My brain forgot about Halloween for a minute due to long-day tiredness and single minded focus on lying down, so I stood outside my hotel for a good few minutes wondering about the crime scene tape

Its this by the way. link.deezer.com/s/31sP1XJBQw... maybe the original is in Gb (I don't have perfect pitch or any tuned instruments to hand...) but the chart I saw certainly wasn't

Its going to say that the Romans were the greatest people who ever lived, their architecture was amazing, their technology ahead of its time, and then say the Jews were responsible for their decline.

Some fantastic #graffiti in #Cheltenham. The colourful sections at the sides are good but the central section is quietly fantastic. Zoom in to see the brilliantly painted brickwork giving a 3D impression.

At least most people have heard of Amazon (unless they've been living there...) - just wait till Cloudflare stuff breaks and the noise will be "Who the heck are Cloudflare and why are they in my internet?"

Screen grab from the same film. The title character looks at an image on a device on his desk. The image is of the police officer at his door

Took me way to long to figure out what they were trying to do here. Did they take a radio ad and slap it on a poster?

Cartoon: simple black and white line drawing. A couple in a living room. The man is sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper, head turned slightly towards his wife who is standing at the window, tugging at the curtain and saying "I see the Renegade Master's back once again with the ill behaviour".

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like.
