The Decapitator of Dudley

 

I know that today is Tedious Tuesday, and this slide isn't actually tedious or boring, but ... its ineptness is worthy of highlighting.

What would be a nice little image is spoiled by the photographer's inability to actually point the camera high enough to capture the (presumably) happy faces.

Bonus - I'm back, and posting Stuff. Isn't that enough?

Bonus 2 - Kansas's highest point is just a lump in a farmer's field.

Ken and his Ladies

 

Ken Worthing had a bit of a reputation as "A Ladies' Man", and this slide helps prove the legend.

Not only Foxy Fiona and Luscious Louise, but the photo was taken by Busty Babs. No wonder Ken was banned from every Woolworths' store in Cornwall.

Bonus - 

Kids....Yeuch

 What's the attraction of kids?

They smell weird, fall over, are hungry all the time, and do stupid things.

Nope.   You can have them.

Bonus - 

Enjoying The Sun

 

Maisie and Edna, proving that Halifax is not just Dark Satanic Mills.

Bonus - Cycling on ice ... with two saws.

A Vision in Brown

 

A mother in brown fashion.

A baby in brown.

Furniture? Brown.

Gosh, the seventies were shitty.

Bonus - 

Half A Baby's Face

 

Better than none, I suppose.

Another poorly-frames shot.  I'm so glad that the photographer kept it...

Bonus - 

An oldie, but a goodie

When you dance with a vampire...

 ...you need to stay alert. Especially during the slow dances.

Just maintain that rictus grim and hope that daylight arrives soon.

Bonus - Why Did Monster Trucks Stop Crushing Cars???

"Granny Melvin" and Scruffy

 

STILL on Interpol's "Twenty Most Wanted", for crimes too bizarre to publicise. This is the last known picture of Granny Melvin, and her partner-in-crime "Scruffy".

No not approach...do not accept a Werther's Original from this dangerous duo.

Bonus - Fascinating stuff : 

Vaguely Related to Pancake Tuesday

 Ummm.

Maybe they're watching the Mardi Gras parages in ... Redditch.

Bonus - 

The Okra Smugglers

Charlie "Giggles" McGraw.

 Yup.  I am not in the mood for explanations or background stories.

Bonus - The Nazis Planned to Bomb Britain With Forged Bank Notes

Bonus 2 - Fancy a challenge?

Look. David's On The Telly

 

Tho' to be honest, it's a small tourist repro of Michelangelo's statue of David in Accademia di Belle Arti Firenze. (Florence).

Actually on the TV screen is what seems like an advert for a MIL Marquis Farm Tractor Front Loader.  My all-time third favourite tractor front-loader attachment.

Bonus - 

Posing By The Creek

 

Joyce and Gavin, having some fun beside the creek / stream / river / whatever.

And Gavin demonstrating that you're never too old for a boob-grab.

Bonus - 

Music - Meh.
Images - Yeah.
Buckethead - Spokes for the Wheel of Torment

Portrait of Vinyl Sofa and Cushion

 

Judging by the relative proportions, the Sofa and Cushion are of greater importance than Granny and Norbert.

Strange World.

Bonus - 

Top Names

Woo-woo on the Choo-choo

 

Yes, just a nice little picture of an adventure for the younglings.

Bonus - Happy Birthday Cliff, my Brother-in-law.  Same birthday as Roger Moore, Steve Cram and Ben ("Q") Wishaw. (Good Company.)

Bonus 2 - The phrase "Wetter than an otter's pocket".  Today I learned that otters do have pockets.

Trowelsworth Tor

 

The slide is helpfully marked with "1980-06-Plymouth Reg Guides above Trowelsworthy Warren" which tells you almost everything you want to know.

Oh, that that big block is an unfinished plinth for a flagpole at Devonport Dockyard.  Great Trowlesworthy Tor.

Bonus - PEA SOUP AND PANCAKES – SWEDEN’S THURSDAY FAVOURITE

Bonus 2.  People. Some people just deserve to be sodomised by a herd of horny adolescent rhinos.

What in the Flub...?

 

Regular readers (both of them) will be aware that I often become obsessed with details in the background...and today is no different.

There's a band or musical group in the background, and the squeeze-box is easy to spot.

But what are the other two guys playing? It looks like some sort of snorkel-kazzoo, or maybe some sort of jew's harp?

Can anyone help?

Bonus - 

Thermos Flask or Camping Stove ???

 

It could be any small carpark in England (in 1978), and these folks are enjoying a refreshing cup of tea.

Tea?  Of course. It has to be tea. Don't let those coffee mugs confuse you, these folks are definitely tea-drinkers.

But the big question is, did they bring their tea in a Thermos flask, or did they fire up the Camping Gas stove for the best possible fresh brew?

Enquiring minds need to know.

Bonus - The Atlas Of Taste.

Bonus 2 - Want Want Want

The Wee Tyke

 

Let's face facts.

Babies are weird things, and parents give them odd things to stick in their mouths, for "teething" purposes.

Bonus - More Wise Words.
