The backside ...

Ambulance! He's lying outside the house with the daytime burning street light ...

Chaotic, divided people are easier to dominate and exploit.

The steel reinforcement corrodes, expands and breaks up the concrete, allowing more water in and more corrosion.

Yes. A big problem and one that no amount of AI will solve..

Considering that the other flyovers and bridges on the M8 were built at the same time ... they must all be due for repair or replacement..

The Victorians built public structures to last. We build them to make money and rebuild every 50 years.

Gerry built ?

The travelling post office train left Penzance every evening and it had a letter slot on the side that allowed you to make the very last post out of Cornwall....

They collected mail and sorted letters. It continued right into the noughties.
Just like the ' Night Train ' film of the Thirties.

It worked last time I used it. About a year ago.

Took a couple of shots. The weather wasn't ideal and I picked the wrong location. It's best for street and close up work as the image is so small.

So another 18 or so to go then develop and scan..

Ah! The sun is out. CU later..

There are three USAF aircraft flying over the west of Scotland at the moment. A Hercules. A Globemaster and a Galaxy.

Update. Another Globemaster has appeared.

Eliminated ... Are you some kind of ghoul ?

Murdered. No doubt along with his family and half the residents of his apartment block.

Reminds me of the toilet graffiti of a past era.

Please don't throw cigarette butts in the urinal.

Added to it was.. as it makes them wet and difficult to light ...

New Laigh Kirk. Kilmarnock. Yesterday.

I like converging verticals...

Just like Pearl Harbor was a preemptive attack .. ?

I just saw a US transport place landing at Prestwick. No doubt refueling on its way back from supplying the war materiel to the Middle East.

Our airports and the US air bases here are supporting the war machine.
We could stop this but we are in an abusive partner situation.

Billionaires spend billions of taxpayers money to keep poor people poor and in their place.
The American Dream.

The ' if only ' reaction to a shocking event involves Burnham being able to win the by election and a Labour replacement winning the Mayorality in Manchester.
Both high risk strategies.
No. Labour lost because it has no identity. Nobody knows what it stands for anymore.
We had hope. It's gone.

You can't ignore the fact that the fascists and millionaires managed to con ten thousand people into voting for them in this election..
What's the matter with people ?

Two and a half tonne f***ing cars with fenders at eye height do a lot of damage to a human body.

Two folk in a voting booth.. They'd have to be skinny.

Anyway. Is it significant? That is the issue really.

Worth clicking on to enlarge. I didn't see the star otherwise.

Reform is deliberately undermining demorcracy. Make no mistake. That is the plan.

The idea is that when democracy is in disrepute their billionaire and lesser rich sponsors will run the show. For their own benefit.

That's the cartridge loaded with some 50+ year old Pan F film...

Now for a #CommieCamera test outing tomorrow...

Wasn't he in the Tooting Popular Front in his young and carefree days ?

It's arrived ! Focus ring turns, shutter fires, aperture seems to work. Sealed, exposed cartridge included... no indication of make or type of film 🤔. A marvellous bit of mystery..

Does anyone know how to improve the finish on the metal cover? I think it's anodised aluminium...

How American. Celebrate bringing death, anarchy and chaos to millions of largely decent people who have done nothing wrong.

Some good wishful thinking. The National is full of such ' if only ' clickbait. It pays the bills.

Maybe true about the Labour Party. But it's not 1975 and they can only lead where people will follow.
The question about the Greens is, do they believe in working people actually working, do they want growth and finally, have they any balls ?

Whatever happened to ' night classes ' ?

Self improvement used to be a big thing in Scotland. Now the schools lie largely unused in the evenings and weekends.

We canny pay the janny it seems.

Don't vote for that protest party. Vote for ours !

America.. You have a problem. A big one.
