What The Heck?

 

It seems to be an attempt at "The World's Worst Table-Lamp" creation.

Nice idea (?) Hideous Endpoint.

Bonus - Torture Devices For Your Frat House And Lodge From A 1908 Catalogue

Could be Anycity, Midwest USA

 

No info on the slide, so it could be almost anywhere, USA.

But, using my massive asteroid-sized brain, I think that this might be Huntington, west Virginia.

In fact, those buildings on the bottom left look rather like those in this Streetview view.

Meaning, that building bottom left would be the Carnegie Public Library  as seen from the upper floors of the Army Corp of Engineers building. 

Bonus - 

Banco de Los Andes

 

Where in the world?

Actually, "Banco de Los Andes" is a big giveaway, and the  bus labelled as "Cusco" seems to seal the deal.

Norwich.

Bonus - Naughty, but it makes me laugh.

Sunday - Church and Fur Coats

 

Hi Everyone.

It's Sunday, and time for everyone to put on their Sunday Best clothes (skinned animals if possible), leap into their monstrously large Station Wagons, and head off to hear some parable that gives them reason to look down on the poor and needy.

Bonus - The Red Lipped Batfish

Is it Picnic Season Yet?

 

Nope. Not here in chilly Derbyshire.

But, this slide from California, late summer 1959 shows Mrs Bushman preparing an outdoor spread for the Bushman family.  Nice to see an appearance from some Tupperware containers at this vintage time.

Bonus - 

Lady In Red

 

I wish I knew more about this girl. Who she was, where she was from, whether that was a special outfit .... all that sort of stuff.

But, all I know is that this vibrant slide dates from the early sixties, and  there's a reasonable chance that this  lady has departed this earthly plane.

Hmmm.

Bonus - ‘The working class can’t afford it’: the shocking truth about the money bands make on tour.

Bonus 2 - 

"el Oasis"

 

Well, it looks like Mexico to me, but I'll open it to the viewers to add any better guesses.

I presumed that the sign "refresco nogar" would help searching, but that translates as "Walnut Soda", which sounds unlikely. Refresco is a big drinks brand, worldwide, so...no help.

Bonus - 

Tedious Architecture

 

I did make some efforts to establish where this truly mediocre building is / was, but I soon drifted off into a slumber. The original slide was massively under-exposed, so just be grateful I extracted any info for it.

I did briefly think that this was the gatehouse for HM Prison Ford, but it isn't. 

Bonus - Headline of the day... Derbyshire boy, 9, wins at international 'seagull screeching' contest

Duck Weed in the Canal

 

Filthy beasts.

At least they could do it up against a tree.

Nothing says the arrival of Spring like an out-of-focus narrowboat, being towed thru a weedy canal.

Bonus - Bowling Ball Plus Giant Balloon.

Meanwhile, on the Cote d'Azur...

 

A nice sunny day, here in Slideville. Not as sunny or as warm as here, but still quite pleasant.

This would appear to be Le Lavandou, in the South of France. 1964 (a very good year...).

I bet that the sand is a minefield of dog-crap.

Bonus - Trusting your products braking system...

NOT The Little Mermaid

 

Doesn't look like Copenhagen, and she's definitely not nude.

I'm Guessing Thasos, and Monopetri

Bonus - The Return of Ceefax

Have you been counting? Have you seen 275 falls yet?

 

From one of the South American Adventures boxes. I believe that these are the Iguazu Falls in Argentina/Brazil.

The blog post title was all that was written on this slide.

Bonus - You Like Despots and Music?

The Bear Necessities

 

That which does not kill you, will make you stronger.

Except bears. Bears will just kill you.

Bonus -  

The Magic of Movies

Black Sabbath - 1963
