Tatjana Meissner – Indiscret
Indiscret sind vierzehn Songs: frech und frivol, rotzig und sanft, tiefsinnig und witzig, mitreißend und melancholisch.
Indiscret heißt Tatjana Meissners erste Audio-CD.
Das ist neu.
Aber indiskret ist die Entertainerin schon immer... ein wenig. Die Kabarettistin legt den Finger in die Wunde; spricht aus, was jeder schon einmal gedacht hat und bringt ihr Publikum zum Lachen, indem sie mit viel Selbstironie Themen und Begebenheiten aufgreift, die jeder schon erlebt hat.
In ihren Liedern lästert die Entertainerin über menschliche Laster („Alte Mütter“ und „Kranke Männer“), plaudert von weiblichen Unzulänglichkeiten („Spann mal aus“) und männlichen Abgründen („Er redet nur“). Sie swingt über den „Sinn“ des Lebens, singt melancholisch „Ich werde wie Mama“, rockt den Mauerfall und reggaet die Kraft der Hormone. Die Meissner lässt nichts aus, nichtmal Schlager („Glückspilz“).

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Sankeys Photo Press, Barrow-in-Furness. The image is a real photograph.
The card was posted in Cumberland using two ½d. stamps on Thursday the 11th. June 1931. It was sent to:
W. K. Johnson Esq.,
Cambridge Avenue,
Lincoln.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Wasdale Head,
Cumberland.
Don't let this picture
deter you from ever
coming to the Lakes!
We're going on Scafell
Pike tomorrow if it's fine,
but we're not prepared
for rock climbing!
Walked here today from
Keswick via Buttermere.
Having perfect weather.
Yours,
E. T. P."
Wow! The distance from Keswick to Wasdale Head via Buttermere is about 17 miles of undulating ground.
Wasdale Head and Will Ritson
Wasdale Head is a scattered agricultural hamlet in the Lake District National Park in Cumbria, England. Wasdale Head claims to be home of the highest mountain, deepest lake, smallest church and biggest liar in England. The last of these claims refers to Will Ritson, who paradoxically proclaimed himself as such.
Will Ritson (1808–1890) was landlord of the Wastwater Hotel (now called the Wasdale Head Inn) in Wasdale, and he told grand fables.
One, for example, was about a wounded eagle he found near the inn. He kept it in his chicken coop and nursed it back to health. One night the coop was raided by a bitch hound.
The eagle was unscathed, but five months later the dog gave birth to a litter of winged hounds. The World's Biggest Liar competition is held annually in his memory.
Scafell Pike
Scafell Pike is the highest and the most prominent mountain in England, at an elevation of 978 metres (3,209 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Lake District National Park, in Cumbria, and is part of the Southern Fells and the Scafell massif.
Scafell Pike forms part of the inactive Scafells volcano.
The name Scafell is believed to derive from the Old Norse skalli fjall, meaning the fell with the bald summit, and is first recorded in 1578 in the corrupted form Skallfield.
Formerly the name was spelled Scawfell, which better reflects local pronunciation. This spelling has declined due to the Ordnance Survey's use of Scafell on their 1865 map and thereafter.
Scafell Pike is one of a horseshoe of high fells, open to the south, surrounding the head of Eskdale, Cumbria. The ridge forms the watershed between Eskdale and Wasdale, which lies to the west.
The narrowest definition of Scafell Pike begins at the col of Mickledore 831.6 m (2,728 ft) in the south, takes in the wide, stony summit area and ends at the next depression, Broad Crag Col, c. 877.6 m (2,879 ft).
A more inclusive view takes in two further tops: Broad Crag, 935.3 m (3,069 ft) and Ill Crag, 930.9 m (3,054 ft), the two being separated by Ill Crag Col, 882.3 m (2,895 ft). This is the position taken by most guidebooks.
Scafell Pike also has outliers on either side of the ridge. Lingmell 807 m (2,648 ft), to the north west, is invariably regarded as a separate fell, while Pen, 760 metres (2,490 ft), a shapely summit above the Esk, is normally taken as a satellite of the Pike.
The rough summit plateau is fringed by crags on all sides with Pikes Crag and Dropping Crag above Wasdale and Rough Crag to the east. Below Rough Crag and Pen is a further tier, named Dow Crag and Central Pillar on Ordnance Survey maps, although known as Esk Buttress among climbers.
Broad Crag Col is the source of Little Narrowcove Beck in the east and of Piers Gill in the west. The latter works its way around Lingmell to Wast Water through a spectacular ravine, one of the most impressive in the Lake District.
It is treacherous in winter, as when it freezes over it creates an icy patch, with lethal exposure should you slip.
Scafell Pike has a claim to the highest standing water body in England in Broad Crag Tarn, which (confusingly) is on Scafell Pike proper, rather than on Broad Crag. It lies at about 820 m (2,690 ft), a quarter of a mile (400 m) south of the summit.
Scafell Pike is a Marilyn summit which automatically makes it a HuMP and a TuMP. Scafell Pike is topologically unusual because the Marilyn qualification contour line (150 metres below the summit) passes around Scafell which is itself a HuMP.
The summit was donated to the National Trust in 1919 by Lord Leconfield:
"In perpetual memory of the men of the
Lake District who fell for God and King,
for freedom peace and right in the Great
War 1914–1918."
There is a better-known war memorial on Great Gable, commemorating the members of the Fell & Rock Climbing Club.
The actual height of Scafell Pike is a matter of definition or guesswork. The highest point is buried beneath a massive summit cairn over 3 metres high, and it is not known how high the fabric of the mountain rises under the cairn.
Traditionally the height was given as a very memorable 3,210 feet (978.4 m).
Scafell Pike is one of three British peaks climbed as part of the National Three Peaks Challenge, and is the highest ground for over 90 miles (145 km).
Geology of Scafell Pike
Scafell Pike consists of igneous rock, including breccia, andesite and rhyolite, as well as geothermal tufa, dating from the Ordovician period; it is geologically part of the Borrowdale Volcanics, and along with the other peaks of the Scafells, forms part of an extinct volcano which was active around 400-450 million years ago.
Scafell Pike Summit
The rugged summit of Scafell Pike was shaped by glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum, during which the Lake District was overlain by ice sheets with thicknesses of several kilometers.
The summit plateau of Scafell Pike, and that of other neighbouring peaks, is covered with shattered rock debris which provides the highest-altitude example of a summit boulder field in England.
The boulder field is thought to have been caused in part by weathering, such as frost action. To the north of the summit are a number of high altitude gills which flow into Lingmell Beck. These are good examples in Cumbria for this type of gill, and are also biologically important due to their species richness.
Scafell Pike Tourism
Scafell Pike is a popular destination for walkers. There is open access to Scafell and the surrounding fells, with many walking and rock climbing routes. Paths connect the summit with Lingmell Col to the northwest, Mickledore to the southwest, and Esk Hause to the northeast, and these in turn connect with numerous other paths, giving access to walkers from many directions.
The shortest route is from Wasdale Head, about 80 metres above sea level, where there is a climbers' hotel, the Wasdale Head Inn, made popular in the Victorian period by Owen Glynne Jones and others.
According to the National Trust, as of 2014 there were over 100,000 people per year climbing Scafell Pike from Wasdale Head, many as part of the National Three Peaks Challenge.
Scafell Pike as a Survey Point
Scafell Pike was used in 1826 as a station in the Principal Triangulation of Britain by the Ordnance Survey when they fixed the relative positions of Britain and Ireland.
Angles between Slieve Donard in Northern Ireland and Scafell Pike were taken from Snowdon in Wales, as were angles between Snowdon and Scafell Pike from Slieve Donard.
Given the need for clear weather to achieve these very long-range observations (111 miles (179 km) to Slieve Donard), the Ordnance surveyors spent much of the summer camped on the respective mountain tops.
As the highest ground in England, Scafell Pike has a very extensive view, ranging from the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland to Snowdonia in Wales.
Rioting in Germany
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 11th. June 1931, rioting broke out across Germany in anger at the government's austerity measures.
David Lloyd George
Also on that day, Great Britain's Labour coalition government appeared to be on the verge of collapse when Liberal leader David Lloyd George announced that he would not support the proposed Land Value Tax without an amendment.
June Laverick
The 11th. June 1931 also marked the birth in Redcar, North Riding of Yorkshire of June Laverick. June is an English film, television and stage actress.
She was once described as "a popular lightweight leading actress of the day," and is probably best remembered as the fictional wife of Dickie Henderson in The Dickie Henderson Show.
June Laverick - The Early Years and Marriage
Before June was born her parents ran a public house in Bishop Auckland, but then returned to Redcar to run the Royal Hotel on the sea front near Redcar Pier. June was born in Laburnum Road, Redcar.
In her youth June attended White House school and ballet school. She was determined at an early age that she wanted a career in light entertainment.
June followed an acting career in theatre, film and television, and after retiring from acting in her 30's June moved back to Redcar, marrying an ICI process worker and briefly taking over the licence of the Royal Hotel before returning south alone.
June Laverick's Stage, Film and Television Career
In the 1950's June worked in the theatre in musicals, comedies and revues, and had a variety of film roles contracted to the Rank Organisation.
She was a member of The Company of Youth, the Rank Organisation's acting school often referred to as "The Charm School," and was often photographed for the front covers of cinema magazines and for publicity shots.
Her peak year in films was 1958, where she appeared in three prominent film roles, notably as the leading lady opposite Tommy Steele in The Duke Wore Jeans.
June made an early television appearance in an episode of Boyd Q.C. (1958) and in episodes of Tales from Dickens (1959) as Dora Spenlow. She took over the role of Dickie Henderson's wife from Anthea Askey in ITV's The Dickie Henderson Half Hour and in The Dickie Henderson Show (1960–1963).
After the Dickie Henderson Show, June retired from acting to be replaced by Isla Blair in the next series A Present for Dickie (1969–1970). In 1970 June returned to appear in the last episode.
June Laverick's Personal Life
After June's final appearance on television in the last episode of Dickie Henderson's show, she took over the licence, from her parents, of The Royal Hotel in Redcar.
June was briefly married to Charles Kenneth Cooke, an ICI worker. After the marriage ended she returned to the south of England and spent her time living in Baker Street, London, and became romantically linked with Hughie Green, the Double Your Money television games show host, in the 1960's.
Drama. . . yeah I don't really need/want any of that in my life. So instead, I'll give you Comedy and Tragedy, often associated with drama.
