Ronseal, really.

Bonus - Every picture is worth a thousand explanations.

Things go better with Shells

It's another Tedious Tuesday slide...and could there be a more uninteresting slide than this?

Bonus - Someone understands cats...

Time for an afternoon nap. Where better than the Penthouse Suite of the Swarkeston Hilton.

Cute and Cuddly Kitty !

Everyone loves kittens.

TRIFFIDS !

Actually, O believe they are Horsetails, and they are Quite Interesting.

No Really.

They (Equisetum) are a world-wide species, and are basically a living fossil.
They spread by spores, rather than seeds.
They were instrumental in the discovery of Fractals.
And, ironically, they're poisonous to horses.

Bonus - Aaaarrrggghhh It's coming after me !!!!


Bonus 2 -Slinky on a treadmill  Ronseal.

Sunset over the commercial docks

Sometimes, the best pictures happen in the foulest of weather.

Just a brief glimpse of sun on a dark, dingy day...and this photographer nailed it.  Well Done.

Bonus : Anyone know the story behind this ?



Bonus 2 : Jealous alpha male monkey "attacks" man

Harbourmaster's Office

No idea where this is, but it looks like a pleasant old cove. A clock so that the ships can set off on time, and a platform for the harbour master to keep an eye on things.


Bonus - Frog in your Throat ?

Late For Lunch

Had a meal out with the gang last night at the always-reliable European, and for a change, I was the last tor arrive. Hey, it wasn't my fault - I was parking the car.

So, that's what inspired the choice of today's slide. Marvellous, innit?

B onus - Insane art formed by carving books with surgical tools

Louise Holding The Baby

Well, that's all that is writ on the slide.

Personally, I believe that Louise checks every morning. Louise and little Damien together in front of the mirror.
Two happy faces - Louise prepares breakfast.
One face....   better fetch the wooden stake and the silver crucifix.

Bonus - Likely to be removed soon, so catch it while you can.  Charlie Brooker on The Sun.

Rock Pool

OK, I have to admit that this should be rotated 90º for accurate viewing, but I just liked the abstract nature of it.


Bonus : Cook Suck.   Reviews of meals that people upload on their Facebook or blog and are proud of for some reason.


Bonus 2 - YumBlog - One of my favourites.
Bonus 3 - 

You Need Wheels

...if you want to attract the babes.

This young chap (Roger) clearly has designs upon this young bikini babe. (I wonder: will that get flagged by some NetNanny software?)

Bonus : Truly Outstanding.
"What's In Spock's Scanner - 3"

Where in the world?

Despite extensive Googling, I'm unable to tell you where this slide was taken.  The only clue was some markings on the slide, which didn't seem to make sense.

City of Leicester

Sign on A46

Leicester

Oct 1975.

Any help?

Bonus : Challenger Shuttle disaster commemorated with Cauliflower.   Oh Yes.

Bowl of Water with Sticks.

If you're looking for Tedious Slides...this is the creme de la creme.


(Except, I have a suspicion that that arrangement of sticks might be a chinese pictagram. Any translators out there?)

St Valentine's Day Bonus - Not Just The Welsh. Possibly NSFK

Bonus - Food On My Dog

Ogopogo?

Could it be?

Real photographic evidence of the existence of an fibreglass Ogopogo ?

Nah.   It's just a weather balloon.

Bonus - Possibly The Wisest Saying Ever.

Paddling One's Own Canoe

Perfect Mom n Daughter activity.

Sorry for lesser quality of the slide - but the slide must be close to 60 years old...

Bonus - 1986 Japanese TV ads  WTF?

Clara at the Crater

Oh Joy.

I love it when  a slide has a few notes, especially when the slide itself is so wunnerfull. It would have made next years calendar, except it few short in the "focus" category.

Clara at the Crater

Weighing Junior

Again, just to prove I don't always post odd, boring or freaky slides...

Bonus - Cat surprised by Hiccups.

Bonus - Science, Daily Mail Style. "Russian scientists drill into Antarctic lake buried under the ice for 20 million years, amid extraordinary claims the Nazis may have got there first"     Sheesh !

Home Made Fashion

In these times of austerity, it behoves us all to reign in the expenses, and try to economise.

For example, Madge here is sporting a dress that her mother made from a rather unpleasant duvet cover. Good Work that woman.   Make do and Mend.

Bonus - Now THAT's a mobility scooter.

Bonus 2 - The Great Larry Grisworld

Russian Tram

From the Russia Selection, from mid 1980s.

Bonus - Staplerfahrer Klaus - Der erste Arbeitstag [HD]  (Excellent German Health and Safety video)

Redhurst View, Wetton, Derbyshire

Bloomin' chilly this morning, but no snow. It inspired me to stay in as much as possible, and to post this gorgeous slide. Makes an excellent desktop image.


It's from a box of slides marked Wetton, Derbyshire (tho' to be honest, Wetton is actually in Staffordshire) and contains original photos, and some copies of ancient sepia tinted photographs. Some cracking ones in there.


Bonus - Six Nations Starts Today - a look back at great Calcutta Cup Matches.

Bonus 2 - Turkish Star Trek copy

Chuckles McGraw

Been a whiles since the last FLK (Funny Lookin' Kid) and today's a real doozy. I dare say that there are still bits of America where the kids still look like this,  (Happy, carefree and healthy.)

Bonus -

Steaming Cleft

Hawaii, I believe, so the fissure is likely to be volcanic.  Nice.

Bonus - Utterly Fantastic Series of News Paper Headlines...trust me.

A Smile to a Lumberjack's Face

It's tempting to launch into The Lumberjack Song, but I'll resist...but what a fine view. The mighty Scot's Pine, fluffy white clouds and bright sunshine.  It does a man's heart good to see that.

Bonus - O_o
