The Ladybird version of Dracula scared me so much I slept with a tube of garlic puree on my windowsill for weeks and fashioned a cross from Lego bricks. Must have been about five.

Reading old comics and I'd completely forgotten that Weetabix used to be promoted by a gang of skinheads.
It's a group of five lumps of bone dry breakfast cereal dressed as 80s skinheads for very unclear reasons.

Important exhibit at the People's Museum in Manchester which is a fantastic place celebrating 200 years of kicking against the pricks from the Peterloo massacre to the radicals of 21st century. This banner dates from 1977.

Currently reading a knock off Shadow story from 1940.
Pulp magazine cover for The Spider. There is a lurid picture of a suited man with a cape and a Revolver and a woman in peril. The story is titled Pirates From Hell!

This is a lovely little micro dungeon crawler card game. Superb theming and very addictive gameplay. Amazing the strategy you can get from less than 20 cards. I have yet to win but that's fine.

Bust of noted 19th century blind MP Henry Fawcett. He does not have time for your bullshit. It’s part of his monument which is beside the Thames and attached to a still functional Victorian water fountain.

This is the absolute best way to sink Burnham's chances. Is he secretly a political genius? (no)

Found in a local book exchange. They don't make covers like that any more. I don't even care whether the book is good.
Copy of Ice-Breaker by John Gardner. The cover boldly proclaims "Ian Fleming's masterspy James Bond is back in John Gardner's Ice-Breaker". The cover is black with a gleaming skull that for unclear reasons has a pair of tired looking green eyes. The title is slightly embossed in metallic blue. It is from 1983

Stupid holiday reading while I'm cat sitting for my sister. Can it somehow be even worse than the Left Behind series?

We must act now!!!
Poster showing Nigel Farage's head collaged onto a spider looming over some mountains. The poster reads: THINK!
A VOTE FOR FARAGE IS A VOTE FOR SHELOB!
FACT: Farage knows only hunger and is sick of eating orcs.
He craves sweeter meat. Are you sweeter than an orc?
FACT: None will escape his webs. All will be consumed for he contains an emptiness that can never be satiated.
FACT: Unchecked he will feed until he has become more massive than the mountains themselves. THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER FOR GREAT BRITAIN!!
Join us in demanding that. Farage abandon politics and return to guarding the paths of Cirith Ungol.
There he can brood in shadow and malice and trouble not this sorrowing world.
WE MUST ACT NOW!!!!

Ringo Starr is a collaborator. Spread the word. You are being lied to.
A poster in black and white showing Thomas the Tank Engine in front of a nuclear explosion. The character I knew as The Fat Controller lies dead opposite. I think he's called Lord Toppam Hat now which is fair enough on one level but I bet there's a dark story about how he got his peerage. The text reads SAY NO TO DEVIL TRAINS! THOMAS ENDORSES NUCLEAR WAR! Educate yourself on Sodor's secret bunkers. What use is a train when all the tracks have melted?

"It would appear that our Rotary Club has an enemy/enemies" might be the greatest opening line in the history of passive aggressive posters. I don't know who the enemy/enemies of the Ilkley Rorary is/are but I salute anything that led to the creation of this work of art.
Vandalism here
It would appear that our Rotary Club has an enemy/ enemies. Four times this year this display cabinet has been deliberately forced open and any poster on display removed leaving the cabinet door swinging dangerously in the breeze. To cap it all, the whole cabinet was prised off the wall and dumped down the street. Why would someone do that? The events publicised in the cabinet over the period were a choral concert at St Margaret's, a Folk Concert at the Clarke Foley and a Recycle Day. The posts are purely informative of forthcoming local Rotary events.
Nothing controversial there you would think. The cabinet cost £500 funded by our Members. The Local Authority has given permission for it to be sited here.
The Rotary Club raises money for charities many of them local to Ilkley. No Club Member benefits financially from the collections, i.e. no management costs. The Club is not affiliated to any political organisation. The Club does not have a religious bias.
The Club does not take sides in global conflicts but it does raise money for those innocent civilians who suffer during conflicts. The Club also raises money to help people who suffer following natural disasters such as earthquakes, flooding etc. Our Club has donated over £100,000 to charities in the last five years, money largely donated by you, our local citizens and businesses. If you have any information about this please contact us: email ilkleywrc@gmail.com. We want to be able to tell you about forthcoming events.
The mantra of Rotary is - "Service above self" - which says it all in a nutshell.

My darts accuracy has improved a lot but I still can't actually hit the double I'm aiming at with any degree of consistency. Endless near misses are still misses. It's an entertaining paradox.
Three days thrown at the double 6. Two are in the single 6 and one is in the double 10. All are less than a centimetre from the double 6.

Professor Jameson Space Adventures 2: The Sunless World by Neil R Jones. A collection of 1940s and 50s pulp sci-fi stories. The illustration shows robots exploring a word cavern which seems to be exploding. The tagline "trapped in the caverns of an exploding planet!" supports this reading of the art. It's a tatty paperback from the mid 60s.

Pleasantly gynocentric depiction of The Universe in a copy of Hildegard of Bingen’s mystical theology.
The world is surrounded by a field of stars and a border of divine flame in this medieval illustration. It looks like a vagina with the flames forming a halo of blond public hair. There’s a clitoris and everything.
