775.0. "Bartons-Henge" by KERNEL::COFFEYJ (The Uk CSC Unix Girlie.) Wed Jun 29 1994 14:14


So has anyone else seen the markers of lay lines that have been 
unearthed in the middle of our very own Basingstoke? 


Anyone know the rest of the mystic tale?


Will we be having soltice marking ceremonies a-round there 
from now on?

    I think Jo is referring to Stone Henge II which appeared on Daneshill
    Roundabout round about the summer solstice.
    
    Worth a trip...!

775.3..Basingstoke wins neolithic rock in state lottery...FORTY2::GROOMThu Jun 30 1994 08:565
Rumour has it that the new Del a Rue (sp?) building (the new large shed
opposite) as part of its planning permission were obliged to enhance the
nearby roundabout so this is what you ended up with!

I wonder if we can get them to set up a site of national interest on the field by 
the Jays Road/Jays Road junction then opposite their current building 
by Viables... 

BTW it's De La Rue according to the sign there I think... 


775.5The Truth is out there...ARNIES::SMITHP1Steak pie, onions, shreddies & beerFri Jul 01 1994 11:014
	Does this align with the lost railway track artifact in the middle
	of the Viables roundabout ???

775.6so when do we get some Golden Lions on that roundabout...KERNEL::COFFEYJThe Uk CSC Unix Girlie.Fri Jul 01 1994 17:255
I believe it may well, perhaps they're secretly using the roundabouts
of basingstoke to explain to any aliens looking down about the progress
of man and his technology. 


775.7Greetings Earth BeensLARVAE::TCCS09::Ken DCFri Jul 29 1994 17:2519
Hello and bing bong

My Name is Ken and I am the Sub-Grand High Wizard and assistant Lord of the 
Rings of the Ancient Vegetarian Order of Non earth beens (AVONeb), 
Basingstoke Branch. 

You have obviously discovered our secret ritual site of sacrifices. This 
causes me immense grief as I will have to find somewhere else to offer the 
dismembered bodies of virgin olives and carrots to our great donut master.

Does anyone have a nice little round rockery that you don't mind a few 
decent chaps visiting occasionally and sacrificing some raw vegetables?  

Thanks in advance

Ken DC

ps I think I have been laying to close to the exhaust vents again
