I think George put him up to it, because Brad is the real father of Baby Grundy

I think Michael would find his competitive streak with Tennent would see him shine in the role

You didn’t see the Raven when you were younger Peter Lorre was not so frightening in this film with Boris Karloff and Vincent Price

I did a search and it is now Corel Draw paint and you can still get hold of it. Although how different it is from this version I do not know

I think this got absorbed into Corel Draw. There was a Corel Painter if memory serves me correct.

Dived off that rock numerous times as a kid. Used to go crab hunting with a gaff on ‘crab island’ which is uncovered to the far left of Rotherslade bay when it is low tide.

So which party voted to destroy this national landmark? And who should be held accountable for destroying this beautiful place?

There are some incredibly ignorant simpletons given airtime. It’s almost as if there is a racist bigoted agenda by media executives mirroring the President’s small minded views

Windows reveal moments in time, these are a few of my window Watercolours, Fishguard in South West Wales, Nice South of France, Southampton and finally my Dad’s bedroom in Swansea. My father’s painting displays his artistic abilities, the Peacock feather the detail, the figure in the shower. #art

Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy 1970-1971 by David Hockney is one of my favorite Paintings. The light, the detail, the composition. I was amazed. Almost a photograph and yet not. I saw it in a Sunday magazine and it instantly became one of my favorite paintings. Such a great loss to art.

This is the rambling of a person that is not well, his mental stability should be brought into question. How can America elect a President that speaks gibberish and lies fluently?

It’s good to ask questions, but it also reveals maybe you do not have a full grasp of the situation. Or are is he being facetious knowing the facts and pointing out the simplicity of the solution. It is difficult to get the Supreme Court to make a ruling knowing that the majority are Republicans

If Trump has all the cards then why isn’t the straight of Hormuz open. Meanwhile the market drops because the war is not over and the ROW are held to ransom as 20% of the Worlds oil And fuel cannot get through the straight. Who does he think he’s kidding?

I fear the little prince may already be incarcerated, does he have the funds to meet bail to flee the Country after he paid Giselle to stay silent?

This is Hector, a Texas Great Blue Heron, he was sitting patiently on the banks of Trinity in Fort Worth. There were a number of other Great Blue’s. I assume they were waiting for their Annual General Meeting to start. High on the agenda was annual fish quota and Trump’s disastrous Tariffs.

Always remember he is a convicted felon and guilty of assaulting a woman, as well as a compulsive liar. Do not think of Trump as a President. The only reason he has not released the Epstein files is he cannot prove his innocence in doing so.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

The Deluge
030
Gareth Perry @garethperry.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
Another of my father’s many memories and stories. This is from a time gone past in Terrace Road where I grew up. To set the scene, there is fierce storm the night before and somehow water has got into the ceiling from a hole in the roof and the following is my father’s description of what unfurled:
After the Deluge
...
All night long, rain rattling above their heads on roof and windowpane, on their dreams and their dreamlessness and in the morning: silence and a strange, parched stillness. He lay studying the small rectangle of shadows in the portable TV: the mirror with grey-rosed wallpaper in, grey shelves, grey books ; the shrunken bed with him and her in it, grey and foetal, ten thousand fathoms deep...Through the gap in the blinds, treetops waved outside, signalling in: face-making leaves and branches with sky holes in and empty sockets of eyes: live leaves next to the curtains' still ones - a moving mass of chlorophyll and light and photosynthesis.
The periscope hands of the Civic Centre clock tower had stopped. The tide was hill-high, the rows of rooftops, stepping stones leading down to and under it.
Small, infinitesimal sounds returned: the breeze outside and the sound of her snore and something that wasn't there before: a slow, rhythmic pat pat pat...He tried to home in on it, at first thinking it might be the drainpipe outside or the guttering. Then there were two sounds: a pit and a pat in unison. Something struck the carpet.
He looked up. Towards the foot of the bed and over the bookcase were two bulges in the ceiling paper a single drop of water welled at the bottom of each. He lay a moment, mesmerized, watching first one drop fall then the other, first one drop then the other...Then he galvanized into action, rolled out of bed, rushed downstairs and got two saucepans. Only a few old paperbacks had got wet, he was relieved to find when he returned, and the carpet was a bit squelchy, but other than that -. He aligned the saucepans directly under the drips, removed the books, put an old towel down on the damp patch and got back into bed. The pitterpats clanked on cold steel. He lay awake, counting the seconds between clank and clank, unable to go back to sleep for the din. His wife had begun to stir - a small hammer tap-tapping on the cast-iron wom…

Tooty at Twenty

‘The cat has had enough,' is winding down' you say as, for the fourth or fifth day in a row, she seeks out some new hiding place away from humankind: first under the bed then in the airing cupboard, then a sideboard drawer.
Today it's somewhere else again. A strange place to go and die - in the small, round darkness of the Hotpoint, among all those knickers, bras and underpants. Maybe she wants to go back to the womb, to complete the cycle - like worn-out clothes that always return freshly warm and new.

Turning in, you remind me she's
for the Vet tomorrow - 'And whatever you do don't shut the Hotpoint door. Just like you to forget and spin-dry her.' All the same, I fall asleep in the big armchair
watching the Late Night Film. When I come to I haven't forgotten her - tucked in her little pod, hatch half-open. I switch on the kitchen light to make sure but it's still night in there.
I have to go down on all fours to listen to the blackness, to tell by her tiny purr she's still alive...

...and there she is light years away
Floating in space behind a towel: cataleptic, a ravaged ball of fur imperceptibly breathing still.
My mind at rest, I inadvertently close the door on her then quickly open it again. I put out Kit-e-Kat and water on the cold stone tiles then climb the stairs. Tonight, we'll sleep through her pain again, each in our own hermetic dark as we orbit together for one last time - compañeros of a score of years - space-trekkers in the long slow spin towards morning.

Begs the question, which South American Country is next? Which country has the biggest Oil reserves? Or maybe Greenland is on the radar? Or maybe Mexico? Will Trump employ Putin tactics and now invade Venezuela for land and resources?

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
