He's fallen in der water.......

Drawing rooms of the rich, royal and famous. Not a set square or parallel motion set up in sight though. https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/11/30/the-drawing-rooms-of-old-london/

No idea, I assume it's down to whatever aggregate they are using. You can see quartzy type bits in granite kerbs when they are rough surfaced rather than sliced/polished and they do glitter in sunlight. Asphalt roads are just black sticky stuff holding stones together so probably the same reason. Now if you'd asked me about road markings I could have used one of my favourite words, which is 'Ballotini'. Little glass balls mixed in with the road marking thermoplastic that catch headlight beams at night and reflect it back. When anyone is lining there is always a solidified ooze hanging off the back of the lorry by the boiling pots. I like to snap a piece off to see the little beads.

My good pictures very rarely have a motorbike in them so I don't usually bother. Is there a short period where a bike picture can't go in the month either sides competition (like between 27th Nov and 1st December), or does the eligible time start in the last few days of the preceding month?

Beautiful pictures. Do they now fall into Decembers BOTM even though we are still in November?

It's the last ever Imperial Elephants MCC Christmas party on Saturday. End of an era, I've been going since about 1990 and it was going for quite a while before that. I'm hoping the bald man with the head tattoo of a skeleton riding a motorbike is there. It looks like the word DAD from a distance and always makes me laugh.....just not to his face.

Oh dear, I think that my genetics are trying to escape out of my leotard leg hole.

Pedro, do you have a liceunce for that muenkey?

Can't quite see the cock pit from that angle.

Balloon knot, tea towel holder.

Agreed

A bit of wee came out because I laughed so much at this picture.

I preferred this one.

She was briefly in the monkey/zoo video on here.

Aha, I deduce that you have recently shopped at a second hand apple stall, Or you're preparing for the famous, 'What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?' joke

Not quite the end of the world.....but you can see it from there.

I was meant to be watching Rod Stewart last night but the tickets never happened so I did a pub quiz instead and this morning I had a day off so went to look at a fort at the end of the world.

Kevin Webster the mechanicey bloke?

Watch out for the best before dates if it's that busy.

I know I'm a bit odd, but am I the only one who finishes the sentence every time you say that bloke's name? It usually involves a mangle.

You just need a nice sea shell to hold to your ear. That was how we did it in the 70s. That and high precision time keeping with dandelions.

Can't recall if I have put this here before, but heard it again the other day and I like it.

Happy Birthday Phil. If anyone offers you the bumps.....just say NO!

Have you seen the sea since then?
