The Working Elephant

 

Yes, from India (or maybe Ceylon / Sri Lanka), we have a slide of a log-dragging elephant.

Not much else to say.

Bonus.  Last night, Donald Trump marked 100 days in power. 

And he thinks he's done really really well.

Let that sink in for  moment.

Scorecard

Mr Ted "Theodore" Logan.

 

While he shared his name with Ted for Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Theodore possessed none of the charm or personality of Ted.

Bonus - 

Some More ... Folk Dancing

 

And here from 1968, we have Folk Dancing - Woodchurch School Carnival.

So, that's quite nice.

Nice day for it. And same here in Slideville.

Bonus - 

The Gang's All Here

Wedding Season, and there are few Bridal Parties quite as .... ditinctive as this one.

Doug and Debbie, Norm the Best Man, Doug's Parents (Melvin and Agatha), Debbie's Parents (Peregrine and Eunice), the Bridesmaids ( Felicity, Jenny and Brian (Yes ... I know, but he asked)) and Flower Girls (Alice and Enid).  Phew.

Bonus - 

 

On A Trip to New York

 

Looking down on the poor people in the Chrysler Building.

Bonus - No, not gonna mention Trump at the Pope's Funeral.... Nope.

Bonus 2 - 

Friday Bridal Fashion

 

Springtime, and a couple's fancy turns to ... Fashion.

Especially, Wedding outfits.

Popular in 1970's America, the Butler and Lace Doily combo.

Bonus - Ignoring Trump for a little...

Historians dispute Bayeux tapestry penis tally after lengthy debate

Bonus 2- 

Granny's Flower Border

 

Not Granny's Front Garden, because that would be ... weird.

No, this is the garden at the rear of Granny's Bungalow.  Nice Delphiniums. 

She's been asked "Is it better in a bed, or up against as wall?"

Bonus - 

A Happy St George's Day to all.

 

All throughout England, the merry citizens are celebrating the saints day of St George, the Patron Saint of Engerland, Bulgaria, Malta, Catalonia Scouting and Syphilis.

And how better to celebrate St George than with a view of Merrie Olde England.

Polperro, I think. Here?

Curses

Bonus - 

Ooooh. A Car Park !

 

For a "Tedious Tuesday" slide, there's possibly a few things of interest here.

The name that you're squinting to read is "Alveston Manor Hotel", and it's still in business in ... Stratford.

The car park has an eclectic selection of classic British motor cars.

But...still dull.

Bonus 

Bonus 2 - Nicely done, The Times.

Shining Out Like A Shaft of Gold

 

Technically, this a Bad Photograph. Too much contrast between light and shade, meaning that most of the family appear as dark shadows on a dark background.  

BUT I LIKE IT.  The photographer captured the exact moment that Millicent react to the gopher scurried 

up he leg. She chose the wrong day to "Go Commando".

Bonus - Pope Donny?

Easter Sunday Fashion

 Someone's off to see Grandma, or maybe off to church with he Easter Basket of Goodies.

Bonus - Trump - Deporting people with ... (checks) ...  Autism Support Tattoos.

Bonus 2 -  POTUS's message of Peace and Love for All.  Probably from The Bible 2, written by DJT.

A Sombrero is a Bold Fashion Choice

 

Another from the 1973 School Trip. Three lovely ladies.

I wonder where they are now...

Bonus - 

Bonus 2 - 

At The Bullfight

 

From the "School Easter Trip to Ibiza 1973" set, a trip to the Bullfight.

Bonus - Another entry for Trumps "Make _______ Great Again" challenge.  Example... Showers.

Bonus 2 - 

Sitting by the pool

 

Miss Madeleine "Maddy" Humby, of Reno Nevada. Later to achieve fame as the first nude on the Internet.

Allegedly.

Bonus - 

Are you tired of these?

How America Used To Shop

 

Seriously, before Amazon, before Internet, before superstores, before boutique clothing outlets ... this is what shops looked like.

Weird, huh?

More Info

Jackboots and Ice-creams in Guernsey

 

Beware. The full-size image is a bit larger than normal, but there seems to be a wealth of detail in the background that may delight local researchers.

Other slides in this box had a distinct Channel Island vibe to them, and this slide is almost certainly of St Peter Port on Guernsey.

For one thing, the Sunday Mirror poster is for a book or article by Frederick W Falla who is a bit of a legend in Guernsey Historical Circles.

Beside that is a map of Guernsey.

The two shops... "Book(s) and Co" turns up accountants, but I suspect it's unrelated. "The Pioneer" is a well known name, but closed in 2011. This article does have a picture of the shop...which seems to match up with mine. 

Bonus - Slow Emotion Replay - The The

The Ice Capades of 1964

 

Not much to say about this.

Bonus -  The Future of Dishwashers !

Bonus 2 - 

A Cabin the Woods

 

Vibrant colours, courtesy of Kodachrome.  Nice.

Bonus - 

"For, By and About Teens"

 

I couldn't find any information about "Teen Track" magazine on the interweb, so it may be a very small, local church magazine.

And this might be the only remaining evidence of it. Weird.

Bonus - Who fancies an A-Z Alphabet Book Quiz?

Monkeon's Alphabet Book Quiz

A look of utter disdain

 

I have no idea why Wilbur is so disdainful of Ella's action... but clearly he is annoyed about something.

Bonus -  Normal for Sweden, perhaps.

Bonus 2 - 

Oh, another Church.

 

Yesterday, we rather missed out on a Tedious Tuesday slide, so as compensation....have a Tedious Wednesday Church slide.

Usual blank for info on the slide, but I think this is The Church at the Hospital of the Holy Cross.

Bonus - 

The More Things Change...

So, I was browsing through the slide collection, looking for a Tedious Tuesday candidate, when THIS one popped up.

Hmmmm.    It must be an omen.

This slide probably dates from 1960's America, but I'm sure the sentiment remains with Mango Don in 2025.

Bonus :

Speaking of whom...

 

The Power of the Sea.

 

I was going to entitle this American Sea Power.... but that might have attracted the US Navy nutters.

Bonus - Yes, more

Decisions

Explained

Bonus 2 -

"Yeah, That's where we Whacked him."

 

Frank "The Haberdasher" Coccotti, former enforcer for the Scarloni Family, reminisces about that time he whacked Freddy The Snitch, and disposed of the body in Lake Woebegone.

Allegedly.

Bonus - 

Grand National Day

 

Alas, this slide is (probably) not Aintree.

I suspect it's Chester Race Course. Nice.
