Legend of the Peeing briton

Павел Тюрин

�Legend of Blockhead and His Nessie’ is an incredibly (!) well-documented story about one Richard Blockhead and about his feat at the Fatherland and Freedom monument in Riga, Latvia. This is a story of a man who courageously challenged the dogma of modern society, of his unbelievable cultural and historical discoveries that were made in his ancestral mansion near Loch Ness in Scotland.

The reader will also find out the alternative story of the Universe’s origin; how Lucifer became God’s rival and how, for that, he was turned into a snake-like monster, Nessie. The monster was kicked out of Heaven, and Richie was exiled from the paradise of civilised humanity on Earth. The two outcasts, one from Heaven, another from earth, became friends for neither wanted to live within the constraints of laws. They longed for their infinite freedom, even though it meant sacrificing their comfort.

This book is addressed not only to those who love fantasy and adventure genres, but also to the readers with philosophical mindsets who are interested in personal and creative psychology.

Legend of Blockhead and His Nessie

Riga 2015

November 11 2006

As they struck midnight, the clocks of Riga, Latvia, started the Lāčplēsis Day[1 - Lāčplēsis Day (Latvian: Lāčplēša Diena) is celebrated on November 11, the victory over the Bermontians at the battle of Riga (please see the details on p. 201).], the day when a British citizen urinated on the Latvian �Fatherland and Freedom Monument’ for the first time in history. His name, of course, was Blockhead – Richard P. Blockhead[2 - Drawings, photographs and illustrations have been authorised for use in this book by Mr. Richard P.

Foreword

This past event would be remembered as rather commonplace, since many tourists urinate anywhere they please on the streets of Riga. But it wasn’t due to the singularity of the place where the incident occurred. It happened at the foot of the �Fatherland and Freedom Monument’ considered by the locals as an altar of freedom and a visible symbol of Latvia’s independence.

Many expected that this daring act would be followed by the demonstrations of protest near the British Embassy. But instead, after a short vacillation, this Blockhead’s behaviour did not cause protests, but shock and confusion, and even real admiration.[3 - As the further history shows this �celebratory’ astonishing incident turned into a new English extreme activity. It was later followed by the Irish, Portuguese, and other Caucasian nationalities.] A similar event of the 17th century was often recalled, at that time, in connection with Little Julien. He peed on the front porch of the local fairy, angered her and she turned him into rock.[4 - According to another legend, simplified but nevertheless heroic, this little boy saved the city from the threat of the imminent fire. By peeing, he extinguished the burning wick beneath the gunpowder that had been laid out by the enemy under the city walls. Hence the boy became famous far beyond Flanders.] Despite such cruel punishment for a child, good people of Brussels never doubted that such an act was the boy’s way to proclaim the strength of the human spirit. He contested the witchcraft and sorcery that engulfed Europe at the time. And then a talented sculptor made a wonderful statue of the petrified Julien that has been set in the centre of the city. Now the historians write that �Petit Julien’ symbolises freedom of self and the maverick spirit of the
