We cooperated fully.....

....and we didn't need to be told twice, it wasn't stripping off weather today! Just back from a blow-out Sunday lunch at the local pub with Sarah, Hails and Daizy....it was disgustingly good and the portions were huge. I'm off to find a baggier pair of jeans and then a little zizz on the couch seems in order..........

It's the weekend!

....you read that right, I've got the day off tomorrow! But yes, it's coat-wearing weather, can't win 'em all I suppose.....

Found this today while looking for something completely different.....it raised a smile!



Seeing as I'm now officially in 'not-at-work' mode maybe a game later might be in order....

They say "It is difficult to describe the gameplay of The Glean of Glob. This is a surrealist dream, or perhaps a nightmare. There are no instructions, the player must figure out what to do while interacting with the characters on the screen. Everything can be accomplished by a click of the mouse, but after that, well, perhaps you'd better see for yourself. If you are looking for a linear experience, starting at A and progressing neatly to Z, this is not the place for you. But if you are up to the challenge, and would like to experience thought-provoking artwork, then dive into the world of The Glean of Glob"

Strangely entertaining

I was never a huge Michael Jackson fan......so why do I like this?

Click here if you dare....you'll end up watching rather more than you thought you would!

Sooty and Sweep.....and Ronnie

Funny day, Sunday....now why did I suddenly start thinking about Sooty and Sweep? (on second thoughts, probably best not to dwell on that!) My personal favourite was Sweep....we had both hand puppets as kids but Sweep had the added bonus of a 'squeeker' (your thumb and little finger did the arms, leaving three free to make noises, great fun!) Anyway, found this on YouTube....confession, watched it more than once, but just don't tell, OK!

A message for the 7 stone weakling

I was searching for vintage advertising images to use on a poster today when I came across this gem at Google Books (part of their Popular Mechanics archive).... though to be honest I was spoilt for choice, Mr Liederman seems to have invested in multiple full page spreads in every issue during the 20's at least.....it was a close call between this one or one of him sporting a leopard skin off'the-shoulder leotard and strange sandals. Click on the image to read his fantastic over-the-top sales pitch.

A musical argument

"No cue cards, no teleprompters, and no second takes--legendary funnyman Sid Caesar pioneered live television sketch comedy with his 1950s sitcoms Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour. This classic sketch is "Argument to Beethoven's 5th," Sid Caesar and Nanette Fabray play a married couple in a argument with pantomimed action and the dialogue is classic music."
