Although there isn’t much privacy when the only thing separating him from his next door neighbor is a very thin wall. He is glad to be away from his roommates and to finally have some privacy. Cute, not that special.Chris has moved in to a single dorm room. Lots of intense moments and some great chemistry between the bo. Their conversation get more and more personal and one hot thing eventually leads to another. To begin with, they only talk 'through the wall' and are not sure of each other outside. The boys had already met before and both have somewhat fond memories of an awkward moment shared in a tent once upon a time at camp. He doesn't get quite as much privacy as he'd expected when he discovers that the walls are paper thin and he can literally have a normal conversation with his next door neighbour, Peter (who is openly gay). Chris (who thinks he is straight) manages to get himself a single room on the other side of campus, wanting some peace and quiet away from sharing a room with his friends. The play stays true to the essence of Spike Milligan’s comic novel with its surreal and chaotic humour, whilst bringing it to life on stage. "Big Telly’s stage adaptation of Puckoon is certainly a very funny and zany treat. “A man can’t have everything - I mean, where would he put it?” "My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic." "Money can't buy friends, but you get a better class of enemy." "Is there anything worn under the kilt? No, it's all in perfect working order." "I spent many years laughing at Harry Secombe's singing until somebody told me that it wasn't a joke." "I have the body of an eighteen year old. "How long was I in the army? Five foot eleven." Then with a wooden foot, and finally with a piece of string." "For ten years Caesar ruled with an iron hand. "Contraceptives should be used on all conceivable occasions." "Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs?" "And God said, 'Let there be light' and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected." "A sure cure for seasickness is to sit under a tree." Some famously funny Spike lines, including some that can be found in his hilarious novel Puckoon. The bibliography is appended primarily to assist those interested in selecting for future study the most authoritative and important items dealing with philosophy and symbolism. For the sake of clarity, all footnotes were eliminated, the various quotations and references to other authors being embodied in the text in their logical order. The collection of reference material was begun in 1921, and three years later the plans for the book took definite form. The greater part of the research work, however, was carried on prior to the writing of the manuscript. Work upon the text of this volume was begun the first day of January, 1926, and has continued almost uninterruptedly for over two years. To bring about this coalescence of Beauty and Truth has proved most costly, but I believe that the result will produce an effect upon the mind of the reader which will more than justify the expenditure. The present work is an attempt to supply a tome worthy of those seers and sages whose thoughts are the substance of its pages. NUMEROUS volumes have been written as commentaries upon the secret systems of philosophy existing in the ancient world, but the ageless truths of life, like many of the earth's greatest thinkers, have usually been clothed in shabby garments.

Broadly interdisciplinary, Consciousness: An Introduction, Second Edition, is divided into nine sections that examine such topics as how subjective experiences arise from objective brain processes, the basic neuroscience and neuropathology of consciousness, altered states of consciousness, mystical experiences and dreams, and the effects of drugs and meditation. Now in a new edition, this innovative text is the first volume to bring together all the major theories of consciousness studies-from those rooted in traditional Western philosophy to those coming out of neuroscience, quantum theory, and Eastern philosophy.
