I honestly thought it was David Tennant, sporting his David Ten-inch

That’s really lovely! Are you still friends or in contact with them today?

I was taken under the wing of a motherly school friend after I was ostracized and bullied by previous ‘friend’ group…I got my diagnosis 30+ years later

Impressive aren’t they? I assume he has millions of glossy magazines available for when he gets creative

I’m getting big foreshadowing vibes that one of The Boys is going to die this season, and I think it would be too obvious to be Butcher (I think he’ll probably end up killing Homelander along with himself in the next and final season) …but I could be completely wrong!

Either way I like it when The Boys have their backs against the wall, with all their previous misdeeds biting them on their arses and no obvious solution in sight (although it is truly depressing seeing the parallels with the way Voight and the supes manipulate and twist everything in the media, and our present situation/s)

Both me and the bf gave an audible WTF at the splinter centipede scene…

It doesn’t matter what weird shit has happened previously, The Boys always ups the ante with the bizarre sex and creative violence every time

I went in blind…

Us too, we had no idea, just that it seemed highly recommended

Each episode had us going WTF and trying to work out the ‘puzzle’ of it all…don’t even get me started on the utterly bizarre waffle party

Looking forward to this!

Me and the bf really enjoyed the WTF puzzling of the first season and the beautiful aesthetic, I just hope they continue the quality and don’t shit the bed…

Totally agree…

I’ve been using mint for the last 4 years, and while I have had to use the command line for some obscure installs, it also works as an OS without needing to use it (i jumped in at the deep end and installed it in a pc I got from my brother and used it as my everyday OS)

I don’t understand why Mint isn’t the first suggestion for Linux ‘virgins’ switching over from Windows etc, it has everything you need pre installed plus the download manager for anything else

Linux has a flavour for everyone, and after a while when you’re confidence and skills grow there is the fun of using the command line and a bit of tinkering…or not, if you are happy with the ‘basics’

We used to have a video club at Primary School (5-12 years) where you’d pay something like 10p to watch a film after school on a crappy TV. One such film was Beastmaster, we also watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, and inexplicably Assault on Precinct 13 (one of the older kids brought it in and told us younger ones not to say anything to the teachers)

Needless to say, I loved Beastmaster and Raiders, and didn’t have a clue what was happening in Precinct 13 apart from the swearing and violence…Fun times

a certain ‘labor of love’ needs to be involved

You are not wrong! I think I must be mental sometimes, but it can be good fun discovering new things and then sharing them…

I really like her work, I posted last week some of her cityscapes of Manchester, which is interesting to see the ordinary and mundane of somewhere you know immortalized in art. I’ve got some others of hers which I’ll probably share next week

Also thanks for the tip regarding the code to expand images, it would be nice if the developers added a nice easy button to click to do it for me, but it’s something I can remember to do, like all the other minor things that help when making a post (it’s a learning process)

Cheers! 😀

edit, I’ve just tried it out on one of my posts on mander, it works really well!

I’m glad there are artists capturing the normal sights of places instead of focusing on the most impressive and amazing parts of the world, you know?

I agree, it’s always nice to see your local places immortalized in art, I think it helps that she’s from Bolton, although I haven’t seen any paintings of that downtrodden place yet…

All that’s missing from the paintings is a couple of spice-heads, and the guy who’s always playing the ‘Harry Potter Theme’ on a recorder near Selfridges

Love back at you, from up the road 🐝 ❤️

She’s won a few awards for her work which doesn’t surprise me!

I’ll be posting some of her other work at some point which is just as good, if not better…even though I do love the fact that she makes Blackpool look pretty fucking amazing 🤣

Pop on over we’ve got giant millipedes and a freaky grim creeper caterpillar!

Cheers!

I quite often do this for art books, I find it easier on my eyes reading text on the pirate ebook version (I can make the font as big as I need), but use the hardcopy for eyeing up the pictures

Seconding the massage gun, I had terrible muscle pain around my knee for over a year and after using one it went. I nearly fell off the bed as there wasn’t any pain. I’m now trying to loosen up the ligament/tendon around the knee and in my hip as it’s still tight…It’s really nice to be able to go on a long walk and not be in pain or having to use sticks when going downhill

I know I may sound like an Amazon review, but the difference is amazing, and also reassuring as I thought I would be heading over hill into pain and general decrepitude…I’m also using it to loosen up the bf’s knotty shoulders and bad back

I’ve just finished season 1 of rewatching DS9 (again) and Vedic Winn has just made her debut…she’s such a deeply horrible piece of work, and Louise Fletcher is perfect in bringing her to life

I’m going to enjoy seeing all the nefarious politicking along with Garak and Quark, Gul Dukat, and Jeffrey Coombs staring as Inertial Dampers…

November (and December) are going to be good!

I like how it’s reflecting the clouds, crane and orange ‘panels’

I feel your pain lol, I go out and take loads of photos, then have to wade through them to find maybe one half decent one…it’s a journey though, and a bit of fun!

Thanks for the info!

The other photos you’ve posted are also really good, especially the boat, the colour really pops and I love the water…I’m looking forward to seeing more of your back catalogue 👍
