I occasionally have a photo I want to share, which doesn't fit in an existing thread, and isn't a subject all of its own, but I haven't had anywhere to put them. So here's one, taken with my phone on a commuter train in londonton (it made me smile, at least):

I certainly thinks this qualifies for: Pics that make you smile started by my good self young fella-me-lad.
Hope that helps.

You are probably right. Thanks for the advice.
I may well find myself too lazy to get rid of this thread anyway ;D

Me too. "Can I be bothered? Really? Nahhh."
My pooter died at work yesterday, so have been bereft. Now have a nearly-new imac 24" screen one 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo ("bum, bum-bum-bum-bum-BUM"). So am back online! A lot of money poorer now, but what you gonna do!!?

This needs to be made into one of those slidey pics, where you can mismatch the head and body to odd legs and arms.

Not surprising it messes your head. Unless girl is suspended in mid-air, her shadow should be between her body and the water...

It is, just there above the feet of the microphone stand.
The big shadow in the foreground is obviously from an out-of-shot flagpole.

Must be a very long flagpole as shadows are extremely short here.

I think your head has been messed with Hellymedic.
The shadows are long not extremely short. The sun must be low down (guess: 60 degrees)
(http://www.thepoke.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/something-is-wrong/5.jpg)
There's a shadow of a flag and flag pole on the sand. The flag and pole are probably 20 feet behind the camera).
There's a woman speaking, stood on a wooden board on the sand, I'm guessing 12 feet further away than the flag shadow.
The shadow of the woman and microphone is also long but not obvious (except for a small bit of the mic you can just see).

Tomorrow, they have a large pane of glass to carry across a busy road, and an appointment with a long ladder and a bucket of whitewash.

The demise of CRTs has ruined the effect, somewhat.

Aye

But it's still possible to ruin £LOTS of televisual equipment with a stumble.

I reckon that bloke in the red LEL Volunteers t-shirt carrying Waitrose audax victuals is also heading for that bus which will pull out on that cyclist after the two tea leaves who have half-inched a tv from Currys(off camera) have legged it on board.

Thats not in Reading, is it? ;D
Reading was the venue for a gratuitous drive-by fish throwing attack on me, in about 1971 or thereabouts....
Quite why a bunch of people in an Austin 1100 thought it appropriate to slow down and lob a large fish at me in Kings road, remains a mystery!

Correct. The lampshade was only new in 1998.

Deliberately left the annoying cluttered right hand corner - to grate/annoy ;D

Elvis Costello was also there. Don't know if I got a photo though.

Ha, either the artist got the captions mixed up or needs a better photograph to work from - one of Buddy Holly, say!

Curious:

The legend on the manhole cover reads "Kanalisation Weissenburg" but the manhole is in the French town of Wissembourg. This means that the cover dates from the German occupation of Alsace between 1870 and 1918 - unless it dates from WW2, although it's highly unlikely that foundry capacity would have been given over to city furniture in time of war.

This needs a little explanation. It's a poster in Tel Aviv airport. The writing, in hebrew says "I'm also a Duty Freak", with "Duty Freak" transliterated into the hebrew. Only. In hebrew, there are frequently no vowels, as here. Also, an "F" sound turns into a "P" sound with the addition of one of those dots that aren't there. So, in an alternative universe this poster has the (hipster?) proclaiming "I, too, am a Duty Prick"

I saw this building in a field on the Avon Cycleway audax yesterday and stopped to investigate. Unfortunately I couldn't get any closer without trampling on the maize. I'm not sure if it used to be a windmill or maybe a storage of some sort or what. There is a a rectangular single-storey building completely enveloped in bushes behind it and at some point the tower has had an electricity connection.

That's a lovely picture.

I'm slightly confused by the bonsai pot amongst all that, or was it being used as an ashtray? Looks like a decent quality pot as well - I have a few trees that would fit it.

Looks as if it has a matchstick in it. I wouldn't have known it was intended for bonsai. Whether they did, who can say?

That's not aliens, that's spiders. They'll be hiding in the rain gauge, plotting[1].

I cycled about half a mile down a cycle path on Saturday that was in similar shadow. It was quite disconcerting.

My main issue was my brain was convinced I was going to be riding over a surface that was going to shake my fillings out.

Ha - I can imagine that!

I'm fairly impervious to both strobe lighting and visually stressful patterns, but there's something special about riding through something like that that makes me rather queasy.
This thought brought to you by a new fence with vertical strips on alternating sides that makes up for its lack of hard shadow with moiré effect. :hand:

Yebbut a gourd in French is a courge, which has no negative or offensive meaning. A gourde is basically a water container made from the stomach of a dead animal, but some people use it for any water container. For the reason you mention, I hate when local cyclists use gourde for a water bottle. I can't resist the urge to tell them No, it's not a gourde, it's a bidon!

Just saw this. Yes, it may also be that. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gourde I have no problems with gourde meaning bidon, it's figurative and as old as the hills.

We used to throw stones at the telegraph wires, because on the rare occasions that we hit one the zing! would shoot away either side. There was never any visible damage. The railway was disused, too, so no chance of hitting a train.
There used to be signs up threatening fines of 40 shillings for trespass on railway property. Wish I'd nicked one, it'd be grand to have now. Couldn't reach them though.

Well of course it does. I mean, it's Nieder, so lower, but it's also alt, like alto, so high. And it's a dorf, like Homer Simpson, so altogether the place is confused.
