Dreamtime, Wombles and Ingenious Originals

How would you like it, as a reasonably well adjusted and happy grown up, if me and Angie came into your house and insisted you behave like a pussycat?

If we insisted you ate from bowels on the floor and did your pee-pee and poo-poos in kitty litter and slept in baskies on the floor? If you could only do as we say in your house and do things our way, the pussycat way? If everything you did had to be approved by pussycats to ensure your behaviour complied with pussycat standards? I don't think you would like it and I think you would do something about it very soon. After all, it is your house and you want to live your life your own way in your house, don't you? When you invite pussycats to live in your house you give them leeway to live as pussycats and both grown-ups and pussycats live happily together. Just like me, Angie, Mum and Dad.

But in Nostailia it is different. Nostailia was the home of the Originals, it was their house. They lived happily with the Pissbums, Wobbelies, Cock one-twos and even the Wombles. They lived a perfectly happy existence for lots and lots of years with no problems. They told stories and had dances and talked about the dreamtime. It was like their religion. Any religion based on sleep can only be a good thing.

Suddenly and without warning other grown-ups came who had a different way of living and upset the originals way of life. They took the land the Originals lived on and built on it and drove around in their boxes on wheels and dirtied the air and the rivers. They were really, really naughty and didn't even want to say sorry. They forced the Originals to live like them and even stole their children because they thought they did not bring them up properly. They wanted the Originals to die out.

Now the Originals are fighting to get some of what is theirs back. They don't want everything. They just want to be recognised and be let live the way they have for such a long, long time. I think as long as the Originals are sad Nostailia will be sad. It is like a big sad spirit looking down from the sky.

Just like pussycats and grown-ups can live together while still remaining pussycats and grown-ups, I think the Originals and other grown-ups can live together if there is a little bit or respect and understanding. After all, they lived here very happily for a very, very long time. They were so successful some people call them the Ingenious Nostailians. Even the Prune Minister Julio Buzzard, I heard her on the box that talks.
