Oh i thought so too at the time Fuji, -but no one else thought it was a QUALITY PIECE. HAVENT SEEN IT FOR YEARS dont remember even selling it—so its probably chucked in a corner somewhere .Quote:

MRS BROWNS BOYS ?? Thats how i have come to feel over the years !!!!!!!Attachment 497261
i stick to these sort of concepts nowadays—- its what i do best—-one offs . No two are ever the same — every five years the grandkids forage under the bench and take home what they want—that creates room for the next wave.
Attachment 497262 My son Mark spends a lot of time beating on propellers—so i put together this little concept—- have never seen it since !!!!!!
Attachment 497263
„“BIRTH OF A NATION“ was one of my favourites—and it made the grade - owned by a Dutch lady with very discerning taste !!!!!!
Attachment 497264
Another firm favourite of mine -HALF A CROWN —-or TWO AND SIXPENCE. !!!!!
MADE IT AS FAR AS UNDER THE BENCH—— along with a shed load of concepts .
Attachment 497265
CATHEDRAL AT BOUZIGUES was always one of my favourites —— but it didn’t stop it making it to UNDER THE BENCH!!!!Attachment 497266 ALONGSIDE THIS ONE
You may have gathered its feckin cold —snowy—damp and miserable out there —-7-00 am and i cant be arsed to shift myself out of bed — so im playing with the iPad .
If things keep getting this bad —i could get back to writing „“THE BOOK.“ I kinda fell out with doing it when i learned RON HILL—JIMBO and SEEBOLD were writing their versions of all things powerboating.
Do like i usually do—Play it by ear .

LEANING SHARD OF LONDON was another that bit the dust.

Done lots of way out stuff—-far too WAY OUT for most people —- without exception i charge minimum $900 for any SILVER GHOST ——- there’s five weeks work in each of those little suckers —- i do know of one guy who was offered double what he paid for it —turned it down— said he couldn’t replace it . One things for certain -there’s not going to be many more !!
Conflicting reports about the OMICRON strain of covid —— first we are told that its a killer with no antidote —-then its not too bad ——- then its no worse than the DELTA strain——- then you only get a mild headache … I am beginning to realise , politicians know feck all about Covid . After listening [and behaving correctly] for two years —- wearing masks—- having injections [all three] —- isolating myself and staying home —i think i have done my fair share of behaving correctly.
Thats it—im done —no more . Two years of doing what im told should be sufficient for any government —anywhere to have cured the problem. Except they haven’t. The whole shebang has been handled badly from the start . It has cost the world TRILLIONS, and for what ??? If they had sat back and done NOTHING —- not spent a penny. Would the mortality rate have been any more ???? I doubt it . Covid sought out the weak and feeble —- vulnerable people —-sick people . Yes it did affect others — seemingly fit and healthy — no i cant explain that . People who did not have the jab piss me off enormously—— and that includes some members of my own family who i thought i had taught wisely. But then again —i neither know, nor understand everything—— i just say i do .
As you may gather —- its another day in paradise — too late to go back to sleep —and too early to get out of bed . What better thing to do than bitch and moan for a while ???????
Happened again last night- afraid the world as i knew it has disappeared from under my feet when i wasn’t looking. Been a football fan all my life. All the commentators and pundits were men—- not any more ——commentators are now screaming Scottish women who just wet their knickers and scream. We used to have talented black actors on the screen——-Sydney Poutier ——- Sammy Davies —Denzil Washington——- wonderful singers and musicians —— they earned their place in history they were and are brilliant at what they do. Unlike the useless wannabes of today who want their place in the theatrical world —„“BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE WHITE ACTORS THAN BLACK. —- ???????? What sort of a bloody excuse is that—- first you have to learn HOW TO DO THE JOB —- practice and get good at it —- win a place instead of it being awarded on a percentage basis.
Every Christmas advert has a black Santa —— who’s bloody silly idea what that?????? Chris Kringle is white as driven snow because he‘s a Swede —end of. Manufacturers and retailers are crap scared of upsetting the coloured corps —-so they chuck dopey wannabe ACTORS?????? On the screen so as not to upset them ———-what—— if they cant act —find another actor — one that can. Bugger the colour
The one thing that really stands out for me is that I wore a mask everywhere I went indoors for the past year. It's also the FIRST year in my entire life when I have NOT had a cold or sore throat!! I will "mask up" every winter (October thru April) for the rest of my life Covid or not! Family, friends included.
Thats the beauty of living in a democracy—-freedom of choice . I don't. always agree with the choices some of my friends and relations make , but i will stand by their decisions. Wont stop me telling them that they are wrong. [when i think they are—or I'm feeling a tad cranky].Quote:

Sheffield is a steel town in Yorkshire — hard bitten breed of northerners reside there. Yesterday they united and told the town council no to change any of the street names due to fact they were related to slavery and the past. Plus —do not touch any of the statues that have stood for the past hundred years depicting history. There are thousands of ETHNIC MAJORITIES In Sheffield—-WITH A MODICUM OF COMMON SENSE .
Same cannot be said of the old English pub that was named —-THE BLACK BITCH some hundred years ago , In honour of a famous greyhound.—— it has just been renamed THE BLACK HOUND for fear of offence to some people ?????????? If the cap fits -wear it!!!!!!!
See you have the BLM screaming for a BLACK CHRISTMAS. For the seventh year in a row ——demanding an end to a WHITE CHRISTMAS ——- how in the hell is the going to happen. ???????
Ah well, suppose i had better rise and shine , its bloody Thursday once again —-treasures to be unearthed somewhere with a bit of luck!!!!!!
