This is an ‘html-only’ version of Scribblings with no database behind it. This means it is not possible to search it. I am working on a new version with which I am hoping to eventually put back into the main site. The new version is here but please note that there is no link directly back to the main site.

A Message from Albia
A Message from Albia is a rather lovely weblog about the imaginary country of Albia which bears a remarkable, if somewhat skewed, resemblance to the UK.
If you pay it a visit I reckon you should start with either the Albia Factbook or the Gazeteer which details the lovely customs, such as bear baiting, and the slightly strange people who inhabit and run the country. The Home Secretary of Albia, a man with the name Fanatik Loon, is described in the Gazetteer thus:
Albia’s Home Secretary. A lifelong member of the Krep Proti and former leader of Ztil’s town council, Mr Loon was once known as a leftwing firebrand but he is now happy to be seen as being somewhat to the right of centre, provided the centre in question is itself somewhat to the right of Genghis Khan. Mr Loon is a man of deep religious faith, which he tries to put into effect in his daily life, such as by his recent attempts to re-introduce stoning as a penalty for minor infringements of the penal code.
There’s loads and loads more stuff like this. Well worth a read during the dark winter nights.
Hey, I’ve just noticed that this is my 100th posting.
An apology
Since moving the site to a new server Scribblings is not as easy to find your way around as it used to be. It used to depend on a script and a database on the server but is currently served as ‘flat html’.
I have some ideas about how to make it a bit easier but they depend on writing another script. I hope to get around to it ‘eventually’.
