Messing About In The Pool

 

Summertime, and not everyone has a Country Club to go off and cool down at.

So, backyard solution are an ideal alternative.

Bonus - 

Wesley Shows Off

 

Mid way though a Double-Twisting, Triple-Flip, Rolling-Salco.

A high degree of complexity, and marred by Wes's mistake of not checking the water depth. 

Ouch.

Bonus - The Joy Of Cat Ownership.

Garden Fun Time

 

Late Afternoon in the Backyard Pool

 

Two sisters have a great time with tins and pans in the pool. Just ready for for Mom  to shout "Wash your hands, it's supper-time."

Or so I imagine.

Bonus - Piasecki PA-97.   Blimp + 4 obsolete helicopters + redneck engineering. What could possible go wrong... oh. That !

A Nuclear Neon America

 

You've probably figured out that this slide has deteriorated with the passage of time, and that the colours have become distorted.

OK, I could have corrected them, or tried to, but I actually prefer the glorious hyper-real effect that it has just now.

Hope you like it too,

Bonus - R.I.P. Vangelis.  Blade Runner Main Theme

The Reflecting Pool

 

Something has gone slightly wrong with this slide - Slightly over-exposed at original creation, the colours have gone a little strange over the years.

Ah, the impermanence of  Ektachrome E6 slides.

Bonus - The Long History of the Electric Car

Bonus 2 - Missing man found dead inside Spanish dinosaur statue

Let The Easter Break Begin

 

I was going to write something witty and apposite (or try to), but frankly, it's now Easter and I have a few days off work, and frankly...alcohol calls.

Cheers.

Bonus - Yes, April Fools Day, and I'm not trying to trick anyone. So bite me.

Bonus 2 - 

Chillin' In The Pool

I wish... (again)

Bonus - Because the POTUS is lounging in my hime country, boasting that the Scots like him....let's remember what they really think of him.  Origin

"No Heavy Petting"

"Hello Ladies"

Yes, it's a bit dirty (in the dust and scratches sense) but what a marvelous slide.  And for a change, some context.

1954 Calif Hot Springs

So, that's nice. Two hot babes from 64 years ago. Alas, California has many hot springs, so I can't be sure, but this could be Calistoga Spa Hot Springs 

Bonus -

Fun in The Sun

After a week of rain and misery, it's a delight to get out into the sunshine. And life's better if you have a backyard pool.

Bonus - A Ronseal Website -  Stool Analyser
Bonus 2 - How They Got Their Guns

California Hot Springs

Alas, this slide suffers from dirt and lack of focus, otherwise it would be bitchin' !

Bonus -

Pool Party - Junior Version

Of course, the Albany WASP Country Club is not just for adults.

Here we have the young teenagers of the clique, enjoying some poorly supervised pool time.

Bonus - Our Crime-ridden world.

Another view of the Pool Party

Another view of the loungers from yesterday,

Further extensive research has uncovered precisely no more information on the revelers, so I can say with utmost confidence that that's Madeleine Thomson in the red swimsuit.

And for those of you want a closer look...

Bonus - 250 Horror Movie Moments

Summer Day at the Country Club

A slide which reeks of awsomeness - specifically a real life Betty Draper lazing around the pool with some other moms.

Potential Trigger-word removed after Google complaint.

Bonus - Tho fun may be had in winter with a pool... (CFB)

Sorry. Link-rot.  Image Gone.

Pool Scene (with a girl in a bikini.)

Pool - Check
Woman in the water - Check
Girl in a bikini - Check.
Sexy photo - Fail.

Oh well, it might bring in some Google traffic.

Bonus - Nigel Farage has written a book, The Amazon reviews are fascinating.

At The Paddling Pool

As summer draws to a close (the autumnal equinox is less than a week away !), let's revisit the summers of our past.

1962, and Isle Of Wight, Ventnor to be honest, (Someone included info on the slide, Hallelujah.).


Bonus

Easter Around The Pool

It's been a while since I last posted a slide from the "School Trip At Easter" sets, so today ... let's do it !

From 1971's cultural trip to Majorca.

Bonus - Non-Award Winning School Science Fair Projects

Bikini babes splashing around in the pool

Yes, it's a stonking hot day in Casa del SlideGuy, and I'll be breaking out the paddling pool in an effort to stay cool. (Physically, obviously. Everyone knows I'm Hip to The Beat !)

Bonus - Llor Kcir.   Rickrolling makes more sense backwards. (NSFK)

Mr Apollo

Are you tired of me kicking sand in your face?

You need the body building course devised by Mr Apollo. I was once a 6-stone apology...now, I am two separate gorillas. Think of the advantages :

• Lift objects
• No unpleasant bending
• Wrestle Poodles...and win !
• Splash water at people (see illustration.)

Send money now.

Bonus - 

Reflections on Mortality

...or some other arty-farty title. 

Actually, I'm being unfair, this ain't too bad a shot. It deserves far better than demotion to Tedious Tuesday.

Bonus 1 : Masterclass in building demolition.  Wow !

Bonus 2 : Shagged by a rare parrot.  Ronseal
