My cats are being nice to me. This is scary, I’m not sure what they want.
What do you think to my new tattoo ? Actually the surgeon drew it on before recent surgery to remind him not to remove the wrong hand. Did I say hand ? I meant kidney stone ! Recovering well btw !
My Dad’s kitchen wall. Neil Kinnock ( & Joe Biden) famously talked about being the first in the family to get a University degree. Well so was I. I sure as hell wasn’t the last though.
Did you ever see these two in a room together ? Coincidence ???
Meanwhile, back in England … (This is 100% real btw)
Thought I’d dig this out ahead of tonight’s game. Aztec was a chocolate bar launched by Cadbury in the UK in time for the Mexico Olympics in 1968, and the World Cup in 1970. Which for many was the high spot of the English & Brazilian classic teams. The chocolate bars were OK too.
There is a similar display of the statue’s history & construction on exhibition at Disneyland Paris, behind Main Street on the left as you walk towards the castle. (Not present in the Florida park). My picture below though is in the Musée D’Orsay in Paris, a preparatory model. Ain’t she a beauty !
They were really great fireworks Sir, I gotta say. Maybe the best fireworks ever. There’s just one thing I’m still wondering about though Sir, if you don’t mind me asking : When are you gonna release the rest of the Epstein files ???
These are best selling UK available “Irish” sausages. You can get plenty other brands in the “Irish section” of supermarkets here. In truth these Richmond ones are the standard UK brand. Most British people would see these as Irish style British sausages - just normal sausages.
Saw this in France last year It did make me wonder if it was an ad for a tattoo parlour
It’s not as good as that little gold trophy that you can get when it’s the golf club prize giving night I bet Don got a good deal from the trophy shop
It’s here near my house. ( I did spot yours though - looks great !) I’ve got a really good one bang opposite my house. Will post if I find it soon
This one on Facebook arguing about a suggestion that Jerusalem should be England’s national anthem. Wonder if it’s the same Sheila
And yet this person claims to live in Argentina where there is universal healthcare free at the point of delivery. Also Mothers Day in Argentina is in October. This post was on February this year by the way. Same pic.
This is a price I have not seen since around 2019. Morrisons- Leighton Buzzard
Getting strong Trev & Simon vibes from this. Every-Body-Swing-Your-Pants !!
gonna have to some bleeding control spray on me bloody nose innit ! Ker !
When I see generic meds labelled with their manufacturer it conjures up some odd ideas. Pregabalin Crescent sounds just like a street name to me. I can’t help wondering what kind of people live on the Crescent. There must be plenty of other drug streets any ideas ?💡
Do cats come any cuter than this ? It’s Möet & Chandon Rosé in the glass by the way.
I always wondered where fish fingers came from
Look I don’t care if you are the last of the international playboys, you can make your bed like everyone else!
Well that’s an interesting take. Or a pants on fire moment as it’s known in the UK.
Yeah, they’re pretty good. Marks & Spencer had them on offer all over Easter with a store loyalty card, so they were pretty much giveaway. In truth they are slightly excessive - let’s just say they didn’t need much butter !
Quick quiz - what’s the connection between Donald Trump’s plans for the new ballroom at the White House, and this er, …. …. interesting building ?
Traditional Easter Sunday breakfast in Bedfordshire, England
A rare backstage photo ahead of the comedy classic “Abbott & Costello meet Frankenstein”
I like this even more (Little Horton, Bradford)
