybe "I Hate This Town" would be good. Or something fun made out of "Still Don't Know". Or - OOH! - "I Had a Dream Last Night!"

I have plans for "Ivy" ...

19. If you wrote a spin-off of Open Arms and Wide Awake, what would it involve?

You're really going to make me think, aren't you? Lessee ...

With the admission that I could never make it work, the first thing that pops into my head is an Ivan POV of it - watching David and making his assessments, watching his beloved romcoms, observing the small glimpses he gets of Patrick and David together, then intervening at the end. He'd probably need his own cute romantic subplot with Twyla, too.

Ask me things!
