14th Photographic Competition Result

Good evening.

As Prince Charlie trudged back from Derby on his way to defeat at Culloden or as Napoleon scuttled back to France from the gates of Moscow and to his Waterloo, you can’t help wondering if their overwhelming thought might have been – Big Mistake!

If it was, I know how they feel. I was surprised to win #13 but I then made the effort to check previous topics to make sure that I was not re-iterating. This, for the record, is the result of my research for the next winner:- Continue reading “14th Photographic Competition Result”

Fashion and Personal Shoppers

I have been contemplating Wedding Outfits of the Mother of the Bride type for some months now. I have been searching the Internet on and off with an increasingly panicked hysterical awareness,  growing increasingly more profound,  that there is nothing for sale anywhere in the world that I would be seen dead in!

If you Google Wedding outfits on the Harrods website you may get some idea of my problem. I decided that even if I could afford to spend what seems an obscene amount of money on one outfit, I was unlikely to find anything I liked.

I’m on a roll.

After a long night of making love,
the guy notices a photo of another man, on the woman’s nightstand by the bed.


He begins to worry.
’Is this your husband?’ he nervously asks.


‘No, silly,’ she replies, snuggling up to him.


‘Your boyfriend, then?’ he continues.

‘No, not at all,’ she says, nibbling away at his ear.


‘Is it your dad or your brother?’ he inquires, hoping to be reassured.


‘No, no, no! You are so hot when you’re jealous!’ she answers.


‘Well, who in the hell is he, then?’  he demands.


She whispers in his ear
 ‘That’s me before the surgery.’

Diptych (missed the cut)

Taking photographs of the great outdoors is not one of my hobbies. Therefore, most of my snapping is done indoors. I know I’m a bit late to enter the 14th photographic competition as set by my castle-dwelling, tram-travelling cousin, though I found this old dusty shot in my archives (hark at me) that might have been suitable as an entrant. You can judge for yourself what this is meant to be.

The case against fishing

One of the things almost as bad as rugby is fishing. I have an in-law who fishes every weekend. He has invited me, on occasion, to take advantage of his spare rod and trek the ponds and waterways with him. Now I can see the attraction of sinking a good few beers while you’re waiting for your line to be pulled, it’s just that those good few beers could be supped doing better things.
