Rurally, it had once been to stand at the top of a barren, rock strewn, barely arable field, clutching a set of grubby deeds, naked at the dawn of day, bellowing "Land, land, land" while being fellated by an underage and aptly ginger boy, simultaneously funneling EU funding from some industrious and sober German or other into the nook under your bed for steadfastly refusing to grow anything that might actually eke you a living out of the barren rock you had half conned some senile relative out of, devoutly, on their drink induced deathbed.

'You are all healthy people,' Dostoevsky once said in a conversation, 'but you have no idea what joy that joy is which we epileptics experience the second before a seizure...
