A wonderful person - not very like a woman, you know?

T.E. Lawrence on his friend Gertrude Bell

In many ways the life of T.E.arc Lawrence and Gertrude Bell was similar and overlapped in many ways. Two remarkable persons who represented the height of the British Empire heroism.

Lawrence is undoubtedly the more famous of the pair, branded in Orientalist film history by Peter O’Toole as Lawrence of Arabia, headdress and all. But historians and contemporaries would arguably say, rightly in my opinion, that Bell’s influence on the Middle east region may have outweighed that of her overly confident friend and colleague, T.E. Lawrence. The First World War made Gertrude Bell into the icon she was to become after her death.

At the same time the First World War and its aftermath are a story of disappointment and depression for Gertrude Bell. Early on, she sees the war as the “end of the order we’re accustomed to” - a Whiggish order in which she had believed that British power could be exercised for good; she witnesses and fears the general abandonment of the belief that “there’s room enough in the sun” for everyone. Scales fell from her eyes earlier for her than for others of her class charged with redrawing the map of the Middle East and especially the fate of the Arabs.

Just before the installation of Prince Feisal, the not-yet-Iraqi tribes rebel. The colonial administration wants to adopt the position vacated by the Ottomans and demands of each tribe a poll tax. These are the the tribes that had been promised sovereignty. That is why they’d fought the Ottomans and sided with the allies: to be rid of their masters, not to swap them for some new ones. When the tax goes unpaid, the aerial bombardment of villages starts.

Gertrude Bell writes home, distraught, already blaming the curse it is that oil has been discovered in this land. Churchill had seen from the start of the war that oil independence for the empire would be the great strategic prize of the war as well as a tactical military requirement. There was never anything innocent in the War Office’s late recruitment of Bell to the Cairo office to work alongside T.E. Lawrence (who, in what is presumably for him the highest of compliments, writes of her that she is “not very like a woman”).

As the war and the aftermath of the Paris Peace 1919 gives way to the realpolitik of the grab for oil-rich Ottoman lands in the 1920s, she tries to warn that “no people likes permanently to be governed by another”.

Dutifully, she draws the boundaries of the new Kingdom of Iraq to balance Sunni and Shia numbers – “to avoid a theocratic state”. The Cairo Conference in 1921 set out to achieve this end and resulted in Feisal being given a Kingdom in Iraq and his brother the throne of neighboring Transjordan.

However in the end, she concludes that “making kings is too great a strain” because, we feel, she knows that Britain’s promises of sovereignty will be empty.

The talent and sympathy of the likes of Gertrude Bell don’t count for much against the onward march of power and the interests of those who wield it.

Yes-Man!

Andrae is home early from work, and for good reason! Alright! This is what I like to see! Most of my sim's lives are really starting to fall into place!

No time to waste! Better get that extra charisma skill you need so you don't lose your new promotion!

Daniella is enjoying her last day of summer playing with new toys and painting.

Andrae was stressed from practicing his speech and ran down to the karaoke bar.

And where were the kids? Back home crying of course. Where is the baby sitter? Better yet, where is Precious?

She's gone collecting of course. Oh well, the extra money is always nice, even if the proceeds from collectables will now be taxed with the new system I've been working on!

Looks like it's back to practicing speech and just in time. It's the full moon, better make sure everyone is home safe and sound!

Time for bed little ones.

And Daniella, but not before a bedtime story.

Woohoo! Forrest Noel has aged up!

A-T-4 120 Nermin Niazi and Feisal Mosleh Sari Sari Raat

It’s funny how I'm only aware of a record made in my hometown via an American reissue label. Here’s the blurb on their Bandcamp

Rescued from obscurity, “Disco Se Aagay”— literally “Beyond Disco”— is an unexpectedly perfect storm of two unlikely sources: the visionary sound of British new wave seamlessly interwoven with the Pakistani musical heritage of its teenage dreamers, Nermin Niazi and Feisal Mosleh.

Recorded over the course of a summer school holiday in 1984 at the storied Zella Studios, the album was produced by the legendary Oriental Star Agencies record label in Birmingham.

Influenced by the likes of Depeche Mode and Human League as well as the luminous disco of subcontinental icons like Nazia Hasan, musical ingenues 14-year-old Nermin and her 19-year-old brother Feisal created a new wave masterpiece with an unexpected twist — Urdu-language lyrics and Hindustani melodic scales.

Nermin Niazi and Feisal Mosleh are siblings who migrated with their parents to the Birmingham in the UK from Pakistan as babies in the aftermath of the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. Their father is the film composer Muslehuddin and their mother the playback/ghost singer Naheed Niazi. I’m just learning the term nepo baby

The siblings come from a musical legacy going back generations, I couldn’t tell you if the remained active in music but as children they were certainly in a privileged position to be around some of Pakistans best and most successful musicians. Nermin Niazi and Feisal Mosleh’s sole album Disco Se Aagay was recorded at Zella Recording Studios in Birmingham and engineered by Rod Brooks and Steve Harris, the later has worked with some big artists

A Real Birthday Surprise

Shana is still asleep, but good morning little Feisal! It's your birthday today!

Time to blow out the candles!

Oh no!

Oh no! No! No! I was not expecting this! It was at this point that I realized this house is not equipped with a smoke detector! Oh please nobody die!

Wah, wah, wah...Well at least everyone is okay! After replacing the counter and cake it's take two, sans Andrae because he had to run off to work.

With the kids growing fast and years before I'll be back with the Gillis family, it's time to finish out the attic space and do some rearranging!

OMG! Another wedding is in the works!

Alright Andrae and Jody seems to be doing well in school!

Oh no! No wedding I guess. This will go down as the second shortest engagement in the entire save! Right after Shayne and Edith that lasted all of five seconds...facepalm.

Poor Terrell! Dumped at his own engagement party! Well at least it sounds like the party was fun, LOL!

Christina has aged up! I can't believe it! Almost every toddler from our first baby wave has aged into a child!

Just a little light reading to finish out the night.

Ummm...no...It's not even Love Day and Andrae is getting random love notes from happily married sims!
