Here is the Royal Librarian Swampirella and Royal Magician Helrunar planning my route. It's exciting times in Castle Tuvstarr! The look you make when you realize you'd stuffed too many books inside your oversize hat It's where you keep your huge brain from reading them all.

There are fungus forests down there, does anyone have a handy guidebook on the edible ones? On that topic, the head dress you are wearing in your new profile pic looks remarkably like Psilocybe semilanceata. Or maybe that's just me.

But not just any mushroom, you are suggesting I am of the hippie variety! I declare you to be a drug crazed fiend who hallucinates beautiful women into fungus, and therefore, I'm afraid, like Sam Dawson you are Blocked!

Among the things I learnt today on this site include: That my champion Dr Strange is a spaced out drug fiend and believes I am a mushroom, that Sam Dawson doesn't like the use of the word gotten, and therefore hates all Americans and Canadians, and that when you explore the inside of the Earth you should take a member of Abba. Oh that every day was so productive!

Dr Strange I think it is best we tested you. Here is a perfectly normal photo of me, now be honest and say exactly what you see: Everything fine?

Oh that every day was so productive! Don't forget the duck, that's very important--just ask Mr James Mason. Oh, and a middle-ranking singer from the colonies is a handy option to burst into song at appropriate times during your journey into the interior. Note that said duck should be substituted for a chicken for explorations of Cornish coastal tunnels when in pursuit of kidnapped ladies.

These are the Mole People who are among the strange inhabitants of our hollow world. Naturally they worship me as a goddess. They have a primitive culture, almost Stone Age, but they have developed tailoring to a high degree as you can see.

Please be careful, where there are Mole People, you will find John Agar lurking...and you don't want to get into Shirley Temple's bad books.

Today I awoke in my Budapest hotel room (see another thread which I can't be bothered to link to for explanation). I had the strangest dream, I dreamt that even though the year was the same (2021), the world was very different. Strange monstrous vehicles roamed the roads and noisily soared in the sky, and the map of Europe and the world was very different, for a start there was a lack of large red blotches all over it, and the crude Americans and inscrutable Chinese dominated. Fortunately as I drew back the curtains and gazed out over Budapest, joint capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, all was as it should be, airships leisurely glided overhead, and I saw a newfangled omnibus trundle beneath my window, belching steam. To be on the safe side I took down an atlas from a nearby shelf, and saw that we British still owned almost everything. How relieved I was. What a dream - what a nightmare. To calm my beating heart I took down a book of Lord Horatio Ripper's Memoires to read, but alas they had the opposite to my hopes, as all that daring-do and raw courage made my bosom heave even faster (male titillation here). But I digress, for Budapest, city of mystery awaited!
To be continued.

As nobody has asked I thought I would tell you some more about my dream. In that other world it seems China is run by a group of those terrible Marxists, that sometimes cause bother back home, and not by Fu Manchu, like it is in the real world. They don't even have long mustaches, which rules out being wise surely? Also in the history of that world these ghastly Marxists once ruled over half of Europe and a lot of Asia, and even a bit of Africa, how bad would that be? Why in the 1970s in my dream world they even ran Britain for a time. An amazing thought isn't it? I really don't know how that other world keeps going, its leaders seem to be lacking even the most vital elements to run a country, never mind an empire, like a brain. They are often hollowed out men (and an occasional woman, yes amazingly women are involved in politics in that other world, and being royal isn't even a requirement) that smile a lot and are well presented, but have nothing between their ears. And most of them have been to Eton too, so standards have obviously slipped. I have no words to describe recent American presidents in the other world, so I won't, just think the worst (and double it). I must say the USA is a busy, bustling place there, but the people can't even find their own country on a map, which I think says all you need to know. Speaking of maps why their was no sign of certain countries on the dream one. Shockingly I couldn't find Grand Fenwick, Ruritania, Pimlico, and Transylvania; why even the Isle of Sodor was missing from the British Isles.
Perhaps you know a real life nation that didn't shown up on my dream map. Like Grand Fenwick, or Ruritania. Mention it below if you do.

One would have thought that our American colonial cousins would have seen the folly of their ways and begged for re-admittance to the Empire under the wise and benevolent rule of our own dear queen, unlike their loyal compatriots to the north--excepting those dastardly Quebecians--though dear brave General Wolfe saw them off. Hoorah!
I presume that in your dream world the Antipodes were still the realm of sheep, kangaroos and miscreants of the Empire?
Women in politics? You will be telling me next that they have the vote! (shudder)
Was Babar's Kingdom still extent in your dream world, and had it been incorporated into the Empire?
