I saw Brian Cox on BBC American. Is he really your top physisistists-fist? He seems a bit of a tool quite honestly. I prefer Top Gear and the BBC World News that for whatever reason includes nothing that happens in your world. Last time I saw a British Isle story was a naked dude running across an F1 circuit. Nice teeth though……..
Hush your mouth! Professor Brian Cox (formerly Doctor Brian Cox (formerly Brian Cox (formerly Little Brian From Down The Road (formerly Mrs Cox’s As Yet Unnamed Child (formerly Sperm #33756588))))) is a close, personal friend(*) and I’ll not have any bad words said against him. Especially on a lamb-related article. That angers physicists like nothing else.
"Time for another round of punk musicians that fell way below the Retrospace radar. We here at Retrospace pride ourselves in obscure 70s acts, whether it be disco or yacht rock; however, our knowledge in the ways of punk begin and end with The Ramones. Beyond that, we are like Olivia Newton-John at a Hawkwind concert - lost, confused, and a little bit afraid." - Mark H
Although Akiva's probably got all their back catalogues. - Mark H
No but I do remember Alien Sex Fiend and Look Back in Anger. :( - Akiva
"That’s right, with this unique offer we'll send you and two others of your liking to the wonderful, romantic Windermere Suites. ‘So what’, we hear you say in your delightful cadence, ‘me and two mates went to Magaluf once, no biggie’. Au contraire. What we are saying is your fine self and two other companions would be sharing one room. The three of you. At once. Do I have to draw you a diagram? I think you know where we are coming from." - Mark H
"We know this sort of thing happens constantly on the continent. And so in a show of solidarity with our smutty European neighbours, we thought we’d give it a bit of a go. You’ll be breaking all sorts of taboos in style. The Windermere is pure class; you’ll receive Champagne and chocolates on arrival at your room, which will be beautifully decorated with rose petals and fairy lights." - Mark H
"Will we be given privacy at the hotel? Almost certainly. Instances of hotel staff bursting into rooms with large old fashioned cameras featuring enormous flashbulbs and taking explicit photos while shouting 'what a scoop!' have almost entirely been stamped out." - Mark H
*European Film Star Postcards*: Margarete Schön - »
"Margarete Schön (1895 – 1985) is best known for her role as Kriemhild, the beautiful but revengeful princess of Burgundy in Fritz Lang’s silent epic Die Nibelungen (1924). The career of this German stage and film actress spanned nearly fifty years." - Mark H
"During the Second World War she appeared in approximately ten films, but she generally avoided roles in Nazi propaganda films and stayed decidedly apolitical. One exception was an uncredited bit part in Veit Harlan's nationalistic film Kolberg (1945, Veit Harlan) starring Heinrich George. One of her most popular roles of the era was the character Frau Knauer opposite Heinz Rühmann in the classic comedy Die Feuerzangenbowle/The Punch Bowl (1944, Helmut Weiss) for Terra-Filmkunst studios." - Mark H
"The Israeli fashion magazine Belle Mode published this provocative/controversial editorial as a way to protest against the infringement on the rights of women on religious grounds." - Mark H
I wish more people would point out that modesty clothing rules for women are predicated on the idea that men cannot control themselves. If they see a glimpse of flesh, they'll assault, rape and/or commit adultery and it's the fault of the woman who exposed her shoulder, neck, etc. So women must bundle themselves up lest they "tempt" men. It's an idea that's insulting to men and to women. I'm not against women who feel they'd rather wear modest clothing doing so. I'm against the inculcation of the above-stated ideal and leaving women no choice in what they want to wear (whether that's by law or by social pressure). - Spidra Webster
Why Sharpness is a Bourgeoise Concept in Street Photography - »
"When is the last time you looked at a great photograph and said, “Wow that is one sharp image” or, “Wow that photo has great bokeh”. I doubt if you look at any of work of any of the great street photographers (including Henri Cartier-Bresson) you will make that statement. Most of their work has been done with relatively deep depth-of-field and very few (if any) of them are shot wide-open." - Mark H
"One of the things I love most about street photography is that you don’t need a fancy or expensive camera. Any camera out there can shoot great street photographs (including iPhones). If you want some great examples that the camera you use doesn’t matter (in terms of image quality), check out the iPhone street photography of AikBengChia or the mobile street photographer group." - Mark H
"While the U.S. continues to bask in the warmth of an unusually mild winter, Mother Nature has claimed almost 300 lives from Switzerland to Rome as temperatures plumet up to -22 Fahrenheit across Europe." - Mark H
the ones near lake geneva are beautiful! - grizabella
i also love the photo taken in a park in burgos! - grizabella
It's usually milder in the UK because we've got the gulf stream protecting us but just down the coast from me a few days ago the shoreline froze over; I've never seen that before. - Mark H
You'd think at some point he might grow up but it looks like it'll never happen. I don't have time to waste on people who delete threads you've participated in and remove comments elsewhere. Blocked, here and elsewhere. - »

(*) In the same way you are.
He made me want to choke a squirrel………..more than usual that is.
