Sure looks like it's the secret base for International Rescue.

Grandma Jones

Bonus - the Klein Bottle is what happens when you merge two Moebius Strips together

Today, the Pasadena Saint Chrysogonus Day Parade.

Bonus - Teamwork

The Kennedy Street Irregulars

Sworn to defend Kennedy Street from Girls, Communists and those ruffians from Lincoln Street.

Bonus -

Ted and Wilma

The Local Market

Ah. The beautiful colours of Kodachrome.

More intriguing is "Where"

The rest of the set were stereotypically American, but this car park has British Cars and a statue that looks rather British King -ish....  Bermuda?   But those hills in the background.

My Guess is Cape Town.

Bonus - Strange Vehicles

Dave's Syndrome

Just like this man, I believe that's for the past few day's I've been suffering from "Dave's Syndrome" .

To nurse me back to health, please send towels.  And cheese.

Bonus -

Fish Pond and Mr Snuffles

Mr Snuffles is a sly old cat.

"Protecting" the fish pond, and awaiting an opportunistic passing heron.


Bonus - That's It.  When I die, I'm having the service in Taiwan.

The Bride of Finkelstein

The soon-to-be Mrs Moshe Finkelstein enjoys a laugh as she watched a neighbour's child falling over and dislocating an elbow.


Bonus The interesting origins of Fanta, and this

It's A Trap

I now have a rather worrying physical symptom ... so not remotely well.

Prom Night

Sorry. Still suffering from Lurghi.


Bonus - Miss Universe Pageant Contestants Parade Costumes for Their Country
Miss USA...

Skull

Sorry.   Not feeling very chipper today.

What's This Focus Setting For ??

Yes, what could have been.   Had the photographer taken a second or two to focus the lens, I could have ended up with a previously unknown cheesecake shot of a young Marilyn Monroe.

Instead... well... I'm reduced to collecting lobsters for a cheesecake manufacturer.  It's a job, I suppose.

Bonus - A Conspiracy of Hogs: The McRib as Arbitrage

Oh Look What Granny's Knitted !

A pair of sombre acrylic skirts.

Very stylish.  Don't forget to thank granny...

Bonus -
You've probably seen this... (CFB)

Well, this is how they did it.

The Show Must Go On !

As you see, nothing, but NOTHING stops the Salzburg Sewage Department Orchestra from their rendition of The Blue Danube Waltz.  Now power failure, not audience indifference, not even First Oboeist Franz Hutter's twisted ankle.  Nothing.

Bonus - I'll just leave this here...

H.O.W.L.

Albert is the Chairman of HOWL.

Harrogate Obvious Wigs Lovers.

Bonus -

Dog Poop ... and some Pepsi-Cola

Ethel and Hilda, and their lovely lap-dogs Dante and Snuffles.

After their day at the park, they have their leftovers - two bags of dog crap and a empty four pack of Pepsi.

The car number plate says (I think) Barnsdall, Oklahoma... which seems rather odd. Either this is the only car in Barnsdall, or this is a promotional photo. Hmmm.

Bonus - Disney Princesses with Beards.  Just Because.

Bonus 2 - Police called to Swedish family's Ikea nightmare

Watermelon Rationing

Adults get the first choice. Obviously.

Actually, you may recall that the kids do gets their fair share...

Trying to look as tho' butter wouldn't melt in his mouth... but I think we both know how naughty this lad is...

An easy mistake to make, but these tourists aren't in Kansas any more.

Bonus - How many spins ?

Ride The 1066 Electrics

One for all you train buffs out there.   A pair of wonderfully mis-matched colour schemes.

It appears that S61355 was one of the 1066 Electrics, which frequented the Hastings area. Of so the websites suggest.

Bonus

Swans In Milk

From the title, you may be expecting the latest Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall foraging recipe, but you'd be wrong.

The picture is apparently a flock of swans, swimming in a vast milk lake.   Not even the presence of a lady in a blue sukumizu can lift this slide out of the "Tedious Tuesday" classification.

Bonus - Top Biker Costume :-)

Fred West in St Ives

Yes, it's the return of "that bloke who looks a little like a young Fred West."

And obviously you'll recognise that Barnoon End places this holiday snap in St Ives in Cornwall.

Fallen Leaves

Bonus 2 :

So, 44 Year On, welcome to the Sale of Work.

Bonus - Architecture For Dogs !    (Japan Natch.)

Here we have the ruins of the Franciscan Abbey at Dinnet, Aberdeen shire.  It was ruined by the great storm of 1621, which also resulted in the diversion of the River MacCuddy.
