I thought that with the beach one - guys conked out on the sand with their clothes on, including ties.

New Yorkers back in the day.

We had a Viewmaster in the 60s, I loved it. We didn't have story reels though, ours were all animals and scenery.

Objection! This is not Dull, it is Quite Interesting. I have a gentleman friend with a non-Norwegian wood pile and he would also find it Interesting.

Content not available in my region, so I'm grateful for the quoted material. Thanks.

"Covered placket", aka fly front. You're welcome.

May I present a Scottish delicacy - the macaroni cheese pie.

My sister's dog honked up a whole one, to everyone's horror.

Maybe worth pointing out here that being a communist country doesn't seem to have done Vietnam much harm.

Rowing. Sport you can do sitting down.

Scotland and Scotland. I love it here. Even though it's raining as I write - don't have to worry about watering the garden.

My sister got involved in a Pentecostal church and I became fascinated by speaking in tongues. It was such obvious bullshit, and she could never explain it ("The pastor says it's the divine spirit, bla bla bla..."). So I looked it up.

In the Bible "speaking in tongues" was like a universal translator. The Christians were preaching to a multilingual crowd. There was a mighty wind (lol) and flames appeared over the preachers' heads.

From Acts: "And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language."

But now because this is a fairy tale that didn't happen, it's morphed into gabbling nonsense that no-one understands.

As seen in Mr Nobody Against Putin. Heartbreaking.

I didn't think I'd care - I breezed past 60 - but I find that I do. It's partly that I've teetered into the category of "elderly". It's partly that The End is looming. My mother died at 90. Dementia took her last five years. I'm 73. I try not to do the maths.

Yes, it's true you "get more admired". "Isn't she marvellous for her age!!" Boak.

An example.

Sorry about the quality... I downloaded it (it's my own photo, just not on my phone) and it appeared in the thumbnail for a random album, but wasn't in the album. Or any album. So it's a crop of the album thumbnail.

Project Swastik was a roads improvement programme in northern India. The swastika symbolises protection and it's ubiquitous in India (and Asia).

Wait till you hit 70. Biggest shock of my life.

"Nope, no famine here..."

And then crank it up to 220° fan when it's taking too long.

Thanks for your excellent rant!
