I always wondered why the Lifeguards were called the Lifeguards and why they wore those thigh length boots. When I saw the state opening of parliament I witnessed some symbolism that in the ritualistic ceremony made sense.

The Barge master escorted the Crown, while the Lifeguards escorted the Queen. I noticed that the carpet was blue like water not the Royal blue at all, that you would of expectred it to be. The carpet was even light blue representing water.

So when the opening of parliament first took place. I expect that the journey was made from Windsor or Hampton Court by a horse drawn royal barge. So the head honcho was made responsible to ensure that the Crown did not end up in the sink. With the guards being made to wear massive thigh length waders. Hence why they came to be known as lifeguards.

Is there any recods of crowns being lost in the Thames? I expect that the most likely location would be at the points of getting on and off the barge. So it must of happened at least once. Anyone any good with a metal detector? :D

Nice info Ian - thank you for posting. I must watch the video again - I can only see the Queen's speech on the Beeb website at the moment.

I've been after a close-up of the monument outside the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey for quite some time as I believe that the obelisk/monument there MAY be a sailing ship atop it.....

There are similar monuments with ships on them around Europe and it's one of the 'back burner' things I'm always working on. I have a hunch that anything below the ships is in 'Maritime Admiralty Law' - the 'law of water' as you probably know about.

That being said - and I digress a little, although sticking to the 'mer' as in merchants/mer a la Francaise pour sea - I hadn't realised that the road across from that West Door is called 'Tothill Street'. Tot, as I have already learned, is one of the many names for Thoth/Tat/Tot/Toot/Teut/Teutates aka Hermes/Mercury:

Tothill Street, Westminster SW1:

"Built on the site of Tothill Fields, where, in the year 1793, there was a famous beargarden. "Taketh name of a hill near it, which is called Toote-hill, in the great field near the street," says an early topographer. The name of "Tot" is the old British word teut, the German Tuesco, god of wayfarers and merchants. The third day of the week is still named after him. Sacred stones were set upon heights, hence named Tot-hills. Edmund Burke resided here; also Southern, the dramatic poet. Betterton, the actor, was born here in 1635. (Reference: Walcott's Memorials of Westminster, p. 281)"

The Post Office workers in the UK used a banner for the 'Communications Union' which also sported a symbol of Hermes/Mercury/Thoth - the winged Caduceus.

Thoth/Hermes/Mercury is far more important to 'them' than we're supposed to know about imo and I have a hunch this 'god' is one form of 'Apollo'.

Does this logo from the Communication Workers Union contain a hidden winged caduceus (turn it round 1/4 way...).

Here's a link to a Beeb page with banner featured:

Teut - as in Teutates/Teutonic Knights, I'm guessing about and constantly searching for, MUST be linked to Thoth as well.

If anyone has access to an image of that monument at W Abbey I'd love to see it (I know there's one of George and the Dragon around about there).

Interesting this covered quite well in the Redemption Manual but I like the historical etymology of the word Thoth.

Symbolically it is the moment that people sold themselves to their masters the moment they accepted the post code. Perhaps that was the defining alchemical moment when base metals (monsters/humans) became their defining pots of gold.

God knows the miitary junkets filling up my floor today reflect this.

It is on my list of things to do, honest.

That is seal the frigging thing up and inform the post office never to send any mail to me again.

Ah why does Gordon Brown put in a Bill to ensure t'internet is in every home by the year 2010 eh.

Oh life is to be experienced for sure, misery is as misery is. I do have a charmed life. So metal detecting in water might not be so crazy afterall...:confused: GPR wouldn't work very well either, come to think of it.

Would it be so hard a concept, if I was not delusional, and it was the world which was really crazy. What if my life was as I have presented it. How would you feel, if that was you? Would you be able to function with an understanding of events, and of the brutal knowledge that your lifes intellectual creative work had been stolen from you? Well it has taken me a while to get back to the tredding water point I am at.
