Back, after a while away.... what have I missed?

I love Christmas light shows...

Interesting - suddenly I'm attracting new followers who are convinced that they know how I would have voted in the recent US presidential elections.
I don't even express UK political views on social media and I'm certainly not going to giving my opinions on other peoples' politics!

Been there, done that ... decided it seems the fairest method of representing people but equally, the most ineffective way of producing an effective government....

So, the government wants to do away with both Surrey Heath Borough Council and Surrey CC, turning everything into a bigger unit.
Hmmmm, interesting.
Personally, I am voting for the past “civis Romanus sum” system….

88 years ago today, Robert Johnson stepped into a San Antonio hotel room and changed music forever. His first recording session and recorded blues classics like 'Sweet Home Chicago,' 'Terraplane Blues,' and 'I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom.' The birth of a legend.

Lovely colours - full of zing!

Anyone else in a life and death struggle with their printer?

What would we do without you, Steve?

Well, that's my childhood sent to the charity shop.....

Somehow cold and grey is much worse than cold and sunny - For which I don't have a suitable illustration, so have an old postcard of my local High Street instead!

Remember when A Capella singing was just the Swingle Singers (and barber shop had hardly made it to the UK)……

Greetings from Soggy England! Interesting to see how this will turn out - social media seems so necessary, but it is a mixture of the good, bad and the dreadful. Twitter and BS are similar in the same way that sourdough and sliced loaves are, but 'it's horses for courses'. Does that make sense?

A British pensioner whose bland sandwiches gained him unexpected fame in China has died. Keith Brown, a retired engineer known on Chinese social media as "Old Dry Keith", became a hit when his Chinese wife Zhang Jian began to post videos of him assembling the ham and cheese sandwiches he liked to eat. Chinese observers were grimly fascinated by his dry, boring sandwiches, and his gentle, stoic manner - and he built up a cult following. "We go from questioning the dry old man, to understanding the dry old man, to becoming the dry old man," observed one cultural commentator. "The old man is us, and his dry lunch is our dry life."

Deadwood is NOT dead

Good to see that even extinct species get included in Christmas....

There is a special circle in hell for publishers who do not make the gutter margins big enough

Anyone else worry that they are saying the wrong things to the even wronger people?

AAAAHHH INCOHERENT FAN NOISES GO HERE

Why ARE you here Steve ?

Very unsure about this character helping out at Santa's Grotto today....
Surely, bearly awake?
