Travellers parking unauthorised on land in Bristol and surrounding regions up by two-thirds

Travellers parking unauthorised on land in Bristol and surrounding regions up by two-thirds

Dozens of caravans were counted on unauthorised sites in Bristol and the surrounding area this year – as campaigners fight to increase site provision for Gypsy and Traveller people across England. Figures from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities show that in January, 6 caravans were on land not owned by Travellers, and another 31 were on sites that they did own – but did not…

John Stadnicki Student Photography Award

On 24th August 2023 it will be a year since my husband, the photographer John Stadnicki (1961-2022), died.

John worked at the South Gloucestershire and Stroud…

'Work... has revealed no less than five layers of wall paintings on parts of the south wall of the nave, the earliest of which may have depicted St Christopher and a later painting of a large royal coat of arms'

Five layers of wall paintings (I'm breathless) in the 13th century church of St Arild, out in the fields of Oldbury-on-the-Hill, Gloucestershire.

I think the most pertinent, fundamental question to ask at this point is: How canon do we want to make the 1981 musical Cats by Andrew Lloyd Webber to Better Bones? Since you've done so fantastically well at fleshing out alternate but no-less-viable systems of belief, that door has been left wiiiide open. Stripped of the zany dance numbers and stage actors in copious makeup, you can't deny that the underlying Jellicle cat religion / Heavyside Layer wouldn't be out of place. Don't lie to us. Don't you dare.

We don't know when the musical takes place, but as for where, the Jellicle Cats and their religion are centralized in a junkyard somewhere in London. Depending on how far their area of influence extends, there could be a few cats in a sect or two of BloodClan who practice the faith of a land to the south, or otherwise believe in the existence of the Heavyside Layer. Or say, the junkyard is done away with in the late 90's and a diaspora of Jellicle Cats spreads across the land. Their descendants hope one day to make the pilgrimage for one last ball, and are invariably seen as Rather Offputting by everyone. (In-story it'd all amount to rare sequiturs from a nameless extra or two which increase in probability the further one heads south.)

Hey bonefall hey, do you think Skyclan has a word for this? It'd be a corruption of the English "dear little [cats], of which "Jellicle" is a romanization. How would you say Jellicle with Clanmew pronunciation?

You can't run from this forever.

Stripped of the zany musical numbers and stage actors in copious makeup??? What are you, Tom Hooper?!

If you're going to put the Jellicles in the BB Universe, you fucking BETTER be taking inspiration from the cancelled 1997 Steven Spielberg animated musical adaptation which places the cats in postwar London sometime circa 1945 and implied that the cats had heavily cultural emphasis on song, dance, and performance

Which btw would place Grizabella's Jellicle Ball pretty firmly in the Code Era of my adaptation (built around the canonical tidbit that Turtle Tail was hit by a Ford Model T meaning the Dawn Era was pre-war).

It would be before the main Warrior cast is born (Except Holly due to infamous Time Travel Shenanigans)-- but Jellicles, after all, were there when the Sphinx was built, so it's safe to assume they'd still be around in the future as a cultural group.

Really the biggest barrier is that they live in bloodbourne London. Too far southeast to communicate with Clan cats or even BloodClan, who are northwest. Park Cats are from further south, but no further south than Gloucestershire at most.

So, serious answer, they can absolutely be canon in this universe, or at the very least they can be slotted in easily. I built a brand new religion system exactly to accommodate the existence of multiple cultural groups and honor the afterlives of each.

In fact, Jellicles fit perfectly into it.

They have a heaven (Heavyside Layer) but no hell, exactly the way that a "vanilla" type religion can form on its own. Really there's just one question-- what's their leader power?

Old Deuteronomy...

Is said to have lived many lives in succession (possible continual reincarnation?)

May choose the next cat to ascend to the Heavyside Layer (immediate patronification?)

But at the same time, there are some cats who seem to display magical powers, akin to the Sister's power distribution system. Mr. Mistoffelees is one, able to perform simple magical tricks. As far as I remember, there are two.

Conjuration (Ability to change the location of an object in space)

Levitation

These both seem like versions of the same power, really. It makes sense, too, that culturally they would value agility to the point of veneration. It ties into dancing, avoiding cars and dogs, stealing things.

In any case though-- you begin to lose these sorts of abilities the further you go from a group, without some kind of token. The Sisters are the example I've written so far; Tree needs some kind of item in order to see ghosts when he's not near the rest of the Sisters. The Jellicles are also a pretty proud group, I can't see them making these "tokens" for any old wanderer.

So maybe there's just a few of them, and Macavity has one stolen?

hmmmm... Maybe those reincarnations have to do with who's supposed to Hold The Token, and Old Doot has basically been one of them for eons. Maybe Mistoffelees was the most recent reincarnation from the Jellicle Ball?

Anyway TL;DR yeah Jellicle cats can exist in Better Bones, they're just too far away to interact with Clan cats.

Clanmew pronunciation of Jellicle = "Shewakl"

Lewis: "Was death instant?" Morse: "Instantaneous, Lewis. Coffee may be instant, death may not." (Colin Dexter; Inspector Morse)

Born in Gorton, Manchester, on 3 January, 1942, John Edward Thaw, CBE, was an English actor, perhaps best remembered for his role as Chief Inspector Morse (adapted from the novels of Colin Dexter, by Zenith Productions for Central Independent Television; 1987 - 2000)

John grew up in Gorton and Burnage, his mother having left when he was seven. Thereafter, he attended the Ducie Technical High School for Boys, and later the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA).

Soon after leaving RADA, John  made his formal stage début in A Shred of Evidence, at the Liverpool Playhouse (his performance earning him a contract with the theatre). His first film role was opposite Tom Courtenay in the adaptation of The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962), and he also acted on-stage that year opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in Semi-Detached.

Thereafter, John appeared in several episodes of the BBC police series Z-Cars. Though it was his performances as the hard-bitten, tough-talking Flying Squad detective, Jack Regan, in The Sweeney (1975–1978), that established him as a major star in the United Kingdom.

John's final appearance as the opera-loving, crossword-solving Morse, was in The Remorseful Day; where, filmed in the grounds of Exeter College, Morse suffered a heart attack, and later died in the John Radcliffe Hospital.

John Thaw died on 21 February, 2002, seven weeks after his 60th birthday, the day after he signed a new contract with ITV. At the time of his death he was living at his country home, near the villages of Luckington and Sherston in Wiltshire.

He was cremated in a private service in Westerleigh, near Yate in South Gloucestershire. A memorial service was held on 4 September, 2002, at St Martin-in-the-Fields church in Trafalgar Square. The service was attended by 800 people, including: Charles, Prince of Wales (now His Majesty King Charles III), Richard Attenborough, Tom Courtenay and Cherie Blair.

World War I Victoria Cross Recipient, Eugene Paul Bennett.

Born in Caincross, Stroud, Gloucestershire. During an advance at Le Transloy, France, on November 5, 1916, Lieutenant Bennett was in command of the second wave of the attack. When he found the first wave had suffered heavy casualties and its commander had been killed, Lieutenant Bennett advanced at the head of the second wave. He reached his objective with sixty men and took steps to consolidate his position. Under heavy German fire and being wounded, he remained in command, directing his men in capturing the enemy line. For most conspicuous bravery, he was awarded the Victoria Cross at Buckingham Palace from H.M. King George V on May 10, 1916. He returned to France, at the rank of Captain, joined the 4th Battalion Worcestershire Regiment and was wounded at the Battle of Courtrai in October 1918. After the war, he became an attoney for the Prosecuting Council on the South-East Circuit London, (1931-35), on the London Magistrate Court until 1946, followed by Marlborough Street Court until he retired in 1961. He died at the age of 77 in Vicenza, Italy.
