No thanks Whyte & Mackay, all us 50 year olds do is moan about our ailments.
Whyte and Mackay bottle of whisky with a slightly misleading offer to "win a 50 year old". Without clarification that it means a bottle of 50 y.o. whisky.

B&Q didn't have the right trucks for an 8 foot by 3 foot piece of board. So I've problem solved the wrong type of trolley. Don't think the young lad I nicked the pen off expected not to get it back.

Which Mancunian Blueskyers remember the 'B of the Bang'
Dead, I think Allium flower head. Brown stalks radiating out like a firework or the short lived and long gone B of the Bang, sculpture that used to stand on the corner of Man City's main Ethiad stadium site.

The original Bubo from the Harryhausen exhibition a few years back. Even as a fan there were so many things there that I'd never seen or heard of before. Him and Postgate/Firmin. Proper genius.
Bubo the Mechanical owl from 1981 Clash of the Titans film.

Not dead Bertie. Signed off as well as he's going to be and panting after his terrible trip out to the Vet. & Mavis who didn't go and spent all the time he was out pacing, whining and looking out of the window for him, now playing it too cool for school with him 😀

Are you in Whitby? we stopped just out of town and walked past that sign every day. If so, The Passage to India restaurant at the bottom of the road facing the station is absolutely lovely. 2 minutes walk that you won't regret at all 😀

Dead Ernest. 1982. I only remember it for one beautifully melancholic line by Ken Jones: he'd been a parrot in a life and was forced to admit his owners trained him to say 'I am a Puffin'

@bsky.app Your discover options. None of which I have ever shown the slightest interest in nor posted about (but, but, no algorithm, I know). You offer me the option to pin these feeds of zero interest but no option to dismiss or hide them, in the hope something better pops up in their place. Why?

I'm counting it as #SundayPixSport Mavis and Bertie having a rollicking good time on a very wet field
Brindle greyhound (Mavis) leaping over a large puddle in a grassy field she's fully in the air with spray kicked up by her back legs. White greyhound (Bertie) is cornering slightly less tightly trying to keep up with Mavis.  You can see his reflection in the puddle.

#SundayPixSport WFL: Man C v Man U at Old Trafford in April. This is rather Cartier-Bresson the decisive moment where a header becomes a goal. (Pure luck I got the ball bang on going over the line)
Ladies football game. Man C, blue team attacking Man U (reds) Goal. The ball is visible between the Man U keepers outstretched arms just as it is passing over the line for a City goal.

This is the Google street view for the address. The main door sign looks like *something* Research and the small car parking sign on the building itself has Estate Research added. They sound more Ambulance Chaser than out and out scammer.

#SundayPixContrast. Light and dark
Head and shoulders shot Son 2 at our local Illuminate festival stood in front of of a powerful red light illuminating the parish church in different colours.  Quite a Diabolic effect enhanced IMO as my phone camera struggled to make the highlights round hos chin, cheekbones and forehead more rounded and natural looking.A very old pic from an exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park working on themes of despair and powerlessness. A plastic life sized model in a crouching posture with their hands over their mouth. It is mounted feet first onto a wall, the front of the body is facing towards the floor. No other lighting to show the room itself.

#SundayPixContrast. Beautiful artwork for a terrifying mythological creature
The Kelpies near Falkirk. Fabulous piece of Art representing the role of horses in the heavy industry of Scotland, but the Kelpies of myth were shape shifting water dwellers who would entice folk onto their backs and carry them off under the water and drown them.

Also, if the daft arse gets what he wants then basically his win over Millwall is voided cos they wouldn't have played them in the semi's. They'd have played.... You guessed it.... Middlesbrough.

#Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. Wings and knobs
Former Bishop of Liverpool late 1800's. at his repose,with a magnificent beard, being watched over, and you can't see them but having his head enveloped in the wings of an angel.Some of the Organ effect knobs on one of 2 keyboards for use in the Cathedral.  How I don't know but apparently this one can be moved about as needed.More wings on a memorial. Small child sitting between the talons of a rather perturbed looking eagle looming above it, with wings outstretched 

This is at the feet of the memorial to the Earl of Derby. Not sure if the eagle is feeling protective or hungry.
