Waiting for the Eclipse

 

The big news (comparatively) here in the UK today is the arrival of a Partial Solar Eclipse.

I'm expecting that around 90% totality here at Slide Central.  Iceland and Spain get 100% coverage...another Brexit Bonus (haar haar.)

So, her is Marjorie, ready with her Box Brownie camera, ready to capture the spectacle.

Alas, this slide is from 1953, so she's going to have a long wit.

Bonus - More

Bonus 2 - Eclipse

Happy Birthday, Sis

 

Yes, Today is my Big Sister's birthday. Happy Birthday Sis.

No, that's NOT her in the pic, that's just some random American, from September 1953.

Bonus - Your eyeballs have their own immune system separate from your bodies. If your bodies immune system ever discovers your eyeballs, it will destroy them.

See My Beautiful Baby

 

Proud Momma with typical Churchillian crotch-fruit.

Nowt to add to that...

Bonus - 

Wise Words

Helen, The Flasher

 The only info on this slide was "Helen 1-11-53", but I have it on good authority (my imagination) that Helen is sexually promiscuous, and is shown here ready to go out for a night of flashing at passing cars.

Yes, naked under her warm woolen coat, she will stop on a pedestrian crossing, turn to the waiting vehicle, open her coat and display her saggy milkers to the astonished driver.

Maybe.

Bonus - Smooth Moves

Bonus 2

If today is your birthday "Florida man tries to trade in
vehicle he stole from same dealership, police say"

"Reggie? What are you doing there?"

 

A couple of weeks ago, Reg my cat disappeared for 24 hours. Then, he just appeared sleeping on my bed....but reeking of perfume. Odd, as he doesn't wear perfume.  No clue where he was...I got the silent treatment.

Then, "coincidentally" I scanned this slide from the "To Do" pile, and ... Reggie ?   Is that you?

Has my cat mastered Time Travel?

Bonus - Pinched from B3TA.com, and so, SO wrong.

Hank's Birthday

 

Hank always felt aggrieved that his birthday was in the Christmas Week. Something about going 51 weeks without presents annoyed him.

But he's not alone. Other's have experienced that, and moved on.

Like...Jesus.

Bonus - 

At The Bridal Veil Falls

Curious.  People seemed to dress up smartly when visiting major tourist sites.

If you don't recognise the location...the bridge in the background is the biggest clue.

As it is now.

Bonus - Every Person in Britain Mapped

Bonus 2 -

Miss 3737

FINALLY, we get to image number 3737.

And for the mystical numbered slide, we have a... well, my first thought that this is a character sketch for the SchoolMarm at Royston Vaset Primary School.

However, it she appears to be a real live person, from Porter's Grange School.

A scary one.  Slide is marked
Jul 1972 Porter's Grange.

Bonus : Portuguese Navy deploy Reconnaissance Drone. Briefly.

Bonus 2 - HydroDipping

Helen (Naked Under That Coat)

Hallelujah! A slide with some info.

OK, it's only

"Helen 1-11-53", 

but that's better than nowt.


Bonus - Farmers urged to bury their underpants to improve quality of their beef

Bonus 2 - I wonder if they're real?

Present Time

I know it's not Christmas yet, but I've started thinking about presents.

Only one idea, and it'll suita  few friends, but can't reveal anything yet.

Bonus - When Hurricane Irma brings gifts
Bonus 2 - Hurricane Irma is over Florida, as you can tell from the airspace hole.

Naked!!! (Under her coat.)

How can I tell ?

I know.  I just know.

( Slide marked as "Helen - 1-11-53")

Bonus - My new-found respect for Slipknot.

Bonus 2 - Genius

David Lee MacLeary, cap uniform, Alaska 1953

Well, that's who the slide says it is, so who am I to disagree.

The snowy scene seems appropriate when the US is suffering from extreme weather.
