12月31日 New years eve, woohooo! At work, DOH! Wiv pritty ladies, woohoo!
Well it all started several hours before dawn but never mind, here is dawn for those of you who were not up at this hour!
I decided everything should be in bold tonite! Here are a few snaps from earlier in the day, with OF COURSE titles to boot!
Well a nice smile at this time in the mornin is about as good as it gets! Kate and Sandy raring to go! (ermmmmm, well they got here anyway.) Oh and by the way, that leaflet is not embedded in Sandy's head at all. That wasn't until much later. Don't you think Katie is a living Betty Boop?
In less than an hour this will be organised into a clear smooth pick line! (for about 30 minutes, then it's all hands on deck again!)
Well I couldn't pass up a shot of this little truck could I? Bless. The next photo set must include MY great big thing!!!! Until then you will just have to control yourselves!! Happy New Year!! (etc etc) Yes yes yes, get on with it!Happy New Year to all you guys out there, including the bums and hoodlums I work with.
I know you been havin a look! Karlos, nice little email, I will try it on here but they may not like it. Hehehehe. snowballs indeed!! 12月30日 I scored!<table width="325" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" > This was a quiz where they played a couple of seconds (NO MORE!) of sound from sci fi mocies then you had to ID which it was. I scored 71! and the above should have been my surfit tickit to say I wuz a clever bugger. I am leavin it here as an example to us all. Of what I have no idea, but let it be a lesson! hehehehe See? Come visit me an get some free knowledge too!!
Well if you didn't know before you do now cos I bin home working on this! Little Feat were formed in 1970 (a very good year) at this time the founders were already veterans of the Frank Zappa band, the Mothers Of Invention. (That was news to me) Albums released sold more in Europe than in the states where they didn't get much radio play because the music didn't fit into a clear "Slot" , but they were a good album and concert band. Lowell George was one of the founders and his vocal talents and guitar style with the "dirty" bass playing from Roy Estrada soon established this band as something special. I have been listening to some of their tracks and figure the most well known is probably "Dixie Chicken"? Still selling albums today, Georges untimely death from a heart attack around 1979 didn't stop it either. They reformed in 1988 and were still selling tickets to fans (if you liked the Grateful Dead, you liked Feat. Also The Band) So check out a few tracks from you favourite source. My favourites? Roll um easy Rock n roll doctor Willin Dixie Chicken. So check em out, a piece of Rock history you never heard of! Check this out too, 2 versions of Willin here, just a click away, I love em both. http://www.univie.ac.at/Anglistik/easyrider/data/FeatWilling.htm big thanks to these guys above, great site. If you look at the lyrics, Tucson to Tucumcari, Tehachapi to Tonapah, I have listened to so many versions of this song for nearly 30 years and it's only today that I know what those words are, no wonder!!!! Willin' I been warped by the rain, driven by the snow 12月28日 Little Feat?
Please tell me the above means something to someone out there! Years ago I was passing a pub (not often done, passing that is! LOL) on a saturday morning in the summer. When I heard a band starting up , no, it wasn't Lowell George and the boys. They did however make a nice coordinated noise so I stopped and listened, standing in the open doorway. You may appreciate my incredulity when the singer announced that they were going to play a Little Feat song called 'Willing' , this has been a favourite of mine for decades along with 'Dixie Chicken' and so on. They played a very good rendition which I sang along with all the way through and joined in the applause enthusiastically when they had done. You can imagine how dumb I felt when the singer said ' at least I know one guy knows that song, he was singin it with me all the way through!' while pointing at me! Everyone in place turned to look at me, so I gave a bow and left! hehehe the following lyrics are from memory so forgive me if I'm wrong. You will have to put in your own fabulous slide guitar cos I don't have this song in digital format. Jeez what an omission! Driven every kind of rig that's ever been made Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed And if you give me............... Weed, whites and wine, and you show me a sign Then I'm willin, to be moving Do you know just thinking through that song and I'm filling up even now, damn I wish life was that simple now, but it aint is it? This is right up there with The Band . It's like a piece of my life becomes real again, remembering pleasures long forgotten. 12月24日 Xmas 2007
Well folks, I guess we are at the time for reflection again, even though yesterday is history and the future never comes (I shall pass, on the obvious wisecrack at this point) I have been doing this for over 2 years now, it has changed in itself (Thank you Windows Live Writer!) and we now regularly "converse" with folks who we have never met on the other side of the world! Even more amazing is the fact that I can now include photo's in my blog! I hope that you will all have a happy time and I for one am gonna get slaughtered. May your God go with you. (Forgive me Dave Allen, RIP a ciggie in one hand and a glass of scotch in the other. AMEN) 12月22日 Meet Stanley!
I thought some of you out there might appreciate a few Snappy Pooo's of local "heartthrob" Stanley. As a cool and debonair character, he will probably be found in the nearest Licensed Premises. He is obviously a "potential force" for great things. (Hollow legs in a bar!) Has awoken in some bizarre places and still maintains "It wasn't him!" I am sure the ladies especially (although all views will be aired) will appreciate this candid look at "Stanley, man about Bridgwater!"
He don't look real does he?
He isn't real, I created him from various spare parts lying about the place. He is realistic though isn't he? I could have sworn that he said something the other day, I found out later he had, he said "Mines a large one" Well I'm sure he did! I thought he looked like such a clean living lad too?
Here he is with his "great big thing!" (I can sense a dampening of groins) Seasons greetings and so on, I'm sure that you all know what I mean (which should be a first anyway) By the way, "Would you buy a used fork lift from this man?" If yes, drop me a line, we should talk. 12月20日 New Scorsese Movie..... of The Stones!http://weblogs.variety.com/thesetlist/2007/12/rolling-stones.html Ok, if you not fond of the Stones, don't bother looking. If you are I reckon it looks great!! They don't need a send up from me. I will be watchin it! Pip Pip old things, me din dins is waitin! 12月17日 I love a good Cafe, and this is a good one!
There is nothing quite like a good Cafe' especially one which is local! I checked this out after it was mentioned to me as something a bit special. It certainly was too. It is in the middle of a local park and opens early to close late!
Inside is all warm and toasty, the menu includes Steak dinners and all sorts, not just "Bacon Sarnies" I love it. I went there this morning as I was out early for some pix but the sun didn't actually rise today, so I treated myself to a bacon and egg sandwich and a cup of tea! It was smashin too.
So there you have it, What I reckon is the best local Cafe' in the area Yaaay! Did I mention the squirrels? Regular readers will know my natural affinity with photographing wildlife (not) I don't know why but they just leg it when I get my camera out! But I did get a few shots of these guys in the park so I got them here too! Tree ratz, I love em.
So this guy is going to jump to the next tree, great shot I think, weeeel?
12月13日 Jacek Yerka, have you heard of him? You have now!
Here I am fresh from gawking open mouthed at the works of Jacek Yerka. You MUST have a look at some of his work! http://freshpics.blogspot.com/2006/09/fantastic-art-of-jacek-yerka.html I put the one link in above, but Google his name and follow a few links through, fantastic imagination and talent! Laydeez and Gentlemeen, Hai thenkyo! bbbbbbrrrrrrrBOOM, tish!
12月12日 A few shots out in the sticks!
I have been out in the backroads again, this time about 40 miles south of home. Big thanks to Dman AGAIN for lending me his camera AGAIN, I took 140 shots today from sunrise to mid day! so I have included a few here for your viewing buds to savour! Hehehe
07:50, Worth getting up for huh?
07:53, 3 minutes later!
07:56, another 3 minutes gone, fantastic!
I had to chase this bugger but I got several in the end! YAY!!!! (200mm lens at full stretch)
We've had a bit of precipitation lately!
I frigged with this one, shhhhhhh, don't tell!
Home town in the morning sun. I will post some more later but this gives a feel of where I have lived for the last 25 years! We only moved here for the house that came with the job! Sorry if I am becoming a photo bore, but it is a bug that has bitten my ass so there ya do go! 12月10日 Thank you Sambo, you've done it again.
12月7日 Clair Bear has done it again!
Well the current video will be showing for a short while! I will see what goes up after that, but for now I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. Big Fankoo to Clair for sending it to me. Mwwaaaaah! I am sorry for the German voice, it is a bit odd but you don't have to wait long to see what it's all about. Roughly speaking the guy (in a strident german voice) is telling his wife to stop filming the fecking flowers and to focus on him and his new "device" the rest is self evident but what a greazt clip! Fantastic!!
Now what else while I'm here? Ah yes, thank you to all for letting me know that you do read the titles and comments on my pictures, bless. XXX . That's kisses for the ladies and manly handshakes an stuff for the blokes. (I don't seem to have many blokes visit do I? Still I can't complain at that!! Ha!)
I am getting some more Photographic bits and pieces coming my way, large prints (A4 size) a couple of folks interested in pictures of their kids on canvas, 19" x 30" and a DVD with lots of great black and white wedding pictures and swirly effects to link them all up, as a surprise for a 40th Anniversary! When I finally get my bloody DSLR camera, I can get on with taking pix of peoples cars and "putting" them in moody settings, then get them printed in poster size for folks bedroom walls!! I will find a way to make some money that doesn't involve spending 9 hours a day in 3.5 degrees! Ah well time will tell. Ta ta for now.
These ladies gave me their full attention while posing provocatively on the old gate! (I had a great joke about a small bear but perhaps this is not actually the best place for it as it would doubtlessly offend soooo many people, so I shall keep it to myself. hehehhhe.) 12月4日 Re Mish mash Photo's above.Does anyone read the titles or comments on my photo albums? Cos I was quite pleased with this last lot especially. I thought the cyclists would have got a toot from one of the girls at least? (Note to self) "Don't waste your time on picture titles no- one reads!"
Maybe if I put em in the blog instead of in the photo's? I s'pect so, don't go on luvvy, just do it ok? "OK" Pffft! 12月2日 Lucy E Lastic ,with Sam and bike together.
I GOT A SUNDAY OFF WORK!!!! Sorry about shouting there, it's so rare. Wot a bugger it's been peeing down with rain and blowin a hoooooley! Went out hoping for some moody bad weather shots but it's just grey on grey. Still I did get to see my "little boy" Sam so he could hold onto his Moto for ya!
All of the new cooling system is now plumbed in and working, no leaks!
When I got back home, Lucy was just getting ready to go out so I asked her to sit for me to take a picture of her in her Wax Jacket! It's a small doggy "Barbour" so when she comes home covered in mud after a damned good frolic with all her mates. Off comes the Jacket "Et voila!" Clean dog with dirty legs! Much simpler to clean.
All was perfect until the second that the photo was taken, then she looked the other way! Anyway, she's off out with "she who must be obeyed," so she always has a good time, even though it is now gone very dark, the wind is whistling about and it's started hailing! Oh dear, that's not so good then.
Last but not least, Did you see the little "I luv U" in the middle of the pic? Aaaaaaahhhh. hehehe |
